No. They are members of our official Stream Team, and yes, they will occasionally get exclusive items to give away during their streams to help grow their channels. We did give away some of these codes to folks who took the time to attend our community meetup last night, and players stopping by the booth. As others have said, this isn't the first time we've done this. We will likely have some codes on-hand at the upcoming gamescom and PAX conventions, too. If you can't attend an in-person convention, your best bet is to try and win one from a member of our Stream Team (these are on all platforms, too).
Edit: Also, our Stream Team members have been giving these codes out for months.

Gamescom is in Germany.
Can you at least put an orange/yellow/red/even purple Torch bug in the Crown store at some point?
Would not be remotely bothered if the pet were just a unique skin of something we could otherwise get

And that's the only occasion for us Europeans get something like this (unless we want to spend way too much money and time to go to the US), not to mention not everybody can afford to travel to Germany as well.
For someone in Oxford, travelling to London is bad enough; Germany is probably... well it's probably less stressful, except that I'd still need to go to, through or past London first.

Also, since when did we stop acting like adults appreciating the cool things that other get and joy it brings them? Instead of acting like children filled with envy and jealousy demanding access to the same toys.
Just because my friends got a cool tee shirt on vacation, doesn't mean I am going to be upset for not being able to have it for myself. I will just admire it and be glad that they like it.

Making other colours of the torchbug pet available in the store, as login rewards or ESO loyalty rewards would at least be a nice gesture to the rest of us.

Nowhere in that article does it mention a torchbug pet for showing up. The only reward mentioned is the Twitch drops that were available for everyone.

People think they should have it just because they want it. That negates the entire point of the promotion and sets a profit-loss precedent. This entire thread makes me wince.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm enormously agoraphobic and struggle to visit the neighbours who live not 100 yards across the road. But other than that, point taken: were I not so agoraphobic, I'd be all over Europe. Well, and the US. And even Canada.as someone living in Central Canada, am actually sort of envious of those of you with the "possibility" of attending Gamescom
do comprehend and respect that moving around European countries is not actually as easy as simply heading in a direction,
but the actual physical distance from Manitoba to Texas is double the physical distance between Oxford and Germany

The little torchbug pet reminds me of the Legend of Zelda and small elven heroes are just my thing. I requested this pet in the crown store thread i believe. It doesn’t matter so much to me that I’m going to watch other people play a game I could be playing for a slim to none chance of getting it. If it was “everyone who tunes in to this official announcement gets something” that would be different. Right now it’s, “special chosen ones might be giving these to their favorite voyeurs.”
Someone mentioned that one of these streamers is using RNG to determine who gets it, that’s a bit better. But it’s not a requirement from Zos is it? So, who’s to say if an entire guild has something exclusive that no one else gets due to favoritism. That’s my problem with it. Give out the banker and merchant or a pet that used to be in the store but is no longer available or make it during the official ESO live or force it to be RNG controlled by the company so that any appearance of exclusion and favoritism is mitigated.

Not really.
As a console player we get "hey you guys can do this too in the future!"
Then it turns into "well maybe..."
Then "LOG in and get something!"
So situations like this one, makes me wonder even if such a thing is available to us.
Representatives are non-console only
Twitch rewards are non-console only
Combat metrics are non-console only
I get the feeling this is non-console only
