This is scary, maybe not 'terrifying', in the sense that a influencers are being asked to play another content which acts as noise not for their game and rather another, even if the streamer chooses not to, it also could be not great for FFXIV if these people are making FFXIV look bad while doing it. Overall it could just be not great lol.

    Yes I agree people can split time, but if a youtber who has a set schedule that normally posts specifically 90% WoW videos is being asked to switch I think it's quite likely / expected that players are asking for, and envisioning, a full stop switch over (especially in the context of these content creators who complain about WoW frequently, and more than in the past). It's some creators saying "parts of this ship are aflame" and a bunch of viewers saying "JUMP SHIP, DO IIITT". I really don't think that's the ideal PR situation you'd want for your game lol.
    Not necessarily -- as I said the FF14 YouTube and Twitch communities are tiny. It wouldnt make sense from a monetary aspect to fully jump ship or else you would cut your profit intake.

    Like I use the PinkWardLoL example -- hes streaming FF14 for only 86 people, when his LoL streamers are much, much larger.

    Well I was speaking from the viewer perspective, of course as a content producer you've to decide what gets you the bed to sleep on at night. It's quite possible you can get cornered into a particular content, and you've to make losses or just grind out the same stuff over and over lol.
