/v/ - Video Games

It's only illegal if they didn't disclose it.

Also, wasn't this common knowledge? That shit game blew up overnight, of course it was manufactured (((hype))).

>>16241020

>Also isn't this illegal?

Paying people to advertise things for you has been around for a long time, why would it be illegal?

And? That's how shit works nowadays. Big fucking deal.

>Also isn't this illegal?

Only if not disclosed

You're going to see a lot of EA, Actiblizz and 2K's dirty laundry getting aired out now Tencent is getting balls deep in the competition. Notice how a story about paying streamers to play Fortnite would never, ever see the light of day.

disguisedtoast did a good video on twitch money

>How Much MONEY Do Twitch Streamers REALLY Make? (Inside Look from a Top Streamer)

Streamers were a mistake.

>>16241043

>>16241036

Yea, that's what I meant. I know disclosing it okay but as far as I know those guys didn't disclose the checks from EA they were getting.

Explains how depleted the viewers for it were. It's getting trounced by Fortnite- Season 8 right now. I think Apex is a better game in the BR pool but it's success really hinges on the future update.

>>16241054

>Streamers were a mistake.

Better than journalism.

>>16241020

>twitch streamers are bigger whores than prostitutes

What else is new?

wow this is news to people…

>>16241020

All streamers are paid shills, or wannabe paid shills. All (((hype))) promoted by streamers is fabricated.

Never trust any company. And never trust anyone that advertises any company's products.

but it's quite decent game so who gives a fuck !

>>16241108

Gamergoyim was the sudden realizations that journalists aren't conveyors of objective truths but mercenaries with pens who write for the highest bidder.

Imagine how shocking the realization that Saint Nicolas is long dead, but the spirit of charity lives on through family and close friends must be.

>Also isn't this illegal?

Amazingly, Ninja (and all other streamers who were paid) actually disclosed the fact they were sponsored. When sponsorship ended they just… kept playing the game. Cause the viewers stayed but also the game is fun

>streamers getting paid to be literal shills is somehow surprising

I thought that was the whole point of streams?

>>16241095

I don't know anymore. At least shitty game journalism sites didn't reach and infect children like streamers do these days.

>>16241200

It wasn't until 2010 or whenever the fuck it was the survival update for Minecraft came out.

>>16241209

They also have easily found office locations. You know, for sending pizzas.

>>16241214

Don't even bother acknowledging shills.

>>16241214

As far as shit goes, this one is top notch, gold-encrusted feces.

>>16241513

It's a self contained feedback loop. Force something so hard it's the only story any given day, so of course it'll be famous, letting you publish more stories about how famous he is.

Twitch streamers are literal payed shills

Paid shills need to be kills

>>16241513

Normalfags are brainless zombies.

>there are anons dumb enough to not know that twitch streamers are nothing but shills

sad

>>16241566

>paid shills

No, no, no, (((influencers)))

>>>/v/16241683

You seem upset.

>this is just how things are goy, accept it and be part of the herd

look at all these shills trying to downplay this

>>16241047

>4000 bucks from ads alone

>Doesn't even hit the ad button

Hot damn that's a lot of goys who don't use the twitch5 extension.

>>16241044

Tencent used to own a large percentage of Activision, they must have a lot of dirt.

>>16241618

>that sloped forehead

>>16241703

Nigger, you have to be literally retarded not to assume in the realm of advertisement based monetization that most people "at the top" are going to be massive shills.

>>16241732

of course i make that assumption, the difference is when it's revealed i don't give them a pass for it and try to downplay it with "everyone does it, so what" bullshit like you

>>16241736

It is literally their job to be a shill. It's quite possibly as transparent as you can be. It'd be like if I walked out to a roadside billboard and shrieked at it for advertising at me.

>>16241742

hope you're getting paid for this shilling at least

I'd be extremely shocked if he wasn't paid to play that shit.

>>16241020

>>16241040

Failure to disclose that it's an advertisement is, as it's deliberate misleading.

>>16241763

So was it disclosed? Thats really the important part.

>>16241020

Tell me /v would you dye your hair rainbow and act like a massive faggot online for that kind of dosh?

