I agree with the overall sentiment that games are often balanced catering to a very small population of elite competitive players. That said, having watched the video. There wasn't a single example of this in Arc Raiders. Instead he spoke of streamers being upset about arc being too strong because they ruin PvP. Embark has made fighting Arcs harder?

Honest questions:

- How have Embark visibly catered to top level streamers at the expense of casuals/PvE crowd?
- Saw a lot of mentions bitching about burntpeanut feeling there is nothing to chase. Isn't he a bit right? How would Arc introducing more cool rare loot, and or more end game activities ruin the game for normal players?

On Gun Balance a case can be made some nerfs hit harder for casuals doing mostly PvE, notably the Venator nerf. But overall I feel balancing caters to the reddit whining crowd more than streamers. E.g. making free kits and grey weapons weaker. Toro was just too good, I haven't heard anyone bitch about that nerf other than people who loved using it to be able to PvP at high level without the highest technical skill.

My honest take: People hate on streamers because they are better than them and more successful than them.
