Play Testing
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 ...
Forum Discussion
@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.
You come across to me as insincere.
What can I say. They are lucky, you have not been so lucky. See below:
"i was not picked but the other 57 friends i play with on a regular"
Which means the other 57 have been picked.
Most likely they cater to streamers because streamers influence a large number of people.
"But i will stop responding to your comments as you fail to read or understand what has been writte"
Sure, do not answer, PLEASE!
"... Im in a discord with a lot people we play with and no one is ever picked. Only streamers"
So which is it? 57 have been picked, or no one?
Nowhere in your previous posts you mentioned how many friends have been picked.

"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?"
your ppost #4
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.

"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... "

"Ehh my point stands and anyone who has played this game for a lengthy period knows exactly what im talking about. "
- @Vdstrk You can go look for your arguments elsewhere and the 57 was a typo the 57 also rejected. This isnt a debatethis is well known knowledge they do most the testing season after seasons. I said its not because i was picked twice now ive said this. I want to know why just regular people are not brought in.
As for bringing more faces to Apex this has already been done. They have on average around 80k viewers for apex and lets face it if someone has not heard of apex then they are sleeping under a rock. Game is widely known throughout the community. During certain events they may have a slight increase in viewers this most likely is not new faces but people who just want to see the new season. Rather watch it then actually come try it. So that excuse is not a good one as for why they are always picked. @E9ine_AC
LOL.Just because some Content Creators have been picked to test the upcoming changes in Apex, it does not mean they were the ONLY ones selected. You have no way of knowing who has been picked as a play-test for sure, can you?
As for why you have not been in the selection, that is quite the Ego trip, who knows for sure, and who cares? But mostly, why do you care so much about it?
its easy, streamer give visibility to the game, EA and Respawn is not interested "to the game" but to sell cosmetic and pass...
1 streamer with 500 spectators with a good cosmetic makes many want to have them.....
1 NO streamer want good game, work fine without lag, bug, cheaters and another long list of problem and this not create income..
I've been a member for years and never invite me to test new kind of map i have 1200 hours of play..
the law of number this matters..
then you ask why streamers are good players from first day of release? because have hundreds hours of play in new map, knows glitch, knows best place for land, knows best place where find good loot...
@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.E9ine_AC, did you expect anything else really? And lets be honest, they are more trying to get Streamers approval of anything else. They are not streaming the testing, and pretty much not leaking anything at all, so .....
But i guess we got to accept it, cause its pretty much like that in a lot of games out there, and they are doing stuff that please streamers.
And yeah they pretty much got the power. Cause when they are unhappy, all of their 12 years old fanbase are going hard to bite at social media and so.
Its an absolutely joke.
Back in the day and i think it was way better, people were just playing the game and that was. Almost no one was in the forums, asking for nerfs/buffs/complaining/crying and all that stuffs. Just compare it to now, its absolutely ridiculous. Yeah for that you need a solid testing team, that know what he is doing, but this is the right stuff anyway.
Right now there is thousands of complain, but there is still people that are happy with, and they just don`t want to waste their precious time, and just playing the game, not writing in a forum, and they are happy/unhappy, but their opinion is not heard. And there is a lot of people like that, that don`t want to waste their time creating useless thread and instead of playing to complaining in a forum. But their opinion is not taken at all. Did the Devs think about that ?
As far as Streamer goes, lets be real they care what is good for them, and what they can get advantage in competition for example.