I would

>>16241767

>/v

You already do it for free.

>>16241752

Look dickass I'm not fond of shilling, shit I'd rather we go back to the days of merchandising based monetization, would make the internet way easier to browse, and in the long term it's much more steady and sustainable than advertising, and it would near overnight cripple silicon valleys fiscally applied censorship when it comes to internet content. I'm just being realistic about the situation that everything is currently in.

>>16241767

I bet you would act like a faggot for dosh.

I'm not too surprised honestly. If anything, one of the problems with Apex Legends, Fortnite, and other fad multiplayer games is that they only are fun so long as their favorite streamer is still playing it. Once the streamer abandons it for something else, the game will start jumping ship. As much as I hate League, there is a reason its still going on despite how fucking static, boring, and awful balancing the game is

>>16241774

>Look dickass I'm not fond of shilling

and yet you're putting in effort to downplay shilling

>>16241774

Your example of a roadside billboard is retarded though, everyone knows billboards are ads. These people, when they disclose, do so in a manner that most people will never see the disclosure. Rarely is it up front and center.

>>16241782

They really don't have anyone to blame when someone finally snaps and starts killing these fuckers.

>>16241793

just report them to the IRS

>>16241793

No one's going to snap. This isn't going to stop. A growing number of people will simply be paid to advertise their entire lives to the world, and they'll use their income to buy the products they've been brainwashed into buying by other people paid to advertise their entire lives to the world. This won't end even when child rapists are live streaming their acts, because it will have been made legal. We'll see livestreams of door-to-door raids on whites to exterminate them hosted on WorldStar. You actually fucking think anyone is going to do a goddamn thing about this? Get a clue, anon.

>>16241793

>Why is this guy making so much more money than me! Kill him!

Are you a nigger by any chance?

Just proves the obvious. They got bots to shove the player count to 10 million in 3 days then paid twitch fags to bring in actual people.

>>16241800

>>16241803

Hey EA.

>>16241797

Get paid to pretend to be a regular guy so as to make lonely people feel like they have an honest friend, once the illusion cracks for enough people it will lose its effectiveness, that's why it's important to show disdain for any lack of principles so that kids will catch on eventually, the fools and the blind are irrelevant.

>>16241020

Shill defense force putting in solid work in this thread.

>>16241020

>famous for his hair color changes

That's actually in the article. I had hoped op added it in of his own volition. Everything reads like it's parody now. But no, I'm not surprised, EA is garbage so they would absolutely have to resort to any marketing tactic they could get their hands on to make up for a very subpar game.

I don't think I'll ever understand how this streamer shit got popular in the first place. Do people really like watching some dumbass stream shit that they could be playing themselves?

>>16241879

When you have the personality of a piece of cardboard, you need to find ways to make your own idiocy stand out.

>>16241865

That 'round' is circling a drain, besides, would you really want to be that guy, even for a million dollars a day? If you would, you are already no better than him, an empty shell.

>>16241882

Same reason everything is fucked now, lonely people with no purpose. God is dead, etc. At least this is a somewhat socially harmless manifestation.

imagine you are famous for your hair color changes

>>16241893

>That 'round' is circling a drain

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I could toil away for 50 hours a week and barely make rent and meanwhile there would be people making more in 1 month than I would in my entire lifetime, not because they're more skilled or talented than I am, but because people like them more.

The world is a shitty place.

>>16241895

Oh, I agree its just another small symptom of a much larger disease that will off itself through itself. However, fear-based accelerationism is everywhere nowadays, lots of people think it's very clever stuff.

>>16241911

Earning more money is not the purpose of life, you are accepting their conditions is my point.

>>16241020

>The 27-year-old, famous for his hair color changes - currently a bright, turquoise hue

Imagine being famous for something like that

>>16241882

I never understood it until a coworker put it on. To him and many others they see the streamers as pseudo-like friends who share the same humor and choice of video games. Too bad normal fags have shit taste.

Shocking that a whore would do stuff for money.

>>16241020

>ninja

>2019

>psudeo-like friends

That seems like they are confusing being a follower then being a friend. You fags are more friendlike then streamers just by being able to talk to you.

