Jesus christ, you really hate entertainers, huh. Would hate to be your friend.
Not all the streamers featured on the list are people making a lot of money off of streaming. Some of them still work like normal people and just stream for fun with streaming as a full time job being in the far, far distant future. This is a good preview in what Blizzard could do for the content creators of Overwatch that they so desperately need to return back to their game. If something like this Support-A-Creator feature were to become a normal thing implemented into the game, more content creators would be enticed to create Overwatch content, therefore spreading the game to a larger audience and encouraging new people to try it out.

You don’t need to generalize the whole list as “lazy slobs”, that’s just rude. They’re all having fun and their viewers have fun watching them. Just because you’re depressing doesn’t mean everyone else has to be!
All I can gather is that you think it’s wrong that kids can’t make this purchase.
My point is that kids can’t make money on their own. They have to have parental involvement, so this is no different from ANYTHING a child buys, including the actual game itself.
What does it matter to you that a kid doesn’t have a credit card? How did they even buy Overwatch 1 if purchasing power is a problem?
on this one occasion, would you rather support [terrible person] or [not terrible person that works to benefit terrible person despite good intentions, and reaps benefits while doing so]
(note: it’s not guaranteed terrible person won’t benefit from you supporting not terrible person, in fact it’s the other way around)
i understand if OP really doesn’t agree with the behaviour of listed streamers. a little far fetched considering there’s 150, but maybe there’s a few unlisted ones that OP likes and would get enough eyes on beta 2.
personally, i was trying to say that nobody working for/to benefit blizzard (in any capacity) is innocent and they all line the “bandit” pockets either way, so giving money to the bandit’s subordinates isn’t automatically the better decision (ethically, at least)
because i’m just like you.
we’re all complicit, i just don’t kid myself that i’m supporting the underdog while being complicit
Oh and Faust you forgot I’m the only one that has ever gotten to speak with a blizzard entertainment employee on here by phone personally to his house lol. Also blizz said as long as I’m not on my main account I can post since this battle tag is assigned to my girlfriend account and phone number and bought and paid for legally there’s nothing that can happen.
I don’t care. Other people are saying they want to donate to “smaller streamers” or pay Blizzard directly instead of “whales.” You are making Faust’s point for them. People who are not okay with donating to streamers because of moral issues but want to donate to Blizzard instead are silly,
Faust is not above the moral implications. Faust is pointing out OTHER people, the original post is saying they would rather donate to any OW streamer, or to Blizzard directly, because of moral qualms about the listed streamers. It is stupid. It is stupid to think it’s morally repugnant to donate to an Overwatch streamer, but that it’s not morally repugnant to pay Blizzard directly.
What is your point? That’s all we want to know. You are complaining about kids not being able to pay with a credit card. Kids have no purchasing power without the assistance of an adult. Why is it a problem. That’s it.
Other than that, what the actual !@#$ are you talking about?
If you want the skin but don’t know who to sub to, niandra is the best option imo. Never had any drama related to them, never been toxic, always been positive and helpful.
They mainly make youtube content for mercy players and don’t stream that often… but they’re by far the least problematic person on the entire list… can’t think of a single thing they’ve done wrong tbh
My favorite part about this is that, on the launcher, it says that this is a free skin but it’s literally not since you have to pay for these gifted subs. Blatant false advertising is not a good look either.
Never do this again it is scummy enough that you guys have the audacity to ask for $30+ on that mythic Genji skin and more in October.
Why don’t you guys humble yourselves a little bit and stop milking your loyal players and consumers before they permanently turn their backs on you?
again it is scummy enough that you guys have the audacity to ask for $30+ on that mythic Genji skin and more in October.
