Why does EA only allow streamers to play test things? Why are those who put in hours upon hours games after games never invited? I get applications to apply for it all the time but never picked. But go on YT and see all the big names play testing? What gives?? Are we not worthy enough? Does our findings of bugs and glitches for new content not matter? Yall need to really think about this catering to streamers non stop.

@Koochi-Q Pretty much how apex feels if you are not a streamer you mean nothing to them nor does your advice or concerns. Just look at the countless things changed because a streamer complained. While we been on the forums asking for such changes for months and all it took was that 1 streamer complaining about it and boom changes are made...

@E9ine_AC The streamers were not play testing tho. They simply got early access to promote the game.

@E9ine_AC My dude, we've been play testing since s1 lol. Half of the LTM's are literally just content experiments, the standard playerbase are the ones who seem to find all of the game breaking bugs as you yourself have stated.Literally the only difference between playtesters and ourselves is we don't get to preview said content.

@E9ine_AC You don’t matter! If you don’t stream with high numbers you don’t matter!Streamers playtesting means having thousands upon thousands of voices ‘heard’. A regular shmuck playtesting means a lonesome voice heard.Despite that, It’s only Apex so far. I’ve playtested multiple EA games when they were anywhere from pre-alpha to beta as they have a service for it.

@lnxtvvI mean i can understand wanting to try advertising type deal but the game has so much hype that its a well known game.Im at roughly 4k hours and number 6 in the world for games played. I have a vast amount of knowledge in this game as well as great feedback and finding bugs and exploits. But as ive said this is not me being salty i wasnt picked it is just odd that i would not be a option which i dont care if they dont want the help thats fine they have plenty of other people.The point is you dont see small streamers uploading content of their game testing. But instead the most popular. You want to try to focus on me when im asking why regulars have no game testing content why only big names have them. This is not about me. As i have stated 4 times now.

@EA_Barry Im signed up im sent applications to play test just never accepted. But all big name streamers sure are. It sucks I play test for many games as does others but streamers get first pick over us who are not known.

Just doesnt seem fair. Im not even saying this because i dont get picked its more why are streamers the first people to test things? Why are none of us regular people ever accepted? After all look at the countless bugs that come through new content with the play testers currently allowed to test things.

What change do you have in mind that a streamer has suggested and it was taken into consideration?

Bet yeah, I see you wanna be snarky.
Hmmm, from your post, I would guess the same. You must be completely new to gaming in general.
What is the change you are referring to? Is there a specific one?
Just in case you still wonder why you were not picked. Most likely this is how it works. First they get VIPs in, and people who can showcase the game to an audience, because in that way EA would reach out to MORE people,
Eventually, if they still have interest and or need, they will invite players who they know have experience in play testing a game. Finally, should they need more people, they would randomly select them from those who applied.

Sorry you did not get selected. They had more relevant people to chose from. Perhaps you, I and a million other players do not matter that much.
I can live with that. Can you?

@VdstrkPerhaps you fail to read where i openly stated this is not just because i was not picked but the other 57 friends i play with on a regular. lol I just want to know why they cater to streamers. But i will stop responding to your comments as you fail to read or understand what has been written. This is widely known thing that needs a change.
I honestly could care less if i was picked this is more asking why do regular people never get picked. Im in a discord with a lot people we play with and no one is ever picked. Only streamers. Until im corrected by a mod my statement stands.