>>16241959

>majority of streamers are underpaid

Underpaid?

Fuck me, I just realised that I should have been paid for every hour I've watched shit television or played neon video games. Even at minimum wage in going to be one of the richest men in the country over night.

No one should be paid for playing games or being a screeching faggot with a webcam.

You must be one of those hard working spastics who bought into it and now has a specially selected power-chair where you stream your latest league of legends march to over a dozen people!! I bet you define yourself as underpaid too.

No one paid me to write this message, but it should have been at the same rate as a legal secretary at Apple is paid, at least $100 per word.

>>16242104

>>16242123

I'm fairly sure you just ID hopped here.

In that case, and even if you didn't ID hopped, you're fucking retarded for not having basic reading comprehension. Stop being a reactionary faggot and think for once.

>>16242104

No one should be paid for playing sports either, but people like to throw money at them for some reason.

Dakis are a one time payment, and you can actually hold them. A streamer will forever be on a screen, always asking for more.

>>16242180

>>16242189

True, but what about the countless vidya and anime that exist for no pupose other than the cuteness of the girls? It's the same basic concept, normalfags just manage to be more cancerous about it by convincing themselves that this person is actually their friend and cares about them, instead of embracing the fantasy like otakus and weeaboos do.

>>16242402

No, I just got through a divorce, you?

Brutal. are you just'd from alimony?

>>16241959

>That's really what gets me, no one really knows what his deal with other then people happened to gravitate toward his streams by way of Fortnite.

Consistency. I read that he streams almost every day on a consistent schedule for over 12 hours. If a fortnite kiddie is bored then chances are this fag is streaming, they know what to expect and it's mildly interesting I guess if you like watching battle royale games. He seems to have a shit personality (only seen a few clips of him raging or embarrassing himself) but he's also apparently one of the top players at his game. Of course a top player streaming the most popular meme game of the moment would have a good chance of taking off.

It's the same reason why fast food is so popular. You could research local restaurants and you might find something healthier/tastier/not much more expensive, or it could be a ripoff or shit or give you food poisoning… you could even learn to cook or make something yourself… or you could just go to a McDonalds are grab a burger that you know is going to be basically identical to any burger served at any McDonalds in the country. Some people are dumb lazy fucks who eat nothing but fast food, but everyone at least occasionally just wants to eat something and doesn't really care what it is. Likewise, some people are retarded whales who watch streamers for hours every day and give them money so they can feel like they have a friend, other people just get bored and click the neon hair man because everyone else talks about him and it's less effort than sifting through billions of youtubers or streamers trying to find something entertaining, or god forbid playing the fucking game instead of watching someone else do it.

>Pewdiepie, another example was a random fucker in the let's play community, nothing special at all about him, he was just there when bucks rolled in.

Again, same thing. He uploads a video almost every single day. You could upload ANYTHING mildly entertaining every single day and people will pick up on it. When you think about dumbass boomers flipping through TV channels when they know nothing worth watching is on (or dumbass millennials spending 15 minutes searching through the Netflix catalogue knowing damn well that it's all garbage) then it seems obvious that people will find value in something that is always there and always requires zero effort to enjoy, even if it is mediocre at best.

>>16241020

>reportedly

>a source told Reuters

Is any of this shit real? Are complete rumors news now? Is there a confirmation in this thread, or just fags jerking to the possibility of EA getting more bad PR and taking some streamer cancer down with them?

>>16242416

alright I looked almost everywhere, where the fuck can I get one of these?

>>16242477

Goes back to consistency, really. I think of it like musicians, some make maybe one or two hit songs in their entire careers while the rest of their albums are filled with shit nobody wants or cares about, while there are folks who pump out consistently good shit, and have a steady following, but never truly "Make it" aka sucked enough kiked cock, or make hit singles but it's really about putting out shit that has effort in it, and constantly making a little dent each time.

There are walls people hit, sure, but each day they make something, they slowly climb up it.

