What is ZiggyD's official relationship with GGG?

1. Who Cares
2. He plays Diablo 3 as well, and quite a lot also.

Why would they tell you any contract details between them?

That would be a bad business decision.

While that is true, typically GGG has been a transparent and honest company from what I have seen.

I was just hoping that perhaps they can share what their professional relationship is (if any) and relieve some confusion?

I'm not the first to wonder about this relationship.

The phrase, 'none of your business' comes to mind. This is like asking someone who they voted for or how much money they earn.

For once, Dirk, you are spot on.

The things people concern themselves with...

Simply amazing. ZiggyD produces quality videos covering PoE, with many useful tutorials, as well as commentary and analysis of new content, and some malcontent comes along demanding to know the details of how GGG utilizes this talented individual to advance and promote the game. Not out of curiosity, but with an attitude that it is somehow "unfair."

Yeah, OP, why'n'tcha make your OWN YouTube channel, work hard to build up an audience with an informative, useful, and personable program, and then see if GGG finds a working relationship useful?

Or, y'know, keep posting this sorta crap. 'Cause heaven knows, we dun have enough like it. =>[.]<=

He refues because he likes playing other games too.

And I like how you're asking this about ZiggyD and not about all the streamers who get given microtransactions by GGG to attract more viewers.

Neat.

Lots of misinformation in this topic.

- He refused an official job with GGG since he wanted to continue his youtube/streaming career. Nothing to do with playing other games.

- He creates these sneak peaks without being paid. This saves GGG valuable time of making such a video while giving Ziggy exclusive content. It's a symbiotic relationship.

Yes and in his streaming career, he plays other games.

If he were hired by GGG, he wouldn't be allowed to be streaming those other games.

What GGG has or has not offered, and what ZiggyD does or does not accept, is really none of (y)our business.

Ziggy does a great job on his patch teaser videos. I will happily watch them whatever the deal is.

ZiggyD refused the job offer so the arranged that GGG gave him access to the ALpha so he can make teaser videos. I'm not sure if he is allowed to stream the ALpha or not.

Basically GGG wanted him to make videos for them and he's doing that, no preferential treatment he just supplies something they want and now they get the best of both worlds.

They rub each others nipple
