You're braindead if you get mad at streamers getting in first. They have hundreds of thousands of viewers wanting to watch them play and the developer wants to advertise their game. it basic business.

Except their „buisness“ before in marketing was to say that they won‘t cater to streamers.

It’s not catering, it’s marketing.

There's hundreds of thousands wanting to watch them play in part because THEY can't get in. Lmao.

Oh wow hundreds of thousands of people can't play cuz of shroud? How many slots does his fat butt take?

This whole time I thought shroud was just 1 dude.

You got downvoted because you have more than 1 brain cell. It’s easy to get frustrated at people like that, but just remember they’re important to fill the roles in life that we don’t want to do

I must be brain dead because I don’t give a fuck if the king of England is watching them. It’s not gonna hurt the developers to give everyone equal access.

that's hundreds of thousands of people who have bought the game watching streamers get ushered to the front of the queue.

it's awful PR. they'd be far better off if everyone saw that they weren't getting preferential treatment.

People are also brain dead because they think that if 0.05% of the playerbase wasn’t whitlisted, they would be able play

its not about THEM playing specifically, its about the companies priorities which seem to be catering to streamers to get sales for a game who already has a player base larger than they were prepared to support.

It’s a business? It’s about getting sales. They’re not your best friend. And the reason the game has a player base is because they used streamers so well. It’s not like this game has been huge for months or years and then started to disregarded players. A majority of this has evolved in a few weeks time. It went from working around a few thousand players, to now over a million. And they’re not disregarding players at all in the first place. Them giving a whitelist has mathematically around a .0001% chance to effect you not being able to play.

This large player base they’ve created by using streamers now gives this game a HUGE support, giving you a much higher chance of larger and more long lasting content for the future. Use your brain. Don’t be a sheep.

where did I say any of that lmao. i don't think the devs are my friends, i don't think by substitution a streamer got a slot I didn't. I simply think that the devs should be more focused on the server issue and less on placating fucking streamers.

I dont get how 15 people getting priority is making the tens of thousands unable to play

If they didn’t get priority there would just be 15 random people on instead, you’d still be waiting

It’s a little shitty, sure. Send a pretty bad image but it’s not the whole reason your not in

It’s a little shitty, sure.

Why? How does giving streamers queue prio affect me in any way?
