What's with all the not-so-popular r1/high xp players throwing their life away to stream wow

PVP Arenas
1

not talkin about people like xaryu/asmon/pikaboo that actually get viewers/subs/donos and have

talk about dudes like nahj, palumor, partywaffles who legit plays this game nearly all day/week and gets like max 100 viewers

whats the end game here? out of all the games to try to make money off of, you pick wow arena? how is this sustainable for your life and future family life in the long term. this game dies even harder each passing year too

“hey hun, why don’t we have any money in retirement?”

“sorry sweetie i spent my 20s being a professional wow player” ???

can’t speak for the others

Well, one, you can easily start a career in your 30’s and be just fine. Maybe they plan to.

Two, they’re just doing what makes them happy I suppose in the moment. Nothing wrong with that; there’s not really anything else in life worth living for besides enjoying what time you have. Perhaps they plan to segue into another game at some point.

Three, some of them may just have no aspirations and are “real world lazy.” Hard telling lol.

i think obviously the money comes second

i think they’re addicted to world of warcraft and someone that cares about them begged them to at LEAST monetize their absurd time sink

getting $800 a month from a small consistent community beats being apart of the 99% that are doing the same thing by choice but for free

idk why you care though I think anyone would rather be them than u

What’s with wondering what’s with that?

Playing video games all day, safe and cozy in middle America- that’s a clean dub. These guys probably eat 3 steak dinners a day. Central air, scrip painkillers if they want em, etc.

I mean, what makes anyone do anything? Lol Plus you never know what’s going on behind the scenes. They could be a successful day-trader or something.

what about purpose?

17

You guys are an interesting group of people
we go from banning anything that breathes , going quit wow , RSS is dead

to

“THE PURPOSE OF LIFE” questions lol

BLIZZARD FIX YOUR GAME ,

look at what you have done

no whats worse than that is the group of players that are at the highest level and who don’t stream.

team luminosity went back to back in AWC and literally didn’t cash in at all on streaming, like are you zerious right now? do you like not making money?

also to answer your question OP, a lot of them have 2nd jobs, or are just double dipping. they’d be playing wow anyway, why not make a supplemental income even if its >$1k a month or something, theyre paying a few bills off playing their least favorite game.

Why would they give away their team comms and strategy book away to the public when they can just remain a mystery

Especially since wow is one of the only pvp games where you can’t spectate games or watch other people’s replays

Most of them live with their parents and are unemployed in their mid-late twenties, it’s either they stream for $150 a week or make nothing until they get kicked out.
