yes, because they are told by blizzard in their private discord to be their PR council online and they suck at it. Theyre not coordinated and they suck at handling bad PR and trying to spin it to something positive.
Theyre being good employees and saying, “misinformation” because they were taught by the corporate press to say it and their new corporate partner.
I mean they have literally came out and said that they want to make sure these people have all the information in their hands so they can be financially stable.
Youtube/Streaming is not a comfortable job… it can be if youre a really great entertainer, its a risky job. And the other thing about that post is that they also admitted that they care about these certain streamers more… one overwatch youtuber says, “well just work harder and you too can be invited to the next streamer resort.” How can one work harder at these favorited streamers when they literally get all the information BEFORE HAND, literally months and more like a year at this point, and they get to plan and they get to be coached by blizzard to know when and how to release this to “show their genuine reaction and thoughts.” No theyre getting a script, theyre making a script and making sure everything they do is perfect… making like 80 cuts making sure theyre not stuttering, while other people who may want to do youtube full time will always be behind the favorited streamers because of the fact that they get to be first every single time when a new announcement happens. flats has honestly been super obvious about what he knows and gets the most defensive when people press him about it, and its sad. i like flats, i think hes a good streamer, but how these streamers are letting their “fame in overwatch” get to them and believe that they are somehow all knowing and deserve to be kings and lords over “their chat” and the entire community/game in general.
