How were streamers determined for the Twitch Chocobo campaign?

Mr.Happy got it so it's not all bad. But sad day cause Work2Game didn't make the list. They should've been on it.. it's all they DO. But atleast Happy got on there.. I'd been pissed if they didn't put literally the biggest creator on there. Mr. Happy. Love him or not he literally does XIV content like everyday on Twitch and Youtube with a podcast that's been going for years. :c

I’d rather a twitch streamer with 1 viewer have gotten that spot over Mr.Happy xD just my opinion tho but yeah i see your overall point. It just seems like they wanted the most well known faces and didn’t actually take time to look at people who deeply care about the game or who spend a majority of their time working on it. All i can say is...money talks evidently. I just hope this attention gets more money to the game and isn’t used to shill money to their other projects. Who am i kidding tho, gotta fund the flopvengers trinity games

Honestly, all these streamers crying over not being chosen is sad. People saying oh I have been growing my channel for x amount of time and I was not chosen etc etc, then complain at other streamers from wow being chosen instead. Ofc they will take some other streamers, to get people who don't normally play the game to see the game! People with bigger audiences again take priority due to more people watching. And those bigger streamers worked just as hard for their audience.

SE is not obligated to boost your stream just because you stream their game. It is not for them to make being a streamer a full-time job for you, it's a campaign meant to reach more people and give a boost to some of their content creators which is more than other companies do. They can't just make it open free for all for every ff streamer because who knows what they will say or have said in the past etc and associate with the company. Get over yourselves, you are not entitled to a thing.

Yeah, the amount of entitlement I see on Twitter is unreal. Of course, it would be great to see more streamers being included like W2G for example. But this is not charity, this is a marketing campaign and from what I read (even from some creators) it seems like they really think the bigger streamers didn't work as hard or (probably) even harder than them to get where they are at right now. Some of them even streamed/created content only for XIV for several years and we know the XIV community doesn't care much for streamers/youtube content (hence the big player base while all the CC being small). Reading people that don't even care about the XIV streaming community getting angry about this is just ridiculous.

That being said, I do hope next time they add (a lot) more streamers to the list, or maybe just let any streamer that wants to participate apply to the event, and after the application period, SE would filter the ones that meet a certain (publicly known) criteria.

FFXIV streams are just zzz compared to real games like WoW

I saw you hate a lot against FF in multiple posts over the past few months. Why are you even here? Were your Legend titles that expensive that you cant let go?
If WoW is a "Real" Game to you, just go play that.

there was barely any BIPOC representation.

that's because it wasn't chosen based on someones ethnicity, gender, and whatnot. They were picked because of their follower count. if you don't believe me then check it:

Aiyanya (4.6K followers)
Anniefuchsia (258K followers)
Ashe10 (9.7K followers)
BOWIEtheHERO (19.7K followers)
Chottis (12.1K followers)

Eryn (21.3K followers)
EthysAsher (15.7K followers)

and that's just the english streams. you don't need to make everything a race issue and the fact that you're trying to make it one kinda gives off a negative impression of you. whatever though, you do you OP. Now if you excuse me i'm gonna ditch this eediat thread and go chill with my Bredrens.

I will be honest -- after watching a bit of Anniefuschia's stream yesterday, I am a bit miffed about the selections. All she relatively did was mostly AFK and do reaction videos from YouTube.

Like really? Also -- with some of the other things going on, a lot of the more present and full-time streamers for FF14 were left off the list as well.

I like the idea of the event but it was poorly executed. Every Final Fantasy Streamer should have been included in somehow. I'm happy for people that got picked but I dont understand why this couldn't done across all streamers. Have them submit a screenshot or receipt or something. Get your chocobo and there ya go. I mean they had to submit a receipt with the butterfinger campaign, why couldnt they do it like this here.

I hope they put better thought into the next event. It is so hard to established on twitch these days and this is just drowning out smaller content creators.

You can’t sub to streamers that arent partners.

I wish we could tip and subscribe to forum posters.

I would unapologetically have the worst channel available.

And has been sonic creator wonderlandwhores. :c Seriously.. how did Yuji Naka mess up SE money? :c

[Mostly_Raxus]

I don't like the ideal of giving twitch any of my money so I'll pass on this mount, would rather support a content creator directly with no middle man. but do enjoy your sweet mount everyone that feels differently!
