It probably happens in most online games. It became a bit of a controversy within the Path of Exile community, when at league start, players would be sitting in a queue for an hour+, but streamers would be in game, already playing.
At least Grinding Gear Games was honest about it and admitted they did, in fact, have a priority queue for streamers.
it all depends on location too, has nothing to do with streamers, i know streamers from last beta who had problems adn ques, while i had 5-10 min que times while others 20+, so stop crying and assuming
So? You’ll get over it, it’s not a big deal.
It was even worse than that, they were caught communicating about the priority queue with a streamer, on stream! And they were also putting the streamers “friends” in the priority queue. This is my 3rd login right now, started at 15 min, went quickly to 8 and now 5. I suspect a not insignificant portion of teh posts about long queue are trolls. Also, I certainly do hope they open up the early launch access in some way to another deal, just not KFC.
