I don't know why people think there would be a streamer *client*. If GGG really wanted to boost streamers, they'd do it with a simple flag in the database on whatever accounts they wanted to get "lucky". If they were smart they'd only have it activate for the first 48 hours, since that's all it takes to get an insurmountable lead, and they certainly wouldn't tell the streamers about it. It's vastly more likely that some random person outside the company gets mad and leaks communication showing that it is real than if the only people who know about it are a handful of employees.

I know there's pressure to get out a final content patch in quarter four but going forward maybe it would be a good idea if GGG gave itself more than ten days after a release before going on an extended holiday break. Maybe shoot for the last week of November?
I think that was Ultimatum? People were not happy. I was stuck in Mud Flats and every crash was right back to the queue.

I can remember when it happened in poe. I want to say it was either incursion, synth or build a monster league.
I think it's also happened in other games but I'm drawing blanks right now on which.
It does bare asking if devs are willing to prioritize wait times for players with large audiences why stop there?

It was during Ultimatum and it was the first time they hired big streamers (Shroud especially) to stream their launch so anyone they paid and a few other friends of GGG had a queue fast-pass.
Paying Shroud probably 200k to play your game and then have him not be able to play it would not have been the best idea. They said they never did it again because people were so upset by it so now we all suffer equally.

Maybe? They didn't always release a PoE1 league in December to then decide they have to release one for PoE2 during it but last December also had the equivalent of box sales at 30 dollars a pop. That one data point could warp decision making.