>>16242415

>MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS JUST TO PLAY A VIDEOGAME and maybe say nice things about it

Cunts with millions of followers are not the same as randoms with a few thousand. Also with 11 million in 3 days it would take a negligible amount of microtransactions to pay that off, even after all the shit it's gotten, twitch still has >50k viewers for it at this very moment almost all of whom are gonna be shilling for it and generating EA money till it dies off and they move onto other fads.

Don't underestimate the amount of, and retardation of normalfags.

>>16242722

Women have no standards of decency. They need to be taught some. And many of them are never taught any, which you can observe by the absurd amount of worthless hoes presenting themselves online in a particular manner. The worst part however is, that the seemingly braindead society we live in, is applauding and encouraging this degenerate behavior. The internet is the modern day Colosseum, and the crowd wants to be entertained by any means.

>>16242876

>would you share any of that money with some fag that plays videogames on twitch that may or may not be relevant in 6 months because they are that easily replacable

If that fag has millions of views it would be easy to bribe him with a few thousand dollars. On donations alone he gets enough to play many games, just sending him a copy of the game will not be enough to get him playing for sure.

>>16242955

>simply showing that email of the big ebul corporation trying to buy out the little man to his retarded fanbase and how baste&radpilled he is by not doing so?

A minor punblicity boost vs large paychecks, I wonder which most would pick?

A good deal of these fags have giveaways and shit which are usually finaced by the companies, it's a symbiotic relationship.

Equally there are plenty of streamers that stop playing games once the promo money stops coming in since there are other games they can play with equal or bigger audiences.

Why would somebody known for a game with a bigger audience play a game with a smaller audience (and hence less viewers and less money) for free?

You seem awful determined to prove that EA ain't paying people to promote shit, an established practise.

Gotta wonder why?

>>16241882

It's modern day TV, pointless shit people watch because they're retarded apes with nothing better to do. You could also draw parallels to comedians, except it's the modern equivalent where everybody sits at home and the only real interaction is to spam LOL KAPPA POGGERS. Humans cease to be individuals but instead a hivemind inside twitch chat. The organism is in complete agreement when it spams :trihard: whenever a nigger is shown on screen.

Incorrect, I've made plenty of good friends. They just happen to all be from here.

>>16243243

That sounds more depressing than not having friends to begin with. I only had friends in elementary school

These top-tier streamers make 6-700k dollars a month, with 100k subs, donations and sponsorships. I'd colour my hair blue for that kind of money, desu.

Loneliness and isolation is a symptom of a lack of overall purpose in our societies coupled with growing populations, with this setting you have no foundation to judge yourself and others by and you get people splintering into their own pet interests and pleasures, or they get rallied to a million different causes. Relationships are what happens when people have a shared directions and goals, they will not exist in a vacuum. People really aren't meant to focus on themselves this much, it's too bad the modern era is one of explosive technological growth along with the complete decimation of our understanding of what we need to function. Now there are so many competing schools of thought that it will probably be unsalvageable outside of a collapse. Turns out too many hands at the wheel get the ship nowhere, who would've thought.

Totally untrue.

>>16242544

>>16242477

It might be both of these, really. Normalfags had friends in school, and kind of fell out of the knack of making more. Hell, everyone fell out of the knack. Everyone drifted apart and their old friends changed, so they picked up a sort of replacement in Pewdiepie, the Game Grumps, Markiplier, etc.

The streamer is the friend who never changes and is always available to you by way of his youtube channel archives.

>>16243515

However I'm not bad at games. Not sure about the /v/eddit average.

>>16243479

All they need to do is say "sponsored" in the title of their stream. At a minimum if they at some point on their stream mention it, that's probably enough to dodge a lawsuit.

Sooo…. have we confirmed that any of the paid shills fucked up and didn't let people know they were sponsored or is this entire thread just about how much most of you hate streamers because they make money doing what you love and you don't?

>>16243720

>>>/tumblr/

>>16243757

>>16243755

That's what I thought. Carry on.

I heard of this thing a few years ago that streamers never talk about how much they make because they want to fool the audience- as well as knowing that deep down, they're pathetic, glorified NEETs. Most of the time they aren't self-aware to notice this fact, but if even a fragment of the topic is brought up or if it makes them remember this like some sort of PTSD shit, they'll push it away so hard in anyway they can (and its easy because they can just ban people with 1 click; or have mods that'll do it for them).

