Stop using streamers as your only source of feedback on game changes and direction

The sheer number of times you’ve given all expenses paid secret behind the scenes tours and private demos to streamers is ridiculous. If follower numbers mattered, Joshua Block has over 5 million followers so maybe he should be flown into bungie HQ instead of your streamers who flaunt their 1 million followers as if that’s actually something. If a belligerent alcoholic autist can have more followers than all the top destiny streamers combined, then maybe it’s time to reconsider what internet clout really means. Maybe influencers really aren’t that important ?? Maybe people really don’t want harder and harder content, even less power fantasy, or worst of all shorter time gated content like events that only last 1 or 2 weeks long at max. Iron banner worked being only 1-2 weeks since it came multiple times a season. At least once a month. Solstice only comes once a F-ing year and you think only 2 weeks is enough to celebrate it?

  • This doesn't read to me like OP is hating on streamers, it reads like they're frustrated that Bungie is listening to streamers at what he feels is the expense of the community. To be fair to Bungie, somewhat: In terms of sheer quantity, I doubt anybody gives Bungie more feedback than the streamers do, on a person by person basis, I mean. Like, I've never made a half hour video discussing my frustrations with the game, but streamers do that five days a week. Thing is, I don't always agree with the streamers anyway, I like 'em, but I don't dote on them. Streamers are the top 1% of players, at least in terms of play time, they aren't really representative of the larger community; they're influencers, they're influential, but that doesn't mean they speak for us. I think Bungie could benefit from polling the community, asking us what we think, maybe even front loading it into the game engine so it's not just forum goers and email checkers who see it. Ask about things like difficulty, loot rewards, light levels, game direction, favorite activities, whatever. I don't know how influential streamers actually are for developers (Who was asking for matterspark?), but it might do Bungie some good to solicit opinions from the community. They asked about Warlock class fantasy, that's a start!
