With great suggestions like this Square Enix should hire you as a Human Resources advisor.
I laughed at the "long-time MMO veteran and has great insigh....." oh damn it, I took the bait didn't I??
What was the name of that game that was in development hell for decades because the game designer kept wanting to redo the engine and add all kinds of stuff to it? And then they finally released it and it completely tanked? That's how I'd imagine hiring this kid as a consultant would be.
This "kid" is thirty, but I imagine it would go something like that. He has said time and again that he has no interest in being a game designer, so I don't know why people keep wishing for that to happen. Anytime you ask someone to do a job that they explicitly stated they don't want to do, it doesn't go well. Streamer and game designer are two very different jobs.
Has the guy actually done or said anything that makes you think he'd be good at being an advisor? Like playing games for a long time doesn't turn you into an expert any more than watching a bunch of movies does. Have you seen movies made by movie 'critics'? They're all universally awful.

Maybe Preach Gaming will try FF14 too. :)
