Petition for 3 hours stream WWW

[spartansociety]

Lock Angry Joe in a steaming room with no bathroom or tea and don't let him out until he has won an Ironman with Poland or the game is out.

Stop being greedy and be happy that they even show the game to us in the firstplace. Paradox could simply not do it if they felt like it.. and I'd rather let them show and give what they are comfortable with.

Three hours? No. Two? maybe? But three is too way too much for them to keep focused on while they are playing the game and talk about it as they are streaming it out live and need to think of what they exactly say and do.

We are mearly doing what Da9l and Jake are asking for
Da9l wants to keep playing but his 1h stream always ends after 1h such horror....
So we are kindly asking to give him 1h extra, but all know that the 2h stream will end after 2h and Da9l still won't be happy cause he needs to stop playing...

A few of you guys have commented on the possibility of the game being delayed, if Daniel and Jake were to spend more time on the streams.
I doubt that would be the case. D-day has not been chosen as a release date because Daniel or Jake can't finish their vital work until the day before!
The claim can be easily refuted or confirmed by their boss though I'm sure.

I don't know what Daniel and Jakes work on the project actually entails, but if it is QA then what better way to do the testing than with 1000+ inquisitive, eager, and in more than a few instances I'm sure, very knowledgeable, eyes looking on. Ready to pick up on anything untoward the report it on the forum, where it then gets critiqued in incredible detail as I have seen in many instances already.

I think the most important thing that you guys are not picking up on though, is the incredible marketing potential of these streams.
I for one can verify at least two extra sales that would not have taken place without them.
Stellaris for me, as I have started to watch that stream now because of the WWW one, and I would not have even considered purchasing it had I not watched the streams, as its not a genres I was in interested in before.
HOI4 for my nephew, as I had WWW playing in my kitchen when he popped in for a cup of coffee.

Its not easy to be good in front of a camera, and narrate on what you are dong, as I'm sure a few of the other guys at Paradox will agree. These two young men are naturals.
Paradox have found two very valuable resources here, and I can see them going on to promote other games with interviews and presentations later in their career as well as this one.
I have no idea how much money companies spend on 30 sec advert, but here is the potential to have a two or three hour one completely free of charge (unless you want to factor in Daniel and Jakes wages).
Hell, they could even enable adds on youtube, to make a bit of money to offset their wages, if they felt they really needed to!
The WWW stream has got a following now, and if it were to continue after the release, especially with multi player battles I would still watch it.
Actually, I would probably want to watch it even more, as I would be much more familiar with how it works and a lot more critical of the players actions I'm sure

Don't waste these guys behind a desk, get them out into the public eye

I think it s way easier to give youtubers acces, you will have the closest thing to 24/7 streaming.

 

[Earmuffs]

Why all the hate for wanting the stream to be longer?
The pros of these streams far out weigh the hour or two taken out of 2-3 Paradox employees time a week.
As Daz mention above, it's bug testing and it's marketing and you get valuable consumer feedback. It helps create a better game for us as well as give us great entertainment along the way. And if you don't want to watch it, nobody is forcing you.

I personally wouldn't want 24/7 streaming.
2 hours a week would have my vote, but if we need to barter for it by requesting for 3 hours then so be it

The problem with releasing it to youtubers is it diffuses the interest.
You could argue that this would increase the exposure to the potential market, but if the game is not ready yet, who is to say they will look on it favourably?
That exposure will come on release anyway, when the youtubers get their hands on it.


At the moment we have everyone watching the same game, then it gives us all a common frame of reference to chat about it afterwards in the forums.
It reminds me of the good? old days, where we only had three channels on the TV, and when you went to work everyone would chat about what we had watched, which was almost always the same thing.
Even now when we have parties, conversation can fall on the common ground of what we used to watch as kids.
People have so many different forms of entertainment now, sometimes its hard to find common ground. We have three TV's, two desktop comps, ipads, phones just within our household and there are only three of us and every night we do our own thing.

Giving youtubers access would be like watching a very good movie, then watching all the spin offs that are never as good as the original.
That's just my opinion obviously.
I would far rather watch someone that was involved in developing the game than, some random or famous youtuber anyway.

Sign up for petition to stream 24/7 until HOI4 comes out!






You know what, just send me the game so I can stream it to myself.

That's pretty great, it's because of comments like this that there needs to be a "funny" button added in addition to agree, disagree and helpful! =P

 

[Bocaj78]

I will only sign a petition if it is at least 4 hours if you have to stage a coup of paradox so you can get more time!
