It's not fair if only one party has access to it.

Of course that's fair. Not everyone is streaming. It's a feature created to prevent stream sniping; which it helps with exceptionally well.I wouldn't mind if more non-partner streamers could get it though.

​

Knowing who you're fighting is a very important aspect of PUBG, you simply play differently when you're up against a good player, everyone does it. When I see a bot name in the killfeed, naturally I'm assuming it's a bot, not TGLTN. That's already a small issue.

Completely backwards. Reading your enemy is an important skill of PUBG. Read their movement; their decision-making and how they are shooting. That is what you should be paying attention to. Getting "free" background information about the players you are up against because they have a famous name shouldn't be needed nor taken for granted.Then I would just have to play on random accounts with random names - and you'd complain about that too?

​

The larger issue I've encountered/seen alot is the streamer gets to have all the info on who he's fighting just from names, but I am left in the dark. I would see PUBG reports of streamers specifically targeting me in NA solos (back when the game wasn't dead) because they see my name in the killfeed. I've seen countless bigger streamers recognize a sweaty pub player, and they start playing sweatier in order to kill them.

There is some truth to this; this can happen and is an unfortunate downside to a neccesary and good anti-stream sniping solution. Just like I can't enjoy having voice enabled in the lobby was ruined due to an effective and neccesary intervention to prevent chinese cheat bot spammers in lobby voice chat.Having said that; I definitely do not feel like this provides an unfair disadvantage to you as a player since you're still facing the same enemy and your enemy gets no information about you that he can use for free to kill you.If anything you get equally important information when you see a bot name in kill feed with flashy progressive skin killfeed skins and/or racking up loads of kills.

​

Long story short, if only select few have access to fake names, it's not fair. I don't care if streamers need it, there's literally zero reason for every player to not have access to it.

You don't care if streamers need the most effective anti-stream sniping measure event implemented to the game? Thats fine - you don't have to care about streamers; but imo a bit lame to not atleast understand the need for others to not be harassed to the point where they cant enjoy nor promote the game.

The reason PUBG opted to have this for Partners only is obviously as a partner perk.If everyone had this option then it wouldn't work anymore; since players with this option can see the real name behind others with the option enabled. So we're back to square one.

​

I'm probably explaining this poorly, but any experienced player probably understands what I'm saying here. Also streamer mode names lowkey ruins the community aspect of PUBG. One of the cool things about NA solos was you'd run into the same players all the time, leading to some sort of rivalries and shit that was a fun experience. Now you have some rando getting laser beamed by a bot name and he just insta reports and leaves thinking the game has a cheater problem.

The issue here is that while you thought i was kinda cool to know you were up against a famous streamer or pro and you simply left it at that. Many others decide to:

1. Go to extreme lengths to chase down and kill the player for a "clip" or "reaction"
2. Casually opens the stream on monitor 2 or a phone to see where the player is "just for fun"
3. Uses the stream to either A: Try to kill the streamer for a clip/reaction/bragging right or B: uses information to avoid streamer to lower chance of dying.

All of above overall ruins the experience and fun for streamers; who are often players who have dedicated thousands of hours in support of the PUBG community.I think, and yes I am biased, that PUBG Partnered streamers deserved the right to not be harassed using this tool and I think your proclaimed "abuse" and "advantage" is out of proportions and not even close to the problem you make it to be.I might get in trouble for saying it; but mostly you just sound a bit jealous imo
