There's actually a group that streamed pixelated FIFA-gameplay during games with the correct streams and all.

It looked good enough so that people actually watched and they got the ad revenue off it :D

Also: perfectly legal, they're just streaming a video game =)




Heh that’s actually kinda brilliant. With good enough engine you can make it almost indistinguishable from irl, hell you can even throw in some better camera angles. I do wonder if that’s going to be 100% legal going forward given potential for abuse here


not just one group, search youtube for any interesting event that happened during a game, maybe for a reply to show your friend who was away, and there are thousands of fifa versions online with matching titles in literally seconds after it happened


It’s perfectly legal because it’s just dumb enough that nobody cares, though
