It is said: They had started paying streamers for “Sponsored Streams” and felt like they had “set a lot of money on fire” when they could not even stream. Therefore, a quick decision was made – most streamers had not even asked for this and should not be blamed now.
The favoritism was simply a mistake. Instead of giving viewers something to watch while they waited, they just made those who wanted to get into the game angry:
- They completely understand the players’ anger.
- They will not do such things in the future, but focus on ensuring that the next queue runs better.
- In streamer collaborations, Grinding Gear Games will ensure that they handle such situations better in the future.
No one likes people who cut in line
This is what it’s about: The problem here is that this favoritism is clearly visible to everyone, namely via Twitch. We also find it intolerable in real life when others “cut in line” or are treated better than we are. It’s no different online.
This was obviously one of those “quick, quick” decisions that were not thought through.
Hopefully, Path of Exile 2 is more thought out, they have some plans for the future:
Path of Exile 2 wants to compete with Diablo 4 and Blizzard – Sees itself at an advantage
There is already a conspiracy theory about Path of Exile that streamers enjoy special conditions, “streamer accounts” that receive much better drops than regular accounts – this has now been fueled further.
“The world is simply unfair”
This further heated up the atmosphere: On Reddit, players quickly got into a “pitchforks out” mood. Now clips of Twitch streamers were shared who wanted to cope with the attacks on them.
A streamer explained: Life is simply not fair. Everyone must clearly see that. If you are born in Africa, you have a high chance of growing up without clean water. That is also not fair. So it is just like this now with the “Priority Queue” for streamers in Path of Exile.
This did not go down well with the fans.
“Quite a big misstep,” says the boss
This is what the developers say now: The boss of Path of Exile, Chris Wilson, has faced the fans and takes the blame for the decision. It was a “quite big misstep” to allow streamers to bypass the really slow queue.
It is said: They had started paying streamers for “Sponsored Streams” and felt like they had “set a lot of money on fire” when they could not even stream. Therefore, a quick decision was made – most streamers had not even asked for this and should not be blamed now.

Path of Exile 2 wants to compete with Diablo 4 and Blizzard – Sees itself at an advantage
At the launch of the new season “Ultimatum”, long wait times occurred to access the servers in Path of Exile. However, the developers ensured that Twitch streamers could bypass the queue. This really angered the regular players.
This is the situation:
- Path of Exile is a “Diablo 3 was too colorful and easy, we are making a similar game that is complex and dark” project from a New Zealand company. The free-to-play game has developed wonderfully in recent years and now counts for many as the “flagship action RPG” that Diablo 3 used to be.
- Path of Exile regularly brings new seasons, which function like mini expansions. These are clearly the highlight of the year – the rush to the servers during a good season is enormous. Because at the start of a season, there are new leaderboards, the race starts over, everyone wants to play as much as possible as quickly as possible.
- On Friday, the new league “Ultimatum” started, which caused a lot of excitement. In the new league there was also gambling for loot.
Streamers are paid to play and allowed to skip the queue
This was the favoritism towards the streamers: The rush for “Ultimatum” was so large this weekend that a queue had to be introduced to ease the load on the servers.
The developers had paid some streamers for “Sponsored Streams” at the start of the season to promote Path of Exile on Twitch.
In order for the streamers to access the servers, the developers allowed them to skip the queue, granting them “Priority Queue” and letting them onto the servers sooner.
Streamer Quin69 could hardly believe his luck when he suddenly found himself in Path of Exile:
This was the reaction: As you can imagine, the “regular players” were quite pissed off:
- On one hand, they felt that streamers were “something better”. They could now watch them do what they themselves would love to do: play Path of Exile. Especially people who invested money in Path of Exile said: They are also important and support the game. Where is their preferential treatment?
- On the other hand, they criticized the developers for creating a distortion of competition if streamers start the season early and gain advantages.
Hopefully, Path of Exile 2 is more thought out, they have some plans for the future:
