Remember: The oil industry knew for 70 years what burning oil does to the climate and has been actively undermining that truth for 50 years - that's the Climate Scam. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/12/exxon-climate-change-global-warming-research
This kind of propaganda is desperate. I'm surprised they found this many streamers who apparently don't care where the money comes form.
"Hello, fellow kids. Fortnite sure is lit, huh? You know what else is lit? Our burning planet. Brought to you by Shell."
- Brought to you by Shell
  Literally
- And it works! Thats the insidious part.
They're coming for the gamer support, rookie mistake, gamers never leave the house why would they need gasoline?
- As a gaymer i hate car dependent places rather have good public transit and especially trains so i play my steam deck and switch during trip
- They can't even drive yet :p
Lmao, there is something deeply entertaining about Fortnite being used as a platform for corporate psyops.
Gross.
Sounds like the plot to a captain planet episode.
(Not to downplay how insidious and crappy this is)
Getting rising-sun vibes from that graphic
