I'd suggest streamers like Zeno, Pohx, and Ziggyd.

Giving up half your potential viewers doesn't seem particularly parasitic to me. At least Kripp is just doing a straightforward raffle instead of sub-focused b.s.

How about give god damn keys to real players instead of random hearthstone Kripp minions. Fuck sakes

Can you rationally argue for why you consider him to be a parasite given that Chris acknowledges that Kripp has done a lot for the game?

Someone with little to no interest in the game's long term success was given a beta key plus 5 more -- seems a bit parasitic to me. Anyway, my opinion of him is not important.

Kripp cares about PoE more than any other game,he always promotes it and talks good about it,he just doesn't enjoy playing it anymore.Except for the developers,no one has ever done (or ever will do) as much for this game as he did.

And yeah,it's really parasitic for him to lose viewers just to get PoE on the first page of twitch for 2 days,what an asshole !

As is the case with everything Kripp plays, he plays it because he likes it. The reason Kripp gets such a large viewership with pretty much any game he plays is because (recent plg-related advertising aside) I don't feel like he is saying shit he doesn't necessarily believe to protect the feelings of the creators.

Kripp's influence on the success of PoE is secondary probably only to the developers themselves, and that continues to be the case regardless of the fact that he hasn't played it properly in over a year.

What does that say about the other streamers?

The reality is, people like what they like; you probably don't like his streaming style, and thats fine. But calling him parasitic? He is one of very, very few non-parasitic streamers around.

Kripp didn't want anything, Chris gifted those. At least that's what he said yesterday's stream.

If it is true, I will quit game. GTFO GGG gifting extra keys to streamers.

That streamers would get extra keys to give away, was even announced.

We'll be speeding up the timer over time and implementing additional ways for people to get access (fan giveaways, maybe some in-game stuff, etc).

Yes and No.

Lets be honest. He HAD done a lot for the game a very long time ago. The new influx of players are now coming on their own accord.

So NO he has done nothing for the game in a good year or so (Not sure the exact amount of months could be longer).

He is a simple guy who simply follows the population Wow, D3, POE, Random Crap, Back to Wow, Back to D3, BACK to POE and then HS HS HS as usual.

The ONLY reason he is playing now is to ttract more players for the game once again BUT he has doneNOTHING for the game for a very long time now.

Marketing at its best.
