No Streaming: A bad decision by SQE

[Soda]

Am I the only one that thinks the whole "no streaming during early access / open beta" is actually doing more harm than good to the game? I feel like streaming is a huge way of advertising for your game, and this decision to constantly keep streamers out of FFXIV is illustrating Square Enix's lack of understanding in this area.

Considering the almost complete lack of advertising in North America, I'd at least hope something like streaming would be allowed to get word out for the game. I'd understand if the game was awful, but it isn't. I guarantee it would be building a lot of hype on streamer channels if it was allowed, so it's really sad to see that it won't even have the chance. Just my two cents.
