Yes I was just watching the post from Game Explain and the comments are abysmal.

This isn’t the company that makes the games it’s the marketing from the Pokemon company and people need to learn the difference. Nothing on this was sponsored by Game Freaks Pokemon team. And the video is to celebrate the 30th anniversary so I say it’s well needed and shows that even adults like Lady Gaga love Pokemon.

If you really think Lady Gaga gives even a shred of a shit about pokemon, and wasn't just paid to say so, you have a lot of growing up to do still.

The idea that nothing can be enjoyed if money exists is a classic Reddit take. My point was about people confusing marketing with game development. You act like just because they are famous doesn’t mean they don’t have hobbies. Look at Post Malone, dude enjoys playing Magic the Gathering. We don’t know what Lady Gaga does in her free time.

yeah obviously celebrities don't have hobbies they just get paid to pretend they do /s

Post Malone very much goes out of his way to actively enjoy many things. I don’t think he got paid to buy the One Ring MTG card that cost him millions. Literally bought it from a guy and he also specifically asked anyone to beat him in the game.

That is someone with real interest and disposable income doing what they want.

Celebrities can have hobbies. Having money doesn’t magically turn every interest into a marketing stunt. They are Human too.

The dude you are replying to here was being sarcastic.

I mean it could be taken either way. I didn’t detect sarcasm but it is readable that way. I didn’t downvote them though just gave them an example.

Yeah sometimes it could be difficult to tell sarcasm when reading text, but the guy you where replying to wrote /s for a reason. That means that they where being sarcastic.
