    So are people suddenly pretending that the post EW patches have been perfect?

    Because thats the language Im seeing of folk who have have such a chip on their shoulder of content creators discussing and criticizing EW post patches.

    Just the other day on that Zepla EW video I saw a comment thread of people saying while they agree on post EW being lackluster theyll actually go against what she said just because they dont like her.

    What a precious joke. People are now sabotaging their own feedback just because an influencer you dont like shares that same opinion.

    The problem is not the content creators but the people posting it, look I don't watch them or listen to them period. Their opinions don't carry any more weight than any other players opinion. Have a conversation EW wasn't up to some people standards as an expansion fine it's been discussed in many threads. Instead of making a new thread about another content creator keep it to one thread. At this point I think there are people certain people shilling for these content creators because what do you know it generates them money$$$. Just stop thinking this isn't just free advertising for them because that is what it is.

    Except, they do. They demonstrably do.

    People have to realize there is no divine authority that intercedes in the world to make every single persons opinion equal, 'valid' or have the same weight.

    In reality, your opinion only has power if you can persuade other people that it's true, and content-creators have an incredibly obvious advantage in this respect, as they have a fanbase that is primed to receive and spread their opinion. Of course, there's also the fact that this game allows them to meet directly with its producer and share their concerns.

    Couldn't have said this any better myself. It is why they host media tours afterall and not just for game reviewers. The streamers basically act as ambassadors for our representation. What they say and think matters because SE will assume their followers feel the same.

    weather people like it or not it is a very critical part of the games marketing and SE will in fact pay attention if the popular community content creators are not singing the games praises

    It's regrettable as it feels like any nobody can just ramble in front of a camera and if they are likeable enough they can influence a certain segment of the population...but I don't really think traditional "games journalism" and their reviews for influence were any better.

    Just think for yourself is a pretty good rule of thumb.
