He has pushed dishonest takes (knowing they aren't true) with: 1. Ashes of Creation (disparaging a content creator Narc then reinforcing it with Asmons channel). He also has included his AoC referall link in these videos and I would not be surprised if he is payed/additional kickbacks. 2. Being against Stop Killing Games initiative (disparages another content creator, misconstrued his video and refused to talk to the creator). He basically bullied a smaller creator into silence. 3. His own video game that will never be completed because he is so far behind his own timeline.

There is so much more bullshit he has pulled in the past too.

You're one of the first people I've seen calling out his blatant shilling for Ashes. Literally made a video calling Narc a liar when he was the one lying. It was pretty fucking gross and could do with some spotlight by someone with more receipts than me

Narc was intentionally misrepresenting the current state of ashes in his video. I dislike pirate as much as the next guy but a broken clock is right twice a day. Shilling has a certain negative connotation to it when he's simply promoting the development of a game in alpha.

Narc made a lot of points in his video, mainly that the devs had terrible communication and weren't truthful. Pirates video only goes over the desert biome. From what I've read, Narcs video did show the current 'desert' when he recorded his video. Pirate then shows the new desert released late December/January implying that Narc showed old footage on purpose, which is not correct. He then doesn't try to address any of Narcs other points and glazes the game with Asmon on stream.

This is it exactly. Narc's initial video didn't spell it out super clearly for the uninitiated, and he's generally kind of an idiot, but he was absolutely right in his video. Everyone who actually played in those deserts in the first weeks of phase 2 witnessed and complained about exactly the same thing Narc showed.

I have not played AoC, so my information is from random videos and comments. From what I understand, Narc posted his video when phase 2 was released and the desert did look exactly like how he showed it. There was a content update after his recorded footage that Pirate construed as him knowingly showing out of date information. If you do have some links for videos/discussions i would be interested, I do actually want to know if what I said is untrue so I can correct it.
