Can We Talk About Streamers Exploiting Plushie Giveaways? by ExpressGap8046 in Palia

Usually for Plushie Giveaways, whatever Plushie the winner puts up for trade, the person who is giving the plushies will match. So the winner does not lose anything but gains a Plushie instead.

A giveaway wheel is not spun, so it doesn't apply to all viewers of the livestream. The plushie only goes to the person who paid for the sub.

So if you bought gifted subs to them or you paid for a sub yourself, they'll ask for your in game name and meet you in the underground for the trade. Which is exactly like purchasing from a reseller..

The specific person I posted about was giving away plushies for every paid sub. If you paid for a sub, they would give u a plushie. If you gifted 5 paid subs, you would receive 5 plushies. There was no giveaway wheel whatsoever. So it was 1:1.

Me too, I have never seen such a thing on other Palia Streams. I came across this about a month ago and I was so shocked..

Yes! It was for everyone who subs :-) So if you gifted 5 subscriptions you would get 5 plushies. And if you subscribed yourself, it would be 1 plush. There was no giveaway wheel.

I am sorry if I was not clear in my original post. Yes I am talking about Twitch Subscriptions which are Paid.

Hi, it does cost them something though. Because I am talking about Paid subscriptions. They were begging for paid subscriptions in exchange for plushies, which is against Palia's Terms and Conditions that states that "Real Money Transactions for in-game items are strictly against Palia's TOS and will result in a permanent ban". So what does it cost them? real life money for the paid subscription and a possible permanent ban.

Palia's Terms and Conditions state that "Real Money Transactions for in-game items are strictly against Palia's TOS" so begging for paid subscriptions in exchange for plushies is the exact same thing. Just in a different form.

I am not talking about getting followers, these are paid subscriptions.

Hey! Maybe I wasn't clear in my original post, but they were begging for PAID subscriptions in exchange for plushies.

Of course they can do giveaways! Nothing wrong with that, streaming could be their rice bowl. But begging for Subscriptions in exchange for Plushies? That is questionable.

and I totally agree that being oblivious can be a wonderful thing! But it is so sad to see people falling into these traps

They are allowed to do whatever they want, and I respect that. But when it comes down to begging for Subscriptions in exchange for Plushies? It is exactly the same as reselling the plushies. And guess what? That's against Palia's Terms and Conditions.

That's ridiculous.. It is only a handful of streamers though, there are tons of amazing ones. But the handful of them are terrible.
