not mad here but I won't be partaking or watching specifically because its on twitch, it feels less sincere if popularity/follower/ad revenue gains are involved.

this one time in EC tunnel a guy was quitting and gave away all his things, pretty sure he had a fungi on too, had a swarm of people chasing him around shady as he was dropping gear on the ground and then switched to doing /randoms. no twitch or youtube was involved, just a guy doing a legit nice thing for folks when he could have just deleted his character.

Majorly applaud your awesomeness for helping the community & your kindness is exemplary. Best of luck to all.

There are no ad revenue gains. You don't generate ad revenue by drawing a few dozen P99ers to your Twitch stream.

Look, if you're jumping into a giveaway thread to point out to people that the way someone is conducting their giveaway isn't the most sincere, most selfless, most transparent possible way to do things, you are an asshole. Self-aggrandizement and internet popularity is beside the point - it's a giveaway. Only the most insufferable, pedantic, insecure complainers will point out that a nice gesture is slightly less of a nice gesture because of x or y. It's still a nice gesture. No one with any sense of reality gives a shit about how many followers he has on Twitch. It does not matter. Coming in here and saying Speedi's giveaway "feels less sincere" because he's hosting it on Twitch and gains Twitch followers from doing it is poorly masked jealousy masquerading as virtue.

Pretty lame OP. I remember giveaways on live AND here that didn't require people to be on twitch to participate. Call it what it really is...

Not quite the hand out you're used to receiving?

If you think p99 streamers are in it for donations (especially dudes,) you are woefully naive to that world. EQ streamers get maybe 20-30 viewers on a good night. It's a pretty fair exchange and quite generous, in my opinion.

I'll be there, looking forward to it! Thanks Speedi and DoF.

The last donation I got had an insult/demand message attached to it.

Right on Speedi- I'll at least host your stream.
