[quote]Destiny has kinda been on thin ice for a little bit, so no matter who they choose to host someone will have a problem with it.[/quote] Exactly my point. A huge criticism is that Bungie has been favoring "streamable content" at the expense of the casual player. So to go out of your way, to look outside Bungie, and bring in a streamer (and a sore loser at that) to host is beyond bad optics. Sticking with someone internal like Deej, who normally hosts these streams, would have been way better.

I mean to be fair he is one of, if not the biggest content creators for destiny out there. And while I don’t really like his personality he has informative content and he didn’t do an awful job at hosting. But yeah they probably should’ve gotten someone else. Also, is it necessarily streamable content they’re moving towards or more harcore/ mmorpg-like content that they’re moving towards. Sure mmorpg content happens to be very streamable, but is that a bad thing? Bungie is self publishing now and catering towards your most hardcore/ loyal players over casuals to make more money makes sense. I’m sure they’re not intentionally changing the game to weed out the casuals, but to appease the more hardcore. Which again, is this bad? What’s wrong with favoring the people that play the game more over people who play less?

I never said he did a bad job hosting (which he did, but that's besides the point). And yes, content in the past has been catered to streamers. Remember Niobe Labs? After something like that, you would think Bungie would try to at least shake the image, even if it's not the real goal. But instead they go and pick, as you said, one of the biggest Destiny streamers out there. Who threw a hissy fit over not getting world's first for the newest raid no less. And yes, I do somewhat like the new direction in terms of more RPG elements, but it is hard core, where I really like Destiny for the gunplay. Is pushing casuals aside for more hardcore players a bad thing? Depends. Can Bungie attract enough of them, and milk enough money out of them, to keep going? Maybe. But if that answer ever becomes "no", they're in trouble...

Honestly if you like the game support it, if the issues affecting you and only you feedback is an option and if you are the only one with said issue don't expect it to be dealt with. In that case don't support them. Streamers and content creators play this game because they enjoy it, if they didn't they'd stop. If you don't want to support the people who want the game to live by making it their living thats fine too, but accusing them as the issue( Niobe labs wasn't just a streamers wet dream) (escalation was also because of them and bungie made it easier even though it didn't need it) is ridiculous.
