Shred Monkey Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this, but in today's world, not having a streaming and YouTube presence is a pretty big deal for a game. I personally, was hoping whatever is causing this restriction wasn't going to last very long. Equally, I believe it speaks well of the player base of homecoming that we have been responsible enough to accept and respect this restriction.

Vulpoid Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I have no idea why somebody would want to stream. It is a non profit enterprise, so no reason to advertise. Nothing to gain financially. If it is simply narcissism, invite the people you desire to gaze at you to play the game by your side. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoulVileTerror Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Profit isn't the only reason to want to make the game more visible. For whatever reason, streaming is "the thing" right now, and the ideal means by which Homecoming could increase its playerbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lines Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 At least the size of the playerbase still surpasses the expenses to run the game right now. I still can't believe how quickly the donation windows are closed. I have faith that the time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a legal gray area and the last thing we want to do is be more visible. There is a very real risk that the game will once again have to hide on small private servers if we draw attention. Be thankful you can play, and please lurk in the shadows... If you really need more people... invite them word of mouth or email, but it is really important that we do not leave digital shouts, high fives and scream about how awesome we are. Shhhhhhh......

Ya know, I thought the same 'til I played Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Videos with builds and demonstrations weren't just popular, they were fun to watch and educational. I got turned on to them from reading forum posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