It's weird that normalfags will make fun of neckbeards or "anyone too nerdy", but they'll literally throw their dollars away to these fags just so they can say their names.

>>16243261

>I only had friends in elementary school

It makes me wonder if its because of how society changed or if it was always like this. I'll never know because I'm a literal brainlet who can't read a single page of a book anymore without being bored/tired of it.

What a fascinating point. It's like someone looked at why the Gamergate thing blew out of everyone's control hundreds of faggots doing the same general thing and decided to decentralize the advertising part of their game give it to a shitton of streamers and let them advertise it for you.

Instead of slapping full-page ads in the gaming magazines, they spent that money on these faggots. If it becomes industry standard to just throw money at streamers, it actually is going to be extremely difficult to remove that power from them. It might even be enough to prevent the industry collapse that people have been predicting for the past decade or so.

>>16243767

>I heard of this thing a few years ago that streamers never talk about how much they make because they want to fool the audience

Releasing your actual price weakens you negation positions with other sponsors. Let them guess if they make mistake it is a free profit for you. Basics of businesses.

>>16241020

The faggot is already in hot water for a lot of things, but holy shit, this reads like a bunch of faggot journoshits assblasted they don't hold much sway in shilling for a shit game, and no, it ain't illegal since a lot of these fags "disclosed" they shilled for shekels.

FUCKING KIKES BEING FUCKING KIKES PAYING KIKES TO BE KIKES HOLY SHIT

Same old.

Shroud is a kike

Ninja is a kike

Reckful is a kike

Twitch is run by kikes

>hundreds of faggots doing the same thing

>select few gain influence enough to fuck with reviews and journalism for ideals and shekels

>select few then begin to try and shove their ideologies down their throats by le downboat-ing non-kosher games and "warning" gamers to stay away from certain games/companies

I imagine it will go the same way and some Streamergate thing will pop-up in a few years.

>it actually is going to be extremely difficult

I honestly assumed it was going to be easier due to the fact that these streamers are well known, unlike game journos who relatively stay in the shadows until they are found out for the conniving jew they are. I imagine it would work like a sneaker deal for an athlete.

>do something bad or seen as bad

>people bitch about it enough to make the sponsor company worry

>sponsor company pulls their advertising deal with influencer

>viewer counts plummet due to controversy

>other faggots fall in line or lose all their shekels

Wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened, see that shit in sports all the time.

>>16243922

>>16243922

not a single one of those streamers is a nice person either.

>>16243967

:(

>>16243929

I think it'll be harder to remove them simply because they'll be continuing to build the cult of personality around themselves, and the normalfags will continue to worship them because they don't know or care about having standards. Further, instead of having to interview or vet any of their picks, the publishers could simply pick a new favorite out to replace a popular streamer. It's a hydra situation, really, where each streamer that gets removed only spawns another.

The fact that the journalists hid in the shadows was a weakness for them, because they had no support network for when the light was shone upon them, whereas the streamer has a millions-strong band of sycophants.

>>16243997

>because they'll be continuing to build the cult of personality around themselves.

Double edged sword in my opinion, its hard to change the opinions of a huge group of supporters but once it does its ridiculous how quickly they change their tune. Funny thing is, jounos are highly critical of streamers and give them shit for every little thing. Such as

<NINJA SAID 350k FOR THE MONTH WAS A JOKE

Apparently he said it jokingly but still journos are trying to tear streamers apart. A good thing in my books. Let journos expend their energy on them.

>the publishers could simply pick a new favorite out to replace a popular streamer. It's a hydra situation, really, where each streamer that gets removed only spawns another.

This could be a good thing if used correctly and ethically.

>he fact that the journalists hid in the shadows was a weakness for them, because they had no support network for when the light was shone upon them

You do have a point but if you remember they fought tooth and nail, going so far as trying to convince the public that Gamergate was a terrorist group through actual news outlets instead of what it actually was; a consumer base that was and still is seeing a decrease in quality of their favorite product due to the influence a few faggots.

