People Who Stream For Money Are Ruining The Gaming Community
If you stream for money shame on you. Gaming should be a hobby not a job. You people begging for money make me sick. I don't know what's worse the people streaming for money or the idiots who donate to them?
While you're sitting on your ass fighting aliens you have little kids fighting cancer. Shame on you...

4 RepliesIt's there version of tv and Netflix you pay for channels on tv or people buy subscriptions to streamers if someone enjoys a person's personality and wants to support them why not it's not hurting you no need to hate

1 ReplyI agree. I can't blame people for taking idiots money though. The problem is the people paying these guys. Xbox, please ban these guys consoles.

3 RepliesNo matter what job you have, no matter how prestigious, there will still be kids dying from cancer. So I don't understand your point.

If I could make half the money I make in a year playing games, I would in a heartbeat. Getting paid to do something you enjoy in life is hard to come by. I enjoy my job, but not the stress, sleepless days/nights and people I deal with.

7 RepliesEver heard about AGDQ and SGDQ?

4 RepliesIf you have a job shame on you. You should be doing your services for free. It should be a hobby not a job. See how stupid I just sounded? "If you're good at something never do it for free" plus, people have the right to do whatever they choose to do. Who the F- are you to tell them otherwise? [spoiler][b][i][u]Shame on you OP[/u][/i][/b][/spoiler]

7 RepliesThey never beg for money they happily thank almost every single person who donates even if it's a dollar

31 RepliesWaaaaaaaaaaa People should be allowed to make money any legal way that they can.

I think people that get money for playing games are genius when it comes to a business standpoint. However people that donate to them let alone even watch them are pathetic just downright pathetic.
-
So homeless children and cancer patients aren't as high priority to donate to? Instead waste money on free service.

Lol dude....these ppl getting money for streaming are doing an honest job. They are providing entertainment for ppl and those ppl will provide a few bucks to help the streamer continue their escapades. For some, streaming communities are a home. A place to discuss gaming and other things that they enjoy talking about. Its a community. If thats what some ppl are into then so be it let them do their thing. This complaint is a personal complaint not a legitimate problem. Just because you dont see why ppl do it doesn't mean others see it the same way. Not to mention you shouldn't even worry about this. Do your thing, and let others do theirs. If it bothers you, dont pay attention to it. Simple as that. There are ppl in this world making money from much more devious circumstances than gaming. Maybe you should call them out. Not the ppl who aren't doing anything even remotely wrong.

6 RepliesThat's been my opinion the whole time

6 RepliesEdited by R8 Revolver Only: 8/2/2015 10:32:35 PMYes and while you're playing destiny people are fighting cancer and probably aren't going to live so why aren't you donating or is the point of your post just fundamentally wrong? I'm not gonna donate to either because I don't care about both this is the real world -blam!-ing suck it up. You must also not know of the porn industry, I'm guessing number 7.

5 RepliesI think it's more like tips but they don't call it that cause they don't want it taxed which is what's really wrong with it.

1 ReplyObviously you must of failed to be a streamer yourself

12 RepliesOK I stream and I'm not big what do never I get a few in here and their But here is my say on this as a streamer Mind u I'm not full time But. The donation button is fine to have. What pisses me off is the bots that constantly spam the chat hey won't u donate if u like the stream Of it didn't spam it would be more tolerable but don't start streaming out YouTube for money that's not what you should do it for You should do it for fun and liking to meat new people Liking to entertain people not on a sole purpose to get paid that is not right Take the other day for example I was in a random guys chat and I don't know I see you like every 10 lines of chat it would pop up saying hey if you like this chat donate and posted the link to his donate thing on PayPal but it got a little bit annoying and what made me leave the channel all together. Another big thing is women who intentionally dress inappropriate for the views I got permanently banned in a nother streamers Chad just for asking her to put on a appropriate shirt but there's a ton of people sitting in their ass and I'll take it off take it off and she said she didn't mind perverted comments which is weird so it may be this feel like okay well she knows what she's doing she's doing it intentionally for the views she's probably partnered with twitch and has a donate button and she's doing it for the money just because she is a good looking woman that can show her body off just to get money but that's I feel bad conduct to do. End of the day donate buttons fine just don't spam and don't be asking for donations I mean that I don't even have a donate button nor do I expect people to donate to me the satisfaction of people coming to my stream and liking and talking to me is payment enough I mean I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. But hey if you get the requirements and twitch partners you and you get paid a good for you. Sorry for any mistakes in my message I'm using text to talk while I'm driving

Have you ever heard of extralife? Its a charity where streamers and gamers get together and raise money for kids [b]Fighting cancer[/b]. Funny how you call streamers greedy when the last extra life event, streamers raised around 3.99 million http://nerdist.com/extra-life-gamers-raise-3-99-million-for-charity/ You don't have to donate if you don't want to,many streamers believe a follow is enough.

What does streaming do to ruin the gaming community. Don't just diss streaming because you hate it, give me a legitimate reason as to why it is ruining our community. Please, enlighten me.
-
Its the people who are giving them money that's ruining it...
-
I thought your post would explain your opening title. I was mistaken.
-
Weird, I think they're geniuses for making a living doing something they love.
-
They aren't begging for it In most streamers descriptions it says donations are [b]NOT[/b] expected but are greatly appreciated They never say you must donate to be apart of the stream or something like that
-
Lol how is it "ruining" the gaming community
