This wasn't handled well

just a slanderous troll

:smirk:

Exactly. I am so freaking sick and tired of students whinging about the release date as though they are going to be either the only ones affected or the largest long term demographic. Honestly, life gets busy forvthem? Too bad. Life is busy for people with full time jobs all year.

Yeah either you’re a kid or have the mental age of one.

To the point then, the discussion was going about why streamers are bad for the game and we could discuss this as adults, giving our points and counter points to the topic.

Here’s an example. I do not like streamers in wow because once they leave a realm, their fans follow them and that creates dead/imbalanced realms, they also thend to have a toxic community arround them.

The good point about streamers is that they keep players engaged in the game even if they don’t play anymore and bring cheap publicity for Blizzard, keeping the game relevant.

See, it wasn’t that difficult to have a normal discussion. Instead of your patethic and pointless rant. “I wear big boy pants, I don’t emulate children”, only a children, a person with serious mental problems or with a lack of education could follow that way of thinking.

Content “creators” got their information from blizzard via the announcements up until now and then used that as content they “created” for their followers. Why exactly did they need to become the only place to get such information?

In three months, nobody’s going to remember or care.

Cowubunga Dude!

Watching videos of other people play video games is for kids. I don’t care how many kids disagree with me. Its as weird and unseemly as watching a video of someone reading a book or watch a movie. Or dress like Peter Pan.

You disagree. Fine. But also clearly watch videos of other people play video games. My thing is playing video games. You think my opinion is immature. Fine. Thats great. You watch videos of other people playing video games. We will never agree. But I will agree to disagree and we can leave it at that.

And just to be clear - I am not talking about the ultra rare video of the best players of x game competing against each other, which could be analogous to watching professional sports.

Dont worry the few classic servers that will be populated after 30 days will be thriving with content creators and their followers.

It will be the classic community we have all been waiting for.

Classic isn’t going anywhere so people will have plenty of time to play once their busy schedules settle down and by then layering should be gone as well. I agree with Blizzard being the ones who should announce things rather then streamers though.

Hopefully to get exclusive blizz access and beta, they all had to agree that they would all play on one specific server so they could be avoided.

This part particularly bothered me. It felt unprofessional, as if ATVI isn’t taking this project seriously. I’d expect the debut interviews for a major release from a major corporation to be conducted by forbes or another reputable outlet.

Mos def.

I think I will do some research ahead of time to make sure I avoid their servers if at all possible.

They will be a plague on the game community.

In that case I have a five word response to that:

You’re right.

That’s going to end up being the “serious” BG server though where people roll so they can find other people looking for premades

So well put. I’d give more likes if it were possible.

Praying the streamers play on PvE servers to save skin

Kind of hoping they give us a server list soon so I can plan who I want to avoid ahead of time.

I have nothing against the actual streamer, you do you but I want nothing to do with their following.

My daughter watches the overwatch matches on twitch. I’m all “why”?

I don’t get it. And I love college football.

We need more quality dissent and criticism like this. I don’t agree with all your points, but 10/10 well said.

Maybe you should just take away her computer and the internet and instead sit her in front of the TV and make her watch football instead.