You also have to remember that these guys hid in the shadows but not 100%, they were always visible it's just that not many cared to find out who they were before the fiasco. There's a reason why the initial Gamergate push stressed to try not to associate too much or at all with the budding e-celebs (that got their initial fame from GG) and other celebrities. It's harder to criticize a movement if the people supporting it are anonymous individuals. You can't pick apart someone you don't know anything about.

>>16243967

Well, at least they aren't commie loons. That's sorta what I expect from entertainers nowadays. At least these guys aren't faggots.

>>16243243

What did you expect? That's why I never got close to kids in high school, they don't truly care about you or even have a reason to care about you. They only hung out with you since it was fun, not because of some concrete value or need. Friends used to be people you could trust your life in and someone that could truly suffer for you, just as you could for them. Now, there is no need for that, values have been corrupted just as the need for others has diminished. No one needs to befriend someone else just as no one needs to care if they just stop talking to you 2 years down the line for no clear reason. The only friends you could possibly count on are those that share the same values as you, (a rarity) or those that can provide something for you just as you can provide something for them. As long as there is something you can do for a friend they can't do themselves, just as they can do something for you you can't, that friendship has 10 times more stability than that of your best friend from high school. Necessity is extremely valuable in keeping relationships, but it has to go both ways and can't devolve into being indebted to someone, or just paying for their services.

But that only matters if you can actually find someone to be your friend, I found a guy by chance in high school, but you will have to go out there and look for someone by yourself. Real social skills are some of the most underrated and underused nowadays but they aren't all that hard as long as you get good at it. Go out to the mall, the park, anywhere that you can talk to somebody and try a conversation. Even if you spill your spaghetti 24/7 and don't know what you are doing wrong, you'll eventually get used to it just by habbit of doing it. And as long as you keep at it you might even find someone with the same interests you can talk to after a long days work. Its really tough to get friends nowadays but still possible, might as well try it out before you reach 40.

>>16243976

It's just going to get worse since twitch is slowly growing a monopoly on internet video game content while youtube is getting more and more negative press. Amazon bought twitch for the long game and eventually it's going to bite every faggot who has given money to them in the ass.

They titled their streams as Sponsored so its not really illegal.

>>16241020

I mean, anyone who didn't guess this is exactly what happened is a fucking retard.

>Shills everywhere.

The only interesting thing about all of this is that this is the first time I've seen such a massive astroturfing blitzkrieg effort.

Most publishers fuck around, astroturf half assed and then run ads and build hype through the sellout games media.

This shit was like a surprise attack and it didn't let up for a whole week.

>>16244270

It's weird how normalfags watch all of these sitcoms of loving families and friends - yet, they don't try to emulate them. Or maybe that's wrong, they do emulate them, but in the wrong way. I hate bringing the guy up, but Sam Hyde broached upon it a little bit in one of his older videos.

>>16242546

>>16244270

LOL, I didn't mean that people have changed over the years, rather I'd say 100% of people are selfish and those who are "altruistic" are only so due to their own momentary feelings, potential benefit, strict education and very rarely due to their own values which still couldn't be described as objective altruism. Rather its the world that has changed drastically, not going to go on for a whole paragraph so here it is simple: Long time ago people stopped being tribalistic and formed their own civilization, but needed core beliefs as rules to maintain order and stop everything from going to shit. Most of the values we have are from back then and we still use them today, from greek to catholic values. And yet in the last 100 years or so there has been a huge degradation of values, everything from religion to the constitution has been broken down to a state unrecognizable from even 40 years ago, yet its degradation had been worse even earlier. People used to have duels over insults to someone's religion that wouldn't even be grounds to use as a family guy joke since its so obscure. Caring about core values and beliefs has been so despised and condemned in almost every medium of media and expression in the last 40 years its almost unbelievable once you start looking for it. Apathy has become the reigning value in its place, yet apathy is just emptiness, not a real replacement, and all the values pushed by cultural Marxists are at their core damaging to all forms of human relationships and behavior. Worse still, no one needs to help each other to survive, get a better quality of life or even for some subjective value anymore. You will always be able to buy something, so why become friends with someone when you can just buy a friend? Buy a worker to come fix your roof, a kid to trim your yard, a phych to listen to your problem, a streamer to laugh with, an app to show off and a website to express yourself to a hundred thousand people who will never truly listen. The state and consumerism has fucked human relations up so much (((they))) didn't even have to do much, boomers fucked us so bad due to daddy issues and pure stupidity and laziness that we might even be terminal.

