Looks kinda nice aesthetically. I'm someone who has always been interested in BR but has never really got to play one because I haven't found that game to grab me yet. Currently Spellbreak is up there but I'll keep an eye on this to see how it shapes up.

I would have watched some gameplay if I hadn't seen "Jackfrags" in that URL. Cannot stand the bloke. Dreary voice and every game/update/season is always fantastic and amazing - you can smell the EA/Ubisoft/Activision money on every syllable that comes out of his gob.

Don't watch it, open a tab in firefox/chrome mute the tab, not the stream the tab itself and let it play in the background. It's what I did with Valorant and you dont have to watch someone you don't like. Or you can find someone you do like.

Well, I had no notification, but left on a stream whi9le I played another game and went on Uplay and it's there for me to download. Boom, easy.
I understand why these companies pander to streamers, but it creates this weird post-capitalist/Debordian nightmare framework whereby the streamer bourgeois are the ones who actually play the games while the twitch proletariat merely experience the spectacle of others playing it for them, a previously lived experience of playing a game now bound by the screen of the spectacle behind which his life has been deported, knows only the fictional speakers who unilaterally surround him with their commodities and the politics of their commodities.

A brilliantly sharp observation. I don't quite understand everything you said but I agree 100%!
