A Yu-Gi-Oh! joke about Microsoft and Steam lifts Legendary Drops

Microsoft activated Steam's trap card
A new video on Legendary Drops normally starts respectably, the kind of first day a channel with half a million subscribers can count on. "Microsoft activated Steam's trap card" did far better. Within about a day it was close to half a million views, opening at more than eleven times the channel's usual debut.
The pace stands out even more against the rest of the catalog. On its own, this one upload is running ahead of the daily total the channel usually collects from every video it has ever posted.
The title borrows the old Yu-Gi-Oh! line about springing a trap card, a meme long before it became a headline, and points it at Microsoft and Valve's Steam store. It does not say what Microsoft did. The channel's about line is simply "I talk about games," and its description bills the videos as long essays on publisher decisions and the business behind how games are sold, with Microsoft named among the companies it covers.
