Well people subscribe to twitch streamers all the time, they sub for a configuration import string to have their UI look exactly like theirs.
I just donât get why anyone would pay and subscribe to a streamer, and yet there are so many doing it.
Is this a zoomers thing? I canât imagine anyone above 30 doing this
All depends on how much positive traction they give for Blizzard and their shareholders.
Blizzard has shown themselves to be morally bankrupt several times even in recent times (Hong Kong being one of them). They donât care if prominent players are literally breaking the ToS if it means more revenue for them in the long term through exposure to the game.
I recall not too long ago another prominent streamer on Twitch using this position and influence to get off scot-free over basically using his stream to zero in on players he didnât like and get them ganked in pvp, only for him to whine that he in turn was âsnipedâ by players watching his stream.
The content, by which you mean just playing the game? I watch streams from time to time, to get some new ideas for m+, but the âcontentâ is very veryy far from being good enough to be paid for.
They are so rich, they can play wow, they donât need any support
Stealing?
Hes actually working for it and as you know sometimes work should give you $$$.
Im also not a fanboi, quite the opposite because last time i met this guy ingame back in WoD i was moaning on his chat for like 20 mins for something his team-mates did
heâs a streamer so blizzard wonât care, theyâll just choose to overlook it like they have with previous method/echo members (remember when scripe literally said himself on twitter he was involved in the RMT with gallywix community?)
Just gives less and less credibility to echo.
while i think this is way too dramatic he makes some points.
countless streamers are basically selling weakauras/details/elvui w/e profiles & strings in exchange for subs.
do the authors of weakauras/elvui get any revenue when a streamer gets like $5 for sharing a custom part of code for said addon? nobody is mad about it either.
i feel really bad for addon writers, so many people use addons, theyâre used to getting it for free, always having it updated after a major patch while contributing nothing to the writers.
i wish blizzard would create their own addon section and just let us pay an optional sub or something that gets split between all creators.
