Some of you people are fucking insane if you wouldn't take the money to stream a shit game. I've been paying money for years to play shit games.

Must be nice though, sit on your ass day in and day out playing video games making ungodly amounts of money.
I don't fault the people streaming the game and being paid, they are doing their jobs. They are marketing.
I dunno, I feel like there is a TON of uncertainty in playing and relying on streaming for income. if you get lucky and get someone like Ice Poseidon and stream IRL or whatever you want and people turn out to watch your cringey antics then you are lucky as fuck but think about someone like towelliee who streams WoW and if he streams anything else outside of WoW he drops to like 1/4th of the amount of viewers.
You are, in some cases, strapped to the game that nets you popularity. Unless you break out like some have done. When your game fades, you really wonder what people do. If WoW ever dies I wonder what towelliee will do.
Its smashing sales-- no sign of slowing down right now. Its a runaway hit doing numbers we haven't seen in a decade.
The TIMING that people talk about all the time in this fourm, they have that. It was time. The market was lush and WoW Legion had just faded to black.
This game is NOT going away any time soon. And a lot of people are going to be playing it regardless of how many bitter leetdudes on twitch chat are spamming BORINGGG.
Everyone who's anyone already purchased it. If you are hating on Albion for X Y Z reason you will be in the minority for a long while, at least a solid month. Everyone else will be checking out the game, and yes, having fun.
It does suck, bacon donut has been playing Minecraft for years, dude has tried his best to play other games but he can't afford the viewer drop. I can't imagine the pain of playing Minecraft 6 days a week for 4+ years.
Then again if I was paying my mortgage in 2 days I think I could manage.

Potater-Today at 9:37 PM

Detockz-Today at 9:37 PM
Rest in Pepperonis
Potater-Today at 9:37 PM
The price is so cheap
Holy crap
Histo-Today at 9:37 PM
How long is the ban
Swiftor-Today at 9:37 PM
Probably perm unless I'm able to appeal. We'll see.
Histo-Today at 9:38 PM
Omg if ur perma banned you can't give guild ownership
Swiftor-Today at 9:38 PM
I'm confident I can get that transfered.
Potater-Today at 9:39 PM
I honestly can't blame you. Those prices are just insane
10,000 for ten dollars
Swiftor-Today at 9:39 PM
Yeah
I bought about 100k gold, lol
luckily used some on upgrading the island before ban
didn't have time to do the full upgrade
ah well
Potater-Today at 9:40 PM
Well, if you were going to be banned, you went out guns blazing
AidanMacNeill-Today at 9:42 PM
Yeah, it's perma right now (200 years but same thing)
SkolViking944-Today at 10:09 PM
What did he do??
Mudpie-Today at 10:09 PM

SkolViking944-Today at 10:10 PM
ahhh
yea
lol
Swiftor-Today at 10:11 PM
yep
worst case, ill get the guild transferred.
Ckay-Today at 10:31 PM
That sucks dude I think they should simply just reset your gold. Problem is, will they take the guild from us as you spent it on that? Also I really hope you get somewhere with it as it would be great for you to keep playing it. Problem is, you were a creator and got given 12k gold for free so they will look down at you.
Histo-Today at 10:32 PM
Creator?
Ckay-Today at 10:36 PM
A youtube creator
Histo-Today at 10:36 PM
Ok
Swiftor-Today at 10:49 PM
Low level person replied, said they'd consider transferring the guild.
They are escalating, so we'll see whats up.
Potater-Today at 10:49 PM
Escalating?
Swiftor-Today at 10:49 PM
To a higher up
The fact that this game has made about 40 million dollars before it even launched makes me fucking sick. The entire gaming community should be embarrassed honestly. I swear it's as if the entire industry is going in reverse. How the fuck is it possible for a game to look and play worse than 15-20 year old games that it's trying to emulate? I'm not sure what's worse, the shitty devs that made this shitty game or the idiots in the community that threw literally 1000's of dollars at this game while it was in beta?(yes I shit you not I met numerous people that said they spent 1,000$+ on gold while the game was still in beta). Like what the actual fuck? Is it seriously this easy to scam people out of their money?
"Lol I decided to watch a few steamers tonight instead of playing and apparently they are paying summit to play it and it's obvious. Chat is just going crazy with booooorrrriiiinnnngggg."
This is why Kripp is one of my favorite streamers. I guarantee he got offered a shitload of money to play this game and turned it down because he knows how garbage it is. Although I guess I can't blame sell outs like Summit and Sodapoppin because I'm sure they're getting well in the 5 figure amounts to play it.
Circumstantially a group of chinese or whatever gold farmers (their usernames are like bikinipandaCOM--google that) have put down huge bids to buy out the land that was held by what appears to have been the strongest valued guild in Albion. The amount in game silver was equivalent to 2,700 USD.
This guild wanted action taken about the matter, wanted to get refunded in regard to their counterbid, wanted to hear from the devs how they will fix the situation. Basically they just got a GM playing the politician role that would hear them out but not really listen.
So that guild is leaving Albion after investing a lot of money. Never to return, and leaving this big message of how things are in game.
