People Who Stream For Money Are Ruining The Gaming Community
If you stream for money shame on you. Gaming should be a hobby not a job. You people begging for money make me sick. I don't know what's worse the people streaming for money or the idiots who donate to them?
While you're sitting on your ass fighting aliens you have little kids fighting cancer. Shame on you...

5 RepliesI like to watch streamers. I'm not much of a TV person so when I'm bored I watch streamers play pvp. I've never subscribed or donated but you are pretty out of line to say anything about the people who do and how they spend their money. Most donations are like $1 and a sub is like $5 a month. You really gonna rag on someone for spending like $10 a month of their earned money so they can support someone? And regarding the streamers. Streamers don't start off full time. They start off just streaming for fun and making YouTube videos to help people or for comedy. They do it because they enjoy it and then if they start to get popular and people start subscribing and donating they may go full time. Who wouldn't want a full time job where you just play video games? My point is. You're the ass for judging people on how they spend their money or what they do with their day.

17 RepliesFunny how you mention kids fighting cancer,have you heard of extra life? http://www.extra-life.org/ It's a charity where streamers and youtubers raise money for [b]KIDS FIGHTING CANCER.[/b] Funny how you call them greedy,when the last Extra life event raised almost 4 million dollars. http://nerdist.com/extra-life-gamers-raise-3-99-million-for-charity/ In conclusion, if you don't want to sub or donate,you don't have to. Many,many streamers believe that a follow is all you need to do. I don't see why you're getting so worked up over other people subbing or donating,it's their disposable income. They want to support the streamers so that they stream more. No one is forcing you.

Edited by Rek: 8/2/2015 10:28:26 PMI stream for fun. Never ask for donations and never will. That's up to whom ever wants to. I appreciate a follow over a donation any day of the week. I don't look at this as a part time job, but as a way to meet/interact with new people. It's a hobby when it comes down to it for me. On the other hand, I have seen some (not many) streamers practically beg/force their viewers to donate. That is just ridiculous and shouldn't be accepted. Full-time streamer or not, a viewer should not be obligated to throw money at their screen (ha get it?). The views alone when partnered bring in money from ads, subscriptions as well. Just my opinion.

1 Replywhy are you on the forums when you could be donating all your money to charity? Thats why you have it right? Streamers stream for fun and eventually gain popularity. If they get paid then good. We pay hookers and strippers money for basically nothing useful. Just because we have problems in the world means we cant have fun? Okay

3 RepliesIdiots that actually donate are the ones who should be made fun of lol. Like How pathetic to donate to a overacting idiot guy gamer or a girl gamer with big boobs(that probably sucks at the game) that you're hoping to impress lol beyond pathetic.

4 RepliesWould love to stream and play eveyday for a few hours and quit my normal job.. You're just jalous....

3 RepliesFunniest part about it is that the two diehard streamers for destiny Broman and Gothlion never have anything bad to say about destiny. Their entire "living" is based on the success of this game. Even with the new extreme changes that are coming to this game they will not criticize any part of it because destiny spoon feeds their lives. It's sad that this game with its flaws and all will never have an unbiased opinion from their mass streamers who are more than likely on Deej's and Destiny's payroll.

Gaming on the internet is basically advertising for games I'm not saying that they should get paid a lot though

i have a couple friends that do this. it has its ups and downs. for the most part, i think it is good for the people that dont have a lot of friends. these people chat in forums and put their own runs together. you dont have to donate. you can still watch and play.

6 RepliesWell although I can understand your view and points, that's like saying sports should only be a hobby and not a job.

14 RepliesOP doesn't know how much hard work has to be put into it. For every 10 minutes of video game footage captured, roughly an hour gets put into editing. Meanwhile, in my real job, I sit down, literally do nothing, take extended lunches, have a cig and coffee every hour, and go home early, super early on a Friday. And I get thanked at the end of the week for a job well done. I am... An Administrator.

12 RepliesEdited by Shadow Artiste: 8/2/2015 11:43:47 PMThis is a pretty ignorant post. Do you know about the many charity events in the streaming community that [b]raise more more for kid's suffering from cancer than you ever will?[/b] Extra Life is just one example of a charity that was used streaming to generate millions of dollars to help sick children. Have a little read about [url=http://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/25/tech/gaming-gadgets/gaming-for-charity/]charity streaming.[/url] Bump this to ruin OP's argument. Edit: [i]I just remembered No Hands Ken, a streamer who plays games like Diablo 3 and MOBA games and he has had both of his arms amputated. It's utterly inspiring to watch the support and encouragement he receives in the comments not to mention he's able to support himself financially through streaming alone.[/i]
