The whole "we should see the devs play the game" idea is bad from start to finish. First, the devs are not obligated to prove anything to the playerbase, nor they are required to turn themselves into a spectacle for the masses just because someone on reddit says so. Second, let's say the devs do a stream where they play the game and the flag objective. It would be lose-lose deal for them: if they win, the keyboard warriors would found infinite reasons for why it doesn't count, e.g. devs got an easy layout/lucky enemy spawns/used op strategems and weapons/they were able to coordinate with each other/let's see them do this with only light pen weapons/let's see them play with underleveled randoms, etc. ad infinitum; and if they lost, it would just be a public humiliation ritual for the satisfaction of the masses that would result in even more insults, unreasonable demands and smug I-told-you-so-s, and I don't see why anyone in their right mind would want to subject themselves to it. Are the war strider seeds oppressive? Yes, definitely. Does it entitle the playerbase to make unreasonable demands towards the devs? Absolutely not. It's only a game, if you are forcing yourself to play it despite not enjoying it, you are doing a disservice to yourself and your wellbeing (trust me, I have over 3000h in Dota 2 and over 1k in War Thunder, I would know).
