Saying that the WoW community shouldn’t be upset about plunderstorm and we should be grateful?

They’re being paid to say that.
Make no mistake of that.

Are streamers out of touch?
that one is

The only reason I have had a streamer active this week was for the Twitch pet. I had the sound low and the screen minimised. Actually watching someone play is boring enough; watching them play that event over and over for hours is the definition of brain destructive.

Half of them are up for a chance to win $50,000 in prizes. It’s actually mindblowing why none of them publicly refused considering the ethical implications here.

I mean consider what you’d lose as a streamer if you went against Blizzard and they shut you out.

Because streamer fans are typically simping so hard for their favorite that said streamer can say/do pretty much anything and their base will follow.

Over on X one of them was saying how there’s no conspiracy and they’re just sharing their enjoyment. I sent him the screen cap of him on the invite list for the creator royale and said how he was right, there is no conspiracy, it’s right out in the open.

A streamer’s opinion isn’t even worth the mic that it’s spoken into. Whether they’re “out of touch” or not, just don’t give their opinion any power over your decision making and it’ll be fine.

Streamers are fully in touch… with their wallet. Many streamers can be some of the worst human beings on the planet. At some point, they seem to stop being creators or entertainers and become grifters. The main drive is to get the next plug or affiliate status. I only watch players with a Patreon account and zero affiliation to big corporations.

Out of touch with what? Money? They don’t care about WoW anymore, they care about getting a paycheck.

I shouldn’t even ask but who are we talking about?

Streamers are such a fascinating bunch. No real world marketable skills for gainful employment in the real world and yet getting paid more than the people who hail them as heroes

The most sickening part is when they get paid more money to play the games than the people make who created the games.

Oh they are being paid.
I don’t blame them for any of it.
Make that money.
Yet… tbh I almost don’t even want to watch one of them anymore. Just blatantly saying wow players are trash over and over because we don’t agree with something isn’t very appealing… when the whole reason I ever watched them was cuz wow in the first place lol.
Maybe that wasn’t the best approach?

So like a lot of people in the entertainment industry.

Depends on the entertainment, I suppose. There’s certainly one type of entertainment made that’s comparable to the skill requirements but you gotta be over 18 to see them 
No but really, has any patch EVER in WoW history come bundled with a large pot of money directed at streamers publicly as this one has?

I feel like their nuance missing here, its neat that blizz can try new things, and sure this likely a test run for something else thrown together by that team that made spellslinger (or what ever it was called). The only real problem with the patch is its delivery, once again blizz hypes up and under delivered. If this was just randomly released it would of been received a lot better not hyped up as “super amazing” patch or at least should of added more themed stuff to the core game to supplement.

I mean, I do think somebody saying people should be grateful for Plunderstorm is a reach.
However, I do think a whole ton of people are far more bent out of shape over this than should be.
