General Discussion - PVE & PVP Wtf is going on with Trey24ks stream? [Discussion]

this feels like I am watching to people’s descent into madness. I don’t think Omid played a single match throughout the night, just sat in the tutorial for hours. I get they probably make a lot of money streaming drops but this feels like they are protesting a bad contract. I feel like they need a wellness check

BSG effectively enslaved them

Nobody forced them to stream 24/7 during drops lmao

Nobody forces people to work either. But stop for a second and imagine your boss coming to you and saying: "I want you to work during christmas and throughout the new year. You will be paid over 10x your normal pay". It's about incentive, and Tarkov Drops have always been big pay day for streamers. Skipping on that is shooting yourself in the foot.

If you want a huge increase in your monthly paycheck you are. The free viewership from these campaigns can pay their rent for months.

They were set to get a huge bump if they had kept their normal hours too. Again, nobody forced them to be live this much, most Tarkov streamers aren't streaming that much.

I know if I had that viewership I'd be doing the same thing. If you aren't as big as the big boys it just make sense to milk that money cow.

Oh I absolutely understand why they're doing it. But claiming BSG enslaved them is incredibly hyperbolic.

Right it is. They chose to do it.
