FIFA 23, the newest member of the FIFA series, manages to enchant people with its graphics, although it garners mixed reviews. But the game, which has a high level of realism, hosted a similar event that we have seen in the past.
A FIFA 23 player broadcast the ‘Germany – Japan’ match that he started in the game as a live broadcast on YouTube. However, the user included statements in the broadcast title as if this match was a real World Cup match. The broadcast was followed instantly by more than 40 thousand people, assuming it was real.
Although some of the audience noticed the situation, it did not help much:
Of course, some users realized that the images in the broadcast were from FIFA 23. Although some voiced the situation in the broadcast chat, many people did not follow the chat and continued to watch it, assuming it was real.
Let’s remember other events where the games were thought to be real:
Recently, we have come across that footage of the game was shared as if it were real, especially during the Ukraine-Russia war. Since the difference between the real and the game is undetectable, especially on small screen devices, many people have taken this bait, gaining views to fake content producers.
