Controversy

After the three YouTubers involved in production of Dead Realm (Adam Montoya, Tom Cassell, and Evan Fong) published their Let's Play videos about the game, they encountered controversy due to the fact that Cassell did not publicly disclose his financial ties to another game, which constituted a violation of FTC's ".com Disclosures" set of guidelines.[6][7]
