They have greatly damaged their users and their indirect users' trust. When big time streamers like cohhcarnage and asmongold directly replies to unity and tell them how much they have messed up https://twitter.com/CohhCarnage/status/1703577526809845760 https://twitter.com/Asmongold/status/1703636396718555428, you know you've done fucked up

Streamers don't really play much of a role in gamedev communities though. The professional perception of the developer community is what will really be tested here.

I would beg to differ. A lot of game developers watch gaming streams. There's a reason why cohhcarnage was asked to voice in cyberpunk and baldur's gate 3, and why blizzard personnels will respond to asmongold directly

These two things, game devs watching streamers and game companies engaging with streamers are largely orthogonal. The latter is to appeal to the streamers general audience as they are influential. It is however excellent that these two have game developers backs.

From the perspective of understanding and reacting to this the OP is correct that streamers aren’t really driving this.
