This is hilarious

Man i remember times when GGG devs used to post on reddit in bug threads.
I remember Chris answering things on these exact forums.
Now its all protected mode reddit + moderated forums.
Most poe youtubers and streamers are paid league by league to promote the game so they cant exactly criticize anything either.
Echo chamber all day baby

This is a pretty huge allegation. Where's your proof?

You must be new, don't you remember streamer queue?
It was put in place because GGG paid content creators to promote the game..
What about poe2 twitch event with pet for subs?
Bread crumbs are there buddy, and they ain't exactly crumb sized...

I honestly thought streamer queue was a meme until I looked it up. Pretty wild

Seems like you use the forums more than you play the game. And I apologize but to everyone else all data, except your joined date, would make you appear like a troll account.

People can see supporter packs and it seems like those with the least support for the company over the years have the lowest desire for work/life balance of a game company.

I'm in the industry. A lot of people had taken off the extra 2 days to have extended vacation until Monday. EG it is still Christmas/New Years break right now. Most of them likely haven't even returned yet, and will only address critical issues.

"Chris confirmed it on the podcast with Asmongold that it was a mistake giving streamers priority and would not do it going forward."

Sure, streamer queue was a thing. That isn't what the poster claimed though.
Poster specifically claimed streamers are PAID "league by league" and "cant exactly criticize anything"


Claim 1: "paid league by league"
Evidence: none


Claim 2: "cant exactly criticize anything"
Evidence: none
Counter-evidence: dozens or more YT vids and Twitch VoDs where streamers both praise and critique the game (and there are many personalities in there that aren't holding back from critique).

Oh yes, this is exactly why 20+ people started posting same time 'magic find' issue.
Very critical of the game :)
