Some Overwatch streamers feel snubbed by Blizzard's 'Support a Streamer' Twitch event.
, community manager Andy Belford said he feels the list of streamers includes a"good mix of familiar faces and new folks who will bring plenty of new eyes to both the game and community."
Belford also said that the idea behind the event is to market Overwatch 2 through streamers without"just throwing piles of cash" at them. "Like it or not, traditional marketing is no more and content creators serve an important function in the existing ecosystem," he wrote."What we're focused on doing is providing opportunities for creators to be successful with Overwatch, so that creating content for the community is a more sustainable choice for them."
For the streamers who didn't make the cut, however, there's no practical difference: In return for promoting Overwatch 2, popular streamers will bring in the most money from the event, while everyone else will continue streaming without that support like usual.Tyler has covered games, games culture, and hardware for over a decade before joining PC Gamer as Associate Editor.
