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!”

    why would the game want to direct you away from the game to watch someone else play the game?

    Social imprinting, mostly. Watching some rich narcissist make soypoint-1 faces tends to lead to more conditioning to buy le epic loot boxes to follow the leader, and such.
