I’d like to share an experience that might serve as food for thought.

Someone once posted a video titled “The Worst Game in the World” in the comment section of my game. (The video itself is gone now, but the comment log remains.) When a spoiler-filled video that openly belittles your work appears, is there anyone who can honestly respond with a heartfelt “Thanks!”? I found out I couldn’t. I was bedridden for weeks.

Of course, if there are creators who genuinely enjoy having Let’s-Play videos linked in their comments, I have no intention of denying their feelings. In the end, isn’t the crucial point simply how the creator feels when they see that situation?

Totally Agreeable point here. Takes me back to the saying "if you aint got nothing nice to say dont say it at all" same if your posting about said game. I would never belittle a develop in my videos, thats not what "im" here to do nor am I trying to create a community around that basis. I feel you are right to that, but don't let toxic creators take you down. You are worth a lot more than "this game sucks watch my video" type of people. Gently stroll by and le the haters hate and the lovers love!

One more thing I’d like to add is this:
There are a couple of things I really hope streamers will keep in mind.

  • Not just following the game’s terms and rules, but also trying to understand why the creator put those rules in place. (Creators often write these terms with great care, trusting that streamers will respect them—even if they’re not sure anyone will actually read them. At least, that’s true for the creators I know.)
  • Instead of just dropping a video link, also include a proper written comment or review. (Personally, I appreciate a thoughtful comment—even a short one—more than just a bare video link.)

That kind of respect really goes a long way.
