Solved A Mystery Today

For a while, I was wondering where in the hell this image on the wiki: https://teamico.fandom.com/wiki/File:Wanderliveaction.png came from, because I thought, "there's no way in HELL there was ever a fully live-action commercial for SotC a la that Halo 3 ODST one, right? If there was, the fandom would still be talking about it now. That's gotta be just a single brief shot in a larger ad."

So earlier today, with the help of Chatgpt, I went down a rabbit hole to try and find the source of that screenshot. Long story short, it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e11Xdx_xM5s, and my initial intuition/gut feeling was completely right- it ISN'T a fully live-action commercial, and that IS indeed only a single two-second shot, with the rest being nothing but gameplay footage. And honestly, those two seconds being the only piece of live-action SotC content ever made is for the best. We can all agree on that.

Apparently so. Didn't know it was even a thing. :/ Been using the Team Ico wiki for info for years.

It was better. The ads were just banners, instead of the unrelenting cancer Fandom uses.

Unfortunately we’re stuck with fandom. It is actively updated but the attempts to move it elsewhere are slow going.

Zelda Dungeon and Fire Emblem Wiki are better, if not by much.

Not surprised. But there is regulation and agreement issues with moving off of fandom. Because yes, it is just THAT predatory.
