Super People has not yet been released but is already performing well on Steam. They have now announced the two popular Twitch streamers shroud and iiTzTimmy as playable characters, but the community is worried that the priorities are misplaced.
What is Super People?
- Super People is a battle royale game by the Korean developer Wonder People and is heavily inspired by games like PUBG: Battlegrounds
- However, there is a twist: all characters have superpowers, which can greatly disrupt the flow of the game.
- On Steam, the game has already recorded up to 50,000 simultaneous players, even though it is still in beta (via steamcharts), and streamers like DrDisrespect and shroud have already showcased the shooter.
- However, some recent decisions by the developers have caused dissatisfaction among players.

Developers give a sneak peek of streamer characters
This is the current status of Super People: On August 30th, the final beta of Super People ended. Fans of the shooter now have to wait until Early Access on October 10th before they can dive back into the action.
Perhaps the announcement on August 31st will shorten the waiting time for players and maintain their excitement. The developers announced via Twitter two new playable characters and also showed some first images.
These are the new characters: With Michael “shroud” Grzesiek and Timothy “iiTzTimmy” An, they have enlisted two popular shooter streamers and immortalized them as playable characters. You can take a first look at the digitized Twitch stars here:
What abilities the two new Super People will have has not yet been disclosed. It is also not known if more streamers will appear in the game in the future.
Frustration among players: “We need fewer cheaters instead of childish skins”
This is what the fans say: There doesn’t seem to be much excitement from the players regarding the new characters. Although there are some positive remarks and suggestions to include more well-known names in the game, many players have different concerns.
What bothers the players: Essentially, players are annoyed by three things: the servers, the cheaters, and the wait until Early Access. Here are some reactions to the announcement:
- PRATTZY asks: “Are we getting decent servers and footstep audio?”
- F/A x Kitten has had bad experiences: “These cheaters ruin the competitions! I lost my chance in the finals with some others during the Solo FPP tournament to a cheater.”
- Yourself hopes for more pace: “Guys, if you can work quickly, it would be better; otherwise, your player base will die. At least give us current updates about the game to maintain the hype.”
- Asith Pussewela doesn’t want to wait so long: “Cool thing, but October 11th, that’s still a month to wait to play the game.”
- JM doesn’t even get that far: “It would help if I could actually play the game and not get an error message every time.”
Some players feel that the developers are not setting their priorities correctly. One player believes that instead of “childish skins,” better servers, fewer cheaters, and a series of smaller improvements are needed.
So far, the developers have not commented on the community feedback. Perhaps they can use the time before the Early Access launch to address some of the issues raised by the players.
What do you think, were you convinced by Super People in the beta or are you rather waiting for the final release? Can you find something appealing about the streamer characters, or do you think the developers should rearrange their priorities?
Whether the games like it or not, content creators can no longer be ignored in the gaming scene. E-sports teams are also increasingly hiring streamers for promotion. Some can really benefit from this development:

Another agrees:
I couldn’t agree more. It is obvious they are not focusing on what is important. They have picked the worst date for the release and are focusing on nonsense like this. No one wants to look like a streamer they follow, that is a niche market and a waste of time and resources.
