I don’t know who Datto is, a streamer I guess but I don’t watch them, at all, for any reason. I’ll figure things out on my own, in my time.
The problem with trusting any one streamer or group of them is they will
ALL think similarly. It’s called groupthink. Their objective will always be as to how the game can benefit them and increase their subscribers. I do NOT think that is always healthy for the game.
It’s my belief Bungie would be better off by having their summit at GuardianCon. Make the streamers, the rest of us also, come to them. Let them hear it from we gamers. Instead, they set up Bungie employee autograph tables in the convention center.
It’s all about priorities. We gamers are NOT the priority for Bungie. Also, my concerns are unimportant to the streamers bc I will never sub them, and they know it, so why do they care what I think.
meh, it is what it is.

You have the wrong guy. That’s not my quote. Difference is my belief that streamers care about their subs more than the game, is proven by the number of streamers that left this game during CoO. They all did, they ran to Fortnite, then RDR2, even up through CoD Blackout, etc... Pretty much all of them, INCLUDING the aforementioned Datto. https://www.vg247.com/2018/01/22/top-destiny-2-youtubers-and-twitch-streamers-are-moving-away-from-regular-destiny-content/ Streamers care about one thing, and one thing only: their subscribers. I’m not saying this is bad for them to approach their job in this manner. What I AM saying is their interests are biased, and biased towards them becoming more popular. Regardless of THIS game’s future or health.

[i]Whoosh[/i] You know what's a really great way to kill your streaming audience? Playing an unfun game. Basically for your complaint to be valid you have to believe everyone involved is an irrational actor, which just isn't something I'll do.

[quote]You know what's a really great way to kill your streaming audience? Playing an unfun game.[/quote] You just proved my point. A Streamer’s audience is more important than anything else. It shouldn’t be that way, we gamers should be Bungie’s priority, not a particular/chosen streamer’s audience. I’m MUCH more sympathetic to regular gamers than anybody’s streaming business. It’s my belief we average gamers FAR outweigh, numerically, all the streamer’s subs combined. Has nothing to do with rational or irrational. Fun is subjective, so is “unfun”. Personally, watching ANYBODY else play a video game that I can play is about as “unfun” as could ever happen. But, to each their own. And I’m not making a complaint, I’m stating the obvious, wrt streamers. Their pocketbook is more important than the game. Streamer’s will do and/or say anything to increase their subs. Anything. Even if it’s detrimental to Bungie and DestinyTheGame. Datto proved it, among others, when extremely toxic comments were made about Bungie on twitter feeds and they quit Destiny.
