Official update for our community : We are not shutting down!
StreamElements is in conversation with an amazing partner aligned around one thing: working in the interest of creators and the community.
Your tools and data are safe.
We've secured funding while partner integration is underway, and pending creator payments will roll out over the coming weeks.
More information soon, i'm sure you’ll like it.

Buckle up, long post:
Ya'll know i try to always see all sides of a situation, however i really see only one side to this, and there is absolutely no wiggle room in how wrong it is.
First: I know a lot of people are afraid to talk about this- either because they're newly partner or want to be partner. This is a major problem. Being afraid to state an opinion for fear of being blacklisted by the community managers is in itself- A PROBLEM, and should be eye opening to anyone who is afraid of respectfully voicing an opinion on an open platform. I really hope Rare see's this an puts new guidelines in place. (I'm sure partners are told to not talk about certain things- especially when it comes to fueling drama (makes sense), but this is not simply drama.) And I- as someone whose application hasn't been closed or accepted yet, am going to talk about it.
At this point it is a legal issue, rare stated on discord that they are now doing an internal investigation, and they can't talk about it. (that I feel is valid) when dealing with something legal, you're really not suppose to show your side of things on the internet. As long as the investigation is happening, and rare is considering what the qualification process is for these esteemed roles- okay. Again- if anyone at rare reads this: It is NOT okay if any content creator feels uncomfortable voicing an opinion for speaking on an issue because of how to community managers tend to react/handle things. Especially in regard to something involving genuine concern for the CHILDREN in the community.
This community RARELY agrees on anything. I think we see today that we all agree that there is absolutely no space in this community for people who prey on or harm children, much less them being put influential place of power. As a mother I am disgusted that this person was promoted to boatswain after last years warnings from the community. (not to mention the hypocrisy in not only letting the pig picture slide, but banning people with funny harmless boat names for being slightly sexually themed.)
This is bigger than twitter drama- this is a horrible crime that not only deserves jailtime, but will effect the victims for years to come. My heart goes out to these children and I hope their parents are aware and getting them the resources they need.
Back in my early days in sot i was reached out to by a PI regarding my main duo and close friend. He told me/showed me my duo was preying on a fake decoy 16 year old in the game/discord. While i was shocked- that info was enough for me to block him and help the PI however i could. It took me awhile to recover from the fact that this close friend who knew so much about me was actually a predator. Freaked out, grossed out, and thankful the decoys were not really 16 year old girls. He was even using my name to put me down in order to gain these "girls" favor. Disgusting. Dead to me. (it's really that easy)
It could literally be anyone. I'm not going to assume that the team knew what bruno was doing (I would assume they didn't know), but red flags were raised last year- and for me that'd be enough to cut ties with someone. Because so many "shitters" are blacklisted, blocked, or ignored in the space- people trying to warn or call this person out went either disregarded, shoved aside, or ignored. Again- this is a problem. Get rid of Favoritism, get rid of blacklisting on opinions or emotions in a professional environment, and please require PR training.
If you are in your 30's you should know better than to entertain close relationships with kids- Innocent or not- Kids should not have close relationships with strangers on the internet twice their age. Period.
Parents: check your kids games and make sure comms are off. Trust your kids and don't overdue privacy- but maybe have more open conversations about discord and some monitoring of dms. Have conversations and warnings about grooming. This is dangerous and will effect them for the rest of their life.
the longer I stream, the more I realise that a good community is worth so much more than big numbers.
regulars coming back every stream because they genuinely enjoy being there is absolutely priceless, and I’ll never take for granted the time people choose to spend with me ♡
Ok I meant 50 hours but it works! Also if we could have our map progress be cross world. Instead of having to re-discover certain in game fast travel locations!
I have now just over 59 hours in @PlayWindrose and I LOVE IT! One thing I wish we could do is fast travel to our boat if we die boarding or respawn on our boat. It would make life just a wee bit easier.
I’m excited to see what the future holds for this game!!

Arc Raiders Dev Interview | PC Gamer
• Aggression-Based Matchmaking (ABMM): is not binary; no separate friendly or aggressive lobbies exist.
• ABMM mixes all players; outcomes depend on human motivations, not strict splits.
• Single PvP actions like shooting one raider do not lock players into aggressive lobbies.
• ABMM evaluates a series of rounds and overall PvP engagement for nuanced tuning.
• End-of-game surveys have zero impact on matchmaking; they only gauge round feelings for data analysis.
• PvE players feel betrayed by attacks; PvP players are frustrated by lack of easy kills—developers aim to balance both.
• Game never requires PvP; it's optional, maintaining tension from player risk.
• Live servers surprised devs: tests were hyper-aggressive, but many players cooperate peacefully.
• Emergent gameplay: "Sheriffs of Stella Montis" punish killers in night raids via street justice.
• The Matriarch and Queen boss fights were not intended for the full server to go up against and get equally rewarded. It is meant to be a couple of dedicated squads, maybe, working together while also dealing with other players.
• The Future: Tie more game loops (beyond currency) to Expeditions; we'll be able to talk about that fairly soon.
• Don't want people to be able to max out the entire skill tree. That's not the way it's designed.
• Very likely going to revamp parts of the skill tree.
• Allowing some blueprint carryover after expeditions is being considered but balances the progression power curve.
• Events such as Locked Gate and Hidden Bunker will receive adjustments to enhance player engagement.
• Arc Intelligence: Machine learning is literally only for teaching them to walk and navigate the environment. ML doesn't do any of their behaviours or their attacks. Their AI designers and our AI engineers control them.
