So, we all should know that sea of thieves recently has become very popular amongst streamers, with Sumit1g Starting it and now drdisrespect and Timthetatman, hopping on it really is a great thing, with all the views as well as new players joining its defiantly increasing the lifespan of the game. But with the new streamers i think its become apparent that the new players have brought with them a wave of toxicity that i feel a lot of the hardcore fans are really disliking.
The issue is, is that most of these streamers arriving have a very divided community that arnt the best of people but can be, they also can be very toxic, and i mean very. Furthermore when looking at what the streamers play, most are from Fortnite, which as well all know are very, toxic to say the least, and most are kids, so its very hard now especially since the community im saying is increasingly bigger, to hold it very close and nice amongst us. And what was once a very calming sea has become one what was envisioned from the title of it, its full of players who are willing to risk it all to earn a couple coins and ruin other peoples day.
Benefits of streamers:
More players
Gets the game out there
Increases rares public image (Very good for the game and company)
And i imagine more but thats all i can think of
Negatives of the streamer wave:
quite a bit of toxicity
arguments between the devs and the streamers
Kids(And by this i mean kids that get the game cause ninjas got it and dont really understand then complain about it and cry basically because they couldnt get their castaway sold)
The community is getting more divided
I do believe streamers are a good thing for the sea, but i dont think its good for the community, as there will be a big divide now between og players and ones who joined recently. These people are the ones who complain and argue that everyone should get time limited cosmetics after they're time on sale has gone.
good but bad, people who scoop the poopdeck vs captains, thats how i sea this(yes i did mean to put sea when i meant see)
