Related to the post about scaring casuals away. SDS has a toxic top streamer problem.
-
My view is the entirety of the YouTube streamer "industry" is that it's a total fraud. Low rent videos with poor production quality and the people doing it start to fall in love with themselves. SDS seems to be chasing these people and they are the last folks on earth who earn special treatment.
It's even worse when these "pseudo professional gamers" start to influence how the game code is written and executes. Most commonly this makes the game too difficult for people who purchase video games to have fun with some of their free time at home. Such people with true life obligations don't have the time to obsess about video games to overcome huge hurdles.
Of course these streamers and "pseudo pros" love the game's difficulty being ratcheted up because they think it improves their odds of success. But for SDS it drives away so-called casual gamers. It reduces sales volume and gives the game a bad name.

They don’t have a top streamer problem they have a gutless coward dev problem. They’ll ban people on the forums for calling them out though. But those streamers make them money. We do not…..
Evidence? I've never seen someone get banned on the forums for criticizing SDS. (as far as I know) I get it, SDS sucks, but pipe down a little bit.

If they have it is because of how they criticized them, meaning the person probably stepped over the line

@Player99_MLBTS they have banned me for a few days twice this year. So there is that.

Why is there so much dislike amongst players in this community? The players hate many of the streamers, and the streamers dont seem to like each other. Ive been in other video game communities (speedrunning, sports, etc) and it isnt like that.
This community loves to hate on the elite players as tryhards and sweats. You should revere those guys and praise their abilities - when they turn on that perfectly located sinker, you should be worshipping them, not slandering them. Everyone here wants to complain nonstop about cheating and exploiting - but most of the elite players aren't good for that reason.
This game particularly has a "poor vs. rich" problem - where one side cant like the other. The onliners cant like the offliners, the new players think the old players are conspiring against them, and anybody whos making stubs must be a [censored].

Well, there's the evidence right here.

"You should be worshiping them"? Really?
-
@palmerjones_PSN I wouldn’t say worshipping but it’s clear there is a good enough amount of people who just simply hate on those elites for being better.
-
@Apolloz_99_MLBTS we hate on them because sds caters to them. If they never took away the online programs there would be less hate. The elites can get the rewards faster and make more stubs which is perfectly fine. While the rest of us can grind for them. Make it more fair for the entire player base. Obviously if you are better at the game you get those faster. = more stubs. The way they had it was perfect two years ago.
That and if you are that great at a video game. Maybe its time to get a life.

You asked and answered your own question, though I wonder if you realized it at the time. Perhaps if you figure out the logic of that point, you'll be a better person for the experience and wisdom gained!

The people who are really good at this game should absolutely be hailed as heroes. They put in countless hours being miserable, until they succeed at this fairly impossible game. Instead of congratulating them and understanding their pain, most people here seem to resent them.
-
I don’t think it has anything to do with their skill levels. It’s that the people who are insanely good at this game just happen to be toxic, glitch exploiting, 3rd party stub selling, playing on other people’s accounts, complainers. It’s the community. Other games aren’t like this.
-
...heroes?
-
For me, this level of toxicity all started with the WBC mini seasons “pack-a-palooza” glitch. SDS promised retribution and has done nothing. Those streamers mocked SDS, dared them to do anything about it, yet not one has been punished in any fashion and, yet we still get SDS sponsored twitch packs from watching them (That implies that what happened is OK with them)
So, there is a massive amount of anger in the Community. It would greatly decrease if SDS addressed that one particular issue.

Not finding the connection between my experience I shared with a top player along with their negative behavior during tbe tournament.
They are toxic and also good at the game. Both are true.
I would never worship anyone, let alone a video game player haha.
-
@WolfgangMLB_XBL yeah I dont think anyone is going to idolize someone for being good at a video game. Most of these so called great heroes are using some kind of thing to their advantage. Zen cheats, not many people are that incredibly great at this game without some kind of advantage the rest of us do not have or know about.

Imagine worshipping a guy like Frosty who plays 18 hours a day and has his mom fight battles for him against other streamers! Heroes lol gtfoh

I'm with ya. I'll save the hero title for those guys who run into burning building looking for ppl who didn't get out.

He then loses game 1 of the tournament yesterday and immediately blamed it on Ranger Suarez being glitched and his opponent playing on McDonald's Wi-Fi, then 2nd game loses internet and immediately blamed it on SDS for giving him horrible internet connection, this after claiming that he has the best internet going 1 gig up and down

Utterly baffled by some of the posts in this thread.
There's a punchline coming soon, right?
