Yeah, I understand that, I’m just not convinced even content creators can impact the bottom line unless they’re talking about in-game stuff.
Sure, if Firespark or Wak or Kiah come out and say “don’t buy XYZ from the Bazaar because it’s an absolute pile of shіt” (but not in those words, of course), that will impact the Bazaar sales of XYZ. I can also imagine they could impact the Bazaar sales in general with commentary about Bazaar, to a certain degree.
But if they make a video criticizing Funcom for “silencing people on the forums” – just as an example – how many of their viewers will care enough to stop giving Funcom money? Sure, there will be some, but will it actually make any perceptible dent in their bottom line? My bet is “hell no”.
People get outraged easily – myself included – but few will put their money (or their time) where their mouth is. Myself included
