Really you don't see the problem with me having to watch some non sense i have no interest in in order to obtain something i should have got for the 40$ i paid? something that i cannot otherwise obtain? I don't use twitch i don't want to use twitch So instead i miss out on content. If you can't see why having to go to a differernt media source to get items for a game makes no sense. I don't care if other compaines do it. Some companies dump toxic chemicals in the ocean is that just ok because other companies do it?
you do have a point, a very valid one.
I've never understood streaming, if i like a game, i play the game, not watch someone else play it, unless it's a competition and those people are amazingly good, but watch some random that most often than not is just bad at the game and in acting, their reactions are fake just for the views/clics/likes/donations.......?¿? nonsense indeed
[...].
Puting rewards behind streaming is quite cringy, i guess companies do it to have a feeedback loop with said streamers, they give the streamers a way to get more viewers so their game gets more popular in return, but what they fail to realise is that people come for the reward, leave it playing in the background, or in my case, overnight, in the laptop, with the lid closed to save energy (monitor turns off), and 180p resolution to save energy on the bandwidth and less ram/cpu consumption, less energy consumed, next morning turn the thing off and don't look that crap for a minute...
People that like to watch streamers do so without the need of a reward, people that don't like streaming just play the stream for the reward, they don't actually watch it and
absolutely wont get hooked up watching streams from it.
