If you're operating e-sports teams and want to build/market a new video livestreaming platform for fans, outside of the walled gardens of YouTube and Twitch and in a cost-efficient manner... bringing on an outspoken and talented entrepreneur who built that exact operation makes all the sense in the world!
And from https://9z.gg/equipos I see that one of their teams focuses on a racing simulator... so it seems the subject of this article is one of the few people in history to successfully reach the endgame of that legendary PSA that admonished viewers "You Wouldn't Download A Car." :)
That aged poorly, I absolutely would download a car.
That ad was always recognized as stupid, that’s why it’s a meme.
Also both the font and the music in the ad were stolen.
Yeah, I know, but now with 3D printing advancements, its even stupider.
"You wouldn't download a car" never appears in the PSA
There was a video with it at some point
Only parodies. The original campaign never said "download a car"
I've definitely stolen many cars in GTA Vice City on the other hand ;)
That is also part of the joke. :-)
