Do you think zenimax payed every big streamer to promote their product prior elsweyr launch!!!

Ozazz

Nixxiom did a very positive early review of the necromancer class, recently.

Although I am not sure if Nixxiom could be negative about anything even if he wanted.

IIRC Nixxiom stated that he wouldn't be paid and according to Twich TOS he would have tell if he got paid and it would be shown in his Stream.

Asmongold is probably playing off-screen. I wouldn't be surprised if he streams again in a few weeks with a fully leveled account.

100% sure they did, never seen any complainig about poor performance that should raise red flags straight away. That is why I don't watch streamers nor support them anymore...

For Elsweyr specifically I don't know as I didn't watch any, but they do have sponsored streams. YOGSCAST for example have been a known sponsored stream for a while.

It's no secret that Bethesda and many other big companies do promotional streams to try and make their games more visible.

Let's just never have anything as bad as that Rick and Morty FO76 thing again, I think I injured my face with how much I cringed at that.

it is most common for big developers or publishers to try to buy influence through online popular personalities these days as to increase their revenue rather than actually fixing their product.

I could provide many know examples but rather not to save the time, just thought people should be aware of these corrupt careless manufacturer!

That might be because most streamers do not play on pcs and connections from 2010 due to the requirements of their streaming.

The streamer ESO does not get paid for streaming Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

No wonder, he seems to be quite honest about serious issues.

To be fair, Zenimax (ZOS and Bethesda) pays a lot of money for advertising. Super Bowl ad, Elsweyr ads ran during every commercial break on Sky in the UK during the last season of GoT, custom twitter icons for games etc.

Ahahahahahha what an idiot statement eh? Some people must be in denial in their constant need to defend this game. Might be unable to read all the topics on this forum of people with beast computers and good connection that have bad performance. Or all the topics about issues caused by crap servers...
Yea it's all because of people's poor pcs and internet... What a Joke!

Do you want a prize or what? Or do you live assuming things all the time? How can you draw those conclusions?

What if I tell you I play on a 400 megabit down and 200 mega bit up connection and my pc rig is an i9 9900k overclock to 4.9 ghz watercooled by kraken x72, 32gb ram gksill tridendz 3200mhz, nvidia 2080 and still the game is umplayable at times, how about that smart **s?

Alcast

Fairly EASY to spot when someone is payed.

you will see #ad #sponsor in the title. So if that is not present then they did not get payed.

BomblePants

They are a business.... so what if they did?

/shrug...

Ixilith

Havent heard complaints of poor performance? Lol.

Every streamer has said the servers are bad, every streamer has made a note of the bugs in the game currently. Every streamer memes on the server performance.

Here’s the key though NONE of that is to do with elsweyr, u can’t ask about a expansion launch and want a review that includes a 4 year issue in the game.

They aren’t being paid, they clearly love the game, the fact of the matter is they aren’t going to give u issues that have effected the game before and after elsweyr when u ask how is the expansion,

Just for note.

I run ESO at 100fps and 50-70 ping. (Cryodill zergs always will have their issues) so the problems aren’t affecting 100% of the playerbase either .

But a lot of streamers do say the only downfall in eso is it’s server performance and ZeniMax lack of communication when telling us how they are intending to fix the issues.

The major thing your missing is streamers like alcast play pve where the server performance is ALOT better. So yeah if your going to ask them the problems they aren’t telling you what’s going on in cryodill because they don’t play it.

However gang fangrush was openly calling content broken when he was annoyed with Necro, he actively called out bugs when he found them. And does talk about server performance. Kristopher also has several times gone over ESOs only drawback is the fact they won’t fix the performance issues.

And several others. Pvp streamers tend to call out the issues as the issues rarely affect the pve side of the game.

Unless you can prove it, then no.

Shroud constantly complained about performance. He said the game is great with fun combat but the performance kills the enjoyment.

And streamers have to put it in their title if the game they play is sponsored.

I think it would be fair to say that you're talking outta your big ***.

Or maybe they're hiding it, which would also be illegal by FTC standards.

Bhaal5

Not pay but send them a nice big copyright infringement and ban them (more so their content).

Tigerseye

It is a well known fact that games companies generally do this, so I see no reason to think otherwise in this case.

Exactly. So why would they hide it?

Caff32

They did it for the last chapter release so they probably did it again but why does it matter?

tgrippa

Gina told me I would be getting $100k to promote the game to my regular streamer.

Still waiting for my monies.

Because this is 2019 and companies paying others to advertise their games is evil.
