    Been interesting watching streamers quitting their current games to jump immediately onto Deadlock, some even in tears pretending to be doing anything more than abandoning the communities that built them for anything other than the dollar signs they have in their eyes.

      Imagine someone actually feeling bittersweet about moving on to something new for fun and/or for the benefit of their career.

      Literally why does the Internet have to be filled with “they can’t possibly just be good people making a decision that isn’t inconsequential, FAKE” comments like this?

        Personally, I don’t care as don’t follow streamers myself. But seems like the right thing to do is to not abandon the people that built you up to begin with because something shinier shows up. Make a transition over time to something new, sure. But when it’s sudden like this, it’s hard to see it any other way.

          So either you’re lying here or lying in your first comment. I’m guessing you’re here to troll. Perhaps you just got dumped by a girl who’s success you think you’re responsible for.

            lol, no. The only time I spend watching streamers at all is when there are drops for a game I want and I just mute it and leave it in a tab, but thanks.

      streamers don’t owe playing a single game forever to their viewers. If you like the streamer you can follow them to another game, or you can find someone else to watch. It’d be very strange to expect someone to play to not play the game they enjoy most just because you subscribe to them on twitch, especially when you can stop subscribing whenever.

      … What? Dedicated streamers is a bizarre concept, playing different games is normal and good

          So, when I quit my job for something better, I imagine you think I owe my old employer for something somehow?
