The video is nothing but an unmarked ad. Not worth seeing. No idea why OP shared the video.

The video author is sneaky, though. There is one game in there that isn't an ad (it's even the highest in the list), and it's an ad for GOG, not the games itself.

Seems like you made some LARGE assumptions based on a very small amount of information that you didn't really pay attention to.

  • The video is sponsored by Asus, hence the laptop ad break at 4:23.
  • It sounds like he tried to work out a deal with GOG (which is an excellent company that I don't mind supporting) where the games he mentioned would go on sale to encourage people to buy them. And then the deal fell through, and only one of these games is on sale.
  • All games are linked using an affiliate link, which is NOT the same as a paid ad.

I shared it because I like the creator and a game in the list I thought was cool. Nothing more to it.
