PLease add a functionality for no-streamer games
Hello,
Streamers are a source of many troubles for regular players, which they rarely think about.
1) they increase account security problems by displaying your account name, and some of the account content you possess (especially rare and expensive findings), with often recorded videos of it on internet, even to people who don't even play the game and didn't buy it
2) they can be a source of a massive harassment if they drive the focus of the masses following them on you
3) they can be a source of humiliation for your account if they beat you in a poor manner with thousands of viewers
4) they can disturb how the game plays by having a whole clique follow them and even make you lose your match by doing weird things they think is fun with many people accompanying them
5) they can reveal to your whole server your gameplay strategy while you were just fighting one opponent (the streamer)
6) they centralize most the attention on them when they play, even if something else deserves some of it too
7) they don't ask you if you agree for what they are doing. all you can do is leave the game. But :
8) they also never announce themselves ingame, except sometimes with a TTV affix you have to notice by yourself during the game
What i'm saying here applies to all online games.
What i would suggest is :
- Make streamers declare they are such somewhere for the devs to know it (even little streamers)
- Add an option to regular players to be able to play games without streamers (checkbox in the options etc)
- add an option ingame to randomize your player/account name if you think it is still unsafe.
Playing with 3 regular opponents on the screen is different than having thousands of players watching you cause someone is filming it.
I don't mind if people like them to be able to play with them too. I just want to be able to say "no i don't want that in my game" somewhere in the options
Thank you for your attention.
