King of Avalon
Ads reported as using Cossacks 3 footage
The allegation. Players on the Cossacks 3 Steam forum reported in 2017 that YouTube ads for King of Avalon used footage taken from Cossacks 3, a PC RTS with no connection to the game.
What the game is. A base-building MMO strategy game with dragons, alliances and troop training.
Status. No ruling, no lawsuit. Player report on a public forum, never contested publicly by the publisher.
Difficulty of proof. The complainant noted that ad videos are usually unlisted, so you cannot link them from a normal search. Anyone documenting this needs a capture at the moment the ad plays.