Going a little long here, il have to try better next time I do posts like this, maybe with notepad and different posts like those guys on old /pol/. But what I meant to say is the world around us has changed dramatically from what it was before, and just like Winston Smith we have never know something better but know that things as they are now are wrong. Relationships no longer matter, or have any real reason to matter, and the best way to find a real friend is to find that reason to keep being friends.

>>16244649

F-faggot.

Western civilization may be possibly fucked but at least were all in this sinking ship together.

>16244733

Look at it this way, if we are fucked no matter what there is nothing we can do there is no point worrying about it, but if all of us trying hard enough is enough to save it we've already won.

Blackpillers are just faggots addicts to their feelings, its always easier to give up than try at all.

I'm going to keep playing Apex Legends because it is the only good BR game and I like Respawn, EA be damned

>>16241214

>>16244834

I stopped playing Overwatch a year and a half ago because it's fundamentally flawed due to the classes they keep adding that break the meta so hard that they have to plan redevelopment of the characters over and over, not to mention it's so chock-full of CC and particles and healing.

and such a low opinion of themselves that they think this amounts to social interaction. Although, looking at this shit they actually are doing the right thing, staying away from every other human being and isolating them at least largely contains their cancer to themselves.

>>16241036

>Also, wasn't this common knowledge?

I thought so. I thought it was known that companies pay streamers not only to play their games but also to stream their game exclusively.

Some pro player talked about this, don't remember who, that he got paid more for the exclusivity of streaming some game than the salary he got in his former team.

they were developing Titan Fall 3 until EA came out and say "scrap this shit into a battle royale game, that's where the money is" then they recycled some features from the titan fall series and pasted them over this shitty abomination (((((genre)))), its just a shitty gamemode

>and people kept playing because it was fun

normalfags and kids will play any casualised garbage that makes them fell "skilled" an "epic" by just pressing a button, why do you think MOBAS are the most popular esports genre? this game is just a bootleg Titan Fall

>>16249864

Let see how "skilled" an "epic" you would look in these games "by just pressing a button".

Post you gameplay videos.

Pro tip: you can't because you are embarrassingly bad in gaming.

There's a pale, skelly looking guy playing all the SEGA Genesis(megadrive)/SEGA CD games on twitch. He's three years in and at like 750+ games out the 1000+ games completed. dudes not even partnered but does this full-time every day for like 100 viewers. how the hell does he pay his rent like that? is this a special kind of neetbux autism? is the "retro" community rich? is this what people in maine do when there's no lobsters to catch or potatoes to plant?

(fucking oWo in my captcha, furries everywhere man)

I'm glad the industry is going over to streamera; I would take streamers over journos any day because streamers actually play games. The only streamergate that I could forsee is large scale paying other people to play while they just commentate

>>16249864

>they were developing Titan Fall 3 until EA came out and say "scrap this shit into a battle royale game, that's where the money is"

I wish I had that reaction image of that guy from the other town in The Simpsons eating that lemon.

>>16253105

You'd have to be and act like him to be that popular, right? I like who I am and wouldn't trade away myself for money, though this doesn't mean I have to live like Diogenes. Not everyone who looks down on whores is suffering through spite.

>>16253500

Pretty much. All the money in the world is no good if you can't enjoy it. Living a double life as some retarded blue haired streamer would drive me crazy.

>>16253520

If you did it in a smart way, it wouldn't be that bad. If you somehow got lucky and struck it rich on some fad, you'd just have to ride it for a few years and really lay on the "streamer" persona. Stream constantly, do the obnoxious Twitch things (facecam, calling out donors, coming up with a name for your fanbase of idiots, etc.), and land sponsorships from clueless corporations, especially if they want you to shill for some other game, since it means you'll be in on the ground floor of the next fad. Meanwhile, live frugally and put all the rest of your money in the bank, and learn how to invest it wisely. When you've got enough saved up, you're in the clear. You could stream less often and/or drop the charade and just be yourself again, or just quit entirely and live off of your nest egg.

