yeah twitch drops have always felt sus and weird to me as a marketing mechanism, if a livestream has interesting info then presumably you don't need cosmetic incentives to attract an audience, and yet every large game dev company does it because 'common marketing wisdom' and 'everyone else is doing it'
it's weird how nowadays game dev companies treat twitch viewership numbers as a measure of a game's buzz and how they sign deals with streamers to promote the game to their viewers, it looks underhanded and it's out in the open but they don't care I guess
question is... are you rushing to the corner store right now to buy some Doribos and energy drinks to get a wolf mount in ESO ???
I play ESO sometimes and I hate the obnoxious promotions.
