Was the twitch scam intentional or unintentional

yeah well tough shit.. people play the game for different reasons.

everyone has their own and nobody should judge just to prove a point in a cyber space.

Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words.

poe0.2/10. Nuff said.
The "chance" to not get something after watching the entire stream is less than 1.8%. Read that over and over until you can understand it. Therefore the majority of viewers getting zero drops means the promotion was a scam/odds wrong/was bugged and ggg were not honest about it and still arent
Watched whole stream, no drops here.

Maybe next time.

your 1.8% "chance" is called gamblers fallacy. doesnt matter how long you watch you have the exact same chance every 5 minutes.

Sorry but fuck those ppl watching it for "the lootz". I hope they get nothing .. like wtf ?!


Is not about the loot , who probably will be some red eyes or footprints that will never be used anyway. Is about the people's perception of being deceived by the company after being promised they will get a Twitch drop if they watch for 5 hours on average.


No one was promised anything, you should really work on your reading skills. They said on average it would take 5.5 hours to get a drop, but do you know how averages and probability works? In that 5.5 hours some will get no drops, some will get 1, some 2, some 10, but it all averages out. You weren't deceived, you weren't lied to, you were just unlucky and now want to cry about it because you feel entitled to free stuff that was never guaranteed to you to begin with.

As others said gamblers failicy but even if it was not that there were 80,000+ people watching most of the day Sunday and more on Saturday.
If we take that 80K *1.8%=1440 people got nothing if you watched the whole time. And that is on the low end. So yeah, sorry about your luck but it's not just you.
Plus they are still handing them out, they tweeted they would announce when they've all been handed out and that has not occurred yet. So you still could get something, I hope however after all your bitching you do not get anything.

Yup it's essentially taking a 100 card deck with 98 spades and 2 diamonds and every 5 minutes the deck is reshuffled and you are told to draw a card. You only win if you pull a diamond
there has to be more inot this.

i watched first night with 2 fullscreen stream, offial at 1% volume and 160p, got a drop.

second night i had official stream at 160p and unmuted on Edge(volume 0% from windows), windowed and in the background and watched some other stream on Chrome = no drops.

so maybe Twitch ignores non-fullscreen "viewers" as they ignore muted ones?
d:-D*

0.75% of people reigstered for rewards? Yeah that isn't true or something very wrong was going on. There are screenshots of support admitting twitch drops are bugged. Yet instead of being open with the community that it was bugged, they "doubled the droprate" because they knew the majority of viewers were only there for a chance at loot. Support on the second day changed story to everything is working fine.

This was obviously a ploy to pad out stream views the entire way through. However, ggg's actions make this look like an intentional scam based on them lying or not being completely open in order to not lose views. Can someone from ggg please respond to the huge overwhelming number of upset fans that feel cheated and manipulated?


If GGG wanted to scam us, they'd come up with something better. Sometimes things don't work as expected.

EDITED: I take it back. I read more info and GGG may very well have intentionally scammed us. Hopefully this is something Chris Wilson was unaware of and would not have approved of.

Nah man I feel entitled to judge you just as you feel entitled to get some useless loot by having a tab open while playing minecraft and then have the audacity to complain about rng ....
I agree with I_NO here for a change.
