The entire gimmick grosses me it, it truly does.

If Twitch is so fucking great, if the rich narcissist assholes making this face soypoint-1 on it are that amazing, why are there so many obnoxious in-game ads in games like Warframe and the like that don't even bother featuring such dubious content but just say "get a free in game item if you open wide and take in this incoming slop spray!"

Isn't it always just some lame skin or cosmetic?

The only cool thing about cosmetics was when I sold a few counter strike skins for like $60 when CS2 came out. I haven't even played cs in years

I'm an investor

More recently it's in-game currency/boosters, which I also skip.

Back when it was skins/cosmetics, the most consoomer-brained of freeze-gamer would outright demand their guild/clan/whatever wear the skins/cosmetics to show "commitment." Fuck that.

I quit playing war thunder years ago because once you get to tier 3-4 you have to treat it like a full time job to make any progress. Oh you unlocked a new plane? Have fun playing 200 matches against even better fully upgraded planes until yours is anywhere near competitive. All so they can sell you a premium account subscription or a single plane that costs as much as a full other game

Although it was kinda fun stomping on people in tier 2 if you know how to climb and energy fight
