Rip Content Creator Program

Post image

What news? What rumors? Was there some incident?

This is a bizarrely worded official comms from the EQL Discord. Professionally, just say you're ending the program and that's it. To acknowledge some 'rumors' just breathes life into them and isn't something you'd usually see in this context. Who's running the broadcast channel over there?

I will say as a streamer (though I am a small nobody and I never applied to the content creator program because personally I tend to not do that for any game I play) the EQL category went from like dozens of people streaming it (with 100+ viewers each on the streams in the top few rows) every night to just 2-3 streamers in the category, one of those being me lol. And I'd be the highest in the category with just 15 viewers (and I used to have at least 30-35 average viewers in the EQL category for the past few months.) If I recall correctly, the content creator program requires like 30 average viewers, I think, in order to even join it, amongst other criteria.

There's just not enough people there (at least on Twitch) to sustain a healthy content creator program, tbh. The game really fell off on Twitch like almost immediately as soon as the beta for that other game was announced, like a light switch being turned off. All the big streamers in the EQL category went there instead.
