How many significant PoE streamers / content creators are left for them to interview?

what about nervyr - mtx guy

we need an interview talking about mtx. real endgame is path of fashion

the real end game for these types of arpg's is char names

I guess the interviews with streamers resonates with some people. I personally don’t get watching streamers. Just always seemed odd to watch other people playing games, when I could be playing them.

My kid likes to though. I guess it’s entertaining.

I like watching them on 2nd screen while playing the same game.
U can learn alot of tricks that would take u a long time to figure out aswell, like special crafting ect.

sirgog would be nice

I'm not sure if sirgog would really count as big enough. He does have a small following on YT, but that's as far as it goes. If I included him, I'd probably have to include a whole bunch of other smaller streamers as well just to maintain consistency.

I have a feeling GGG is likely to treat Nervyr as if he's radioactive or something. Any interview with him would end up with both the forums and Reddit filled to the brim with calls for an mtx preview function. Better to just quietly ignore him to avoid channeling the frustration.

Not sure if ThisIsBadger has ever been interviewed by GGG themselves. If not, he'd be a good addition to the list.

Good call. Besides streaming, Badger also organizes some pretty prominent events. I'll add him in.

Edit:- Actually check that. They've already interviewed Badger.

Does Ghudda still play? His game breaking was brilliant.

Ghudda doesn't seem as active these days. However this reminded me of Jousis and Eirereken (or however you spell than damn name!). I'll add them to the list. They've already done SlipperyJim.

I like watching curated stream highlights but I think that is an essentially different thing to being a part of the parasocial culture of actively watching and chatting to a livestream.

I think it depends on the genre too. I could play For Honor for years just farming bots to buy and unlock Fashion and still learn more watching a few competitive duels or matches. But with an ARPG, we started alone and we play alone (mostly). It feels weird watching someone else play alone in a manner not too unlike how we would do it ourselves. I just never thought they would be as much a spectator game type as more obvious esports but eh, I honestly think it's as much about being 'part' of the scene as it is actually watching the play.

So...to me it's inherently hipster, given my early experience of actual hipsters was one where it was of utmost importance to be seen in the scene but not seem it. But eh, that word gets thrown around way too much by linguistically lazy boneheads who want it to simply mean 'doing your own thing, trends and optimisation be damned'...when, in a way, it really meant almost the opposite. For the hipster, trend was everything...especially saying otherwise.

Anyway yeah. There are some games I really appreciate watching when it's someone playing it in a way I never could AND wish I could. PoE though? Sure, they play the high high end, but it doesn't look like much fun to me. YMMV naturally.
