Remember those Xbox Series X Jenga kits Microsoft was sending out a few weeks ago? Well, people still appear to be receiving them around the world, and one particular influencer in Korea was very bemused by it all.
Described as a YouTuber who "mainly does cooking and very occasionally World of Warcraft", they repeatedly questioned whether the gift was an "early April Fools' joke", asking if "this is the best that Microsoft can do?", before eventually throwing the Jenga set to the floor in somewhat comedic fashion.
The Xbox News for Koreans Twitter account criticised Microsoft for sending the Jenga kit "to a random influencer without any explanation", suggesting "there is no Microsoft employee in Korea who knows about Xbox and games."
"Our Korean Microsoft, without knowing anything about it, just sent Jenga to an influencer who doesn't play Xbox or Microsoft games at all. You have achieved the result of being thrown away."
The streamer in question has since removed the clip from his personal YouTube and Twitch channels, most likely because they've realised the Jenga set actually contains countless hidden Xbox Game Pass codes!

Influencers are the worst. I’ll take the Jenga kit.
@Hypnotoad107 I agree. I avoid them at all costs as if I see an influencer promoting something it influences me not to buy it.
Yeah no this is a case of Microsoft having severely messed up. Why send this to someone who has zero interest in Xbox, much less video games? It says that he mostly does cooking streams. Extremely poor matching here. At least send this gift to someone who actively streams video games so that they can promote the brand effectively!
Influencers are awful but Microsoft messed this one up too. Sending it to a cooking youtuber? Maybe he should have offered it to someone who may have actually wanted it though instead of being a bit of a dick.
Classic Microsoft marketing going into this generation. An absolute disaster.
Stop sending free handouts to these people who do nothing but ask for erm free handouts all day.
@Enigk and avoid watching a single second of his channel.
Ungrateful, Plain and simple..
Free loaders nearly as bad as scalpers
Just sell the console to those gamers that truly want them.
I hate YT people so very, very much...
Influencer. Read entitled bellend who wants everything for free.
They should cook this YouTuber...
I think he's an ungrateful ***** that should have his channel shutdown.
It doesn't matter if he does cooking mostly. He could simply thanks for the gift and move on, actually he didn't even need to show it on his channel. This guy is a complete jerk.
What a dumb idiot, totally unprofessional. He could have gained a few extra subs if he thought about it and played that well, or given it away in a competition if he was allowed to or given the codes away. So much you could do to get more viewership with a gift like that. Instead he acts like a spoilt 2 year old brat and is INCREDIBLY ungrateful and really not very bright at all. If he didn’t want to do anything at all with it he should never had made a video on it and sent it back to Microsoft with a polite note, or just made a video thanking them. Not much of an influencer, although I just call them You Tubers as they don’t influence Jack to me.
Entitled ass in acting like an entitled ass shocker
Avoid these YouTubers like the plague. Entitled little s-t.
So ungrateful, shame really.
This guy is an entitled douchebag.
They should have sent it to someone who would have appreciated it. That dude sounds like a jerk.
They give him something for free and he complains that it's not something he wants? What an entitled prick. Just smile, say thanks, and move on. Throwing it to the ground and whining about it is so childish
