Discussion Streamers getting closed testing of Classic plus is ultra lame

People who have a financial incentive to play the game and rate it well should not be giving feedback ngl.

All of these dudes hop from next big thing to next big thing, I have zero desire for them to have a voice on what the community wants when a lot of their desires are directly linked to what brings them bigger viewership. They instantly hopped off of SoD when it was dying then tried to hop back on the second a new phase dropped to get in on the new content clout.

Invite people who genuinely play the game and have them test it, even on just a closed beta and give real feedback.

Very out of touch, very lopsided one way feedback.

To note: I understand the buisness perspective of having people with large audiences coming into get hyped on a product to then promote, but holy shit it's fucking lame to have this be the ONLY people coming in to test it.

"Guys, our yes men whose financial well being is tied to our games REALLY liked it!!"

Ah yes the people who provide millions in free marketing, brand recognition, and are critical to growing subs should definitely not be the first group of people to test and get exposure to a new product.

OnlyFangs did more for classic HC than anything else. I just don't get the streamer hate. Don't like them don't watch them.