Congrats, you've retired in your twenties and have the rest of your life to fuck off and do whatever the hell you like. For a few years' worth of becoming a soulless shill, it seems like a decent tradeoff. However, I can guarantee that a decent amount of these streamers don't have an exit strategy, and they think the gravy train is going to roll on forever. Some could parlay their "experience" into working for vidya, I'm sure, but others may be in for a rude awakening once they're no longer the flavor of the month.

>>16253601

>>16253601

You are the kind of braindead idiot that has ruined online discussion. It's been pointed out more eloquently in the past, but I'll put it succinctly here: Just because I am calling you a faggot does not mean I am using that moniker to discredit your argument. Your faggotry is separate entirely from the "argument" you are trying to make, and is instead simply something that you are.

>>16259868

So you got to the conclusion that someone is a faggot based on nothing related to his posts?

Not that I don't agree with your shitting on ad hominem retards, but you are being retarded about it yourself.

>>16259878

I wasn't talking about that anonymous specifically, as I wasn't involved in the discussion. I just sperged because I saw him say the other anon's argument was ad hominem and felt I needed to clarify it. Hence the sage.

>>16259880

I wasn't talking about specifics either. It can be applied to any situation like that. Don'' try to escape your obviously flawed words.

Any other oldfags never even supported or aware of efame streamer shit? I tuned out when mlg was popular in the 00s

I kind of agree with you, but honestly all the top niggmears have al the same style of video. Random lefunny thumbnail, quick forced overreacting, constantly talking even over the cutscene, facecam, more interested on the hottest meme rather then playing the game. Check people like Odd that play the game as it should be, so no comment no face cam, try to actually GitGud and take pwdpie with adhd style of videos

Seems to me that yes is based on luck but thereafter to either make it big or stay on top you have to be on the same style of this

>>16241020

The hype for this shit feels like it came out of fucking nowhere. What even is the appeal other than wanting to desperately be the new Fortnite? Almost every youtuber with so much of an inkling of popularity within the Fortnite community is shilling this shit.

>>16259858

"SharpiePlays" 3 years of full time streaming to Twitch people looks fucking soul destroying, that's why I'm wondering if there's good money even for small streams who do retro. Why else would you put up with babysitting a gaggle of fat gamurrrrrgirrrls, lonely neck beard and literal spergs day in and day out. Did the Mexican guy who played all the NES games get enough efame to make a living? And, look, I know I can't exactly be talking shit about being on Twitch because I lurk there to get my speed running autism fix I just wonder if fulltime dudes with under 1000 viewers even make min wage?? I don't even know what % the caster gets out of the subscriptions considering they're just 5bux to begin with. And do they even get that if they're foreign? There's some good shit in retro showing off old Taiwanese games and rare shit like that Aussie Macaw and the Italian Goati does. Even they just gets like 400 viewers, tho. I guess these dudes must have a couple fans that are "Whales"/paypigs. No company is gonna sponsor dudes playing ROMs.

i trust ninja, and even if he really took the money and didn't tell about it when playing that game, nobody really cares!

the way he is doing his livestream i like a lot, i know you guys on hatechan think this is cringy and shit, but again, nobody really cares.

i also know that some of you guys now try to tell me, the only reason a retarded npc like me would trust him and like his stream is because big big corporationpay a lot of moeny to brainwash me, so i think i would like it just because they want me to think that.

but really guys, nobody cares, i know, it is a dead meme to say nobody cares, and do not start to tell me this is just another meme made by the big big corporation to project and kill any self thinkers out there.

all you have to do is just trust him, he is a good goy

>>16262934

Handful of whales - that's how the vast majority of retro streamers make due. And by making due, I mean typically living in a squalid sweat box or ghetto while still receiving some outside support from family or a significant other. Very few retro streamers do well enough to survive off the twitch income.

People point to subs, but look at the number of gift subs that are getting given out. Even those are just a product of whales.
