@Naaackers @Warchamp7 NOTHING is ever free. The question is what did Streamelements sell that kept them alive so long before they decided to bring in sponsorships... 😏

RE: StreamElements The value of something you use for free becomes apparent very quickly when it's about to be taken away. Think about all the tools you use that were free to download and use. That software doesn't maintain itself.

@IntrepidusOne @jamesbardolph it was crazy to do it like that, apex released at the peak of br, after multiple game iterations from dayzmod-h1z1-pubg-fortnite then apex, the format was refined, shadowdropping apex was genius because fortnite was going nuclear. Shadowdropping a new genre, just madness to me!

@etsKi_ @jamesbardolph then a day after the Release it was revealed in an interview with Devs that was the plan as Jake Lucky posted about and i just quote tweeted this saying "I FUCKING CALLED IT!!!!!" lol x.com/JakeSucky/stat…

Very difficult to break into a saturated market and break a status quo where you basically rely on taking gamers from other games to be successful. They play the same games for years and are set in their ways… pushing mud uphill in certain genres

@franmirabella Honestly, everything wrong with this Highguard situation is entirely on their Marketing Team, and any c-suite that was confident in the release strategy. There was a perfect storm of events that led to Apex's marketing/release success, this game needed alpha and beta releases.

This is so ignorant and reductive; a perfect illustration of the problem in games discussion. Success-gazing at every turn. The need for self-validation. If a game is good, worth checking out, or a 7 out of 10 it has NOTHING to do with success. Why do great studios go out of business, if so? Good games “fail” all the time. This is why we don’t have Titanfall 3. Also, I love this is supposed to be part of the “machine informing you.” What? Presenting Steam concurrents as a measure of game quality? What a deep look. 🙄 All this said, plenty of reporters and YouTubers are equally out of touch. Choose your poison wisely.

@zachbussey Real question is, how have they sustained for this long for free... My bet was data selling. Because the sponsorships and grabtab have been new ventures for them, and theyve been going way longer than that

StreamElements has launched a donation campaign aimed at helping the company continue offering their service for free.

@ArcRaiderAlerts thats not a good thing chief

This is exactly what the dev meant when he said that people joining a match late profit more on average in ARC Raiders. 🔥

@nigeldanson wait which viaduct? (im in the burgh) amazing photo btw

@SkySportsNews yep our own mistakes led to the loss. and united decided to do something the premier league hasnt done in years.. pot shot!! and by god it worked for them, and by god those goals where phenomental.

@MonsoonGG @mylifeaswolf absolute banger knives. ggs on the win chief

My new trophy!!!

@SteveS2597 @mokeysniper because apex didnt promote anything before release, it was all released after the embargo lifted at the peak of br's hype, with all pre-release marketing (funded by ea, not self funded) going to that creator event vs the game awards. the marketing strat is totally different

@etsKi_ @mokeysniper How do you know that all the relevant players in the scene haven't played or tested, and are under an NDA? How do you know we won't see the same push on release? You don't, you're pre-judging, because it's the in thing to do

@mokeysniper and no mans sky went silent because he spoke to much and didnt release what he spoke about, causing people to buy a game that was no where near ready. It wasnt a strategy, it was a necessety to bring sentiment back to the studio. I see neither of that in Highguard....

@mokeysniper but the apex strategy was to bring in all the massive fortnite br streamers in to play the game, and relase it and the embargo at the same time... This is NOTHING like that, we have no trust factor for the game, and being former respawn devs means nothing to greater community

@beautifullight what does the 3rd P stand for?

@ChrisBtw___ @Dexerto mans living a year behind

@Dexerto Mfs release the best game of 2024 then fuck off for 3 weeks lmfao

ARC Raiders devs have responded to streamers like Shroud and Ninja saying they have “zero control” over cheaters “The team was on vacation. The patches will come soon enough, you will see!”

@Pijinnn_ I had to kill 4 solos, who waited till I finished her last night and tried to steal my loot. Actual rats the lot of them 🤣

Goodmorning to everyone EXCEPT those who grief teams during the Queen fight in Arc Raiders.

@ashurvok Enjoy!! Make sure to try Buko Salad, Ube Ice cream, and Halo halo while you are there!

@vicious696 And here's me listening to old American swing from the 30s and jazz from late 50s-60s as my daily work music 😂

TBH the question should be who doesn't listen to music from the 60s to 80s? Gimmie artists using real instruments and their unfiltered voices vs some of the stuff they try to pass off as music in 2025

@MEESHUNO this shot is so perfect, absolute chefs kiss
