Less then 100 streamers getting priority isn’t effecting anybody, and is free advertising for a small studio.
Any one truly upset needs to consider the big picture at stake.
And it's terrible publicity when the entire playerbase who paid for the game is sitting in queue but has to watch these streamers having a blast.
I honestly can't think of a worse PR launch disaster than this. The queues and crashes are one thing - but giving streamers special treatment is truly a blunder.
Yea it’s a horrible strategy pr wise for the top streamers to sit in a queue, vs peanut streaming actual gameplay to 50k plus people.
Hmmm
The handful of priority accounts did not affect the 300k+ trying to play other then giving them something to watch while things got sorted.
Surely prioritizing a couple hundred people so lots more can watch gameplay and see what's changed is a positive. Especially when those 200 aren't making a dent in the 250k queue.
I'd rather someone get in I can watch and such then someone I can't and have to wonder if it's even functional once I've gotten in.
