Are the developers of XIV out of touch?

and the difference from a forum goer is...? I said they use them to guage, not that they take them as stone cold truth.

Also why not Klopsgg aka laylabell or frosty? It's that a personal bias against mrhappy? There are plenty more of them you know? I made this point yes but I'd like ppl not to start a witch hunt

@kisaitenshi props for someone stating what exactly is journalism

I think the difference is that streamers do make money of FF14 while normal forum posters dont and just play it as a game they can drop. I am not saying that Mr Happy or other famous youtube streamers would only praise the game but I am also not sure if they would truly be negative about it. Be too negative and they could lose invitations or interview rights with SE. But again I am not saying that its like that just that this could be the case for some.

And even if streamers have thousands of viewers still would not make them a good way to get info (and I know you said that it was not your view either) because they still dont know if people simply watch it because of the person or because they like the content.
