TAKE A KNEE! The US Military has hit a new low while attempting to use Twitch as an armed services recruitment platform. In the COOLEST of fashions, they ran a fake contest on their own Twitch channel! Neat! It featured a clickable link to win an Xbox Elite 2 controller which aaactually just sent participants to a recruitment page, whoopsies! In response to the dubious act, U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said recently that she plans to file a measure to stop the military from using games and esports to recruit people. Sure, some might be willing to give the military the benefit of the doubt... I mean, not like this is the first weird scammy thing the army’s ever done, RIGHT? Join us today on Inside Gaming and read between the lines to learn everything the government doesn’t want you to know!
