Since he couldn’t stream the game via OBS and the stream would have been “delayed”, it is uninteresting for both him and his viewers.
That’s why Destiny 2 partially forbids streaming apps: Shroud uses the streaming app OBS for his Twitch videos, and that is not allowed with Destiny 2. Bungie ensures that third-party apps cannot input code into the game client.
If he were to use the game capture mode of apps like OBS, it could even lead to a ban in Destiny 2.
However, this might not be the only reason: Back in 2019, at the launch of the expansion Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, shroud had commented on the FPS shooter, explaining why he doesn’t play it.
At that time, he used Destiny 2 as an example of games that include a routine formula in gameplay. You perform a specific task, and then you stand and shoot at a target.
He is not wrong in that regard. In Destiny 2, most challenges like Nightfalls, Dungeons, or Raids end with players needing to complete specific, tricky, and unique mechanics together. Only when that is achieved can damage be done to the weak point of the respective final boss.
Destiny 2 doesn’t just require good weapon skills: The most challenging enemies in Destiny 2 require more than just basic, albeit perfected, weapon skills. Shroud probably cannot showcase his outstanding precision skills to his audience in Destiny 2 in just a few seconds as he usually does.
Even in the Crucible of Destiny 2, a Guardian’s abilities are still a major part of the gameplay. Even if Bungie wants to shift that more towards gunplay, that may also be a reason why shroud prefers human targets. Fans will have to continue to go without a debut from shroud in Destiny 2.
Who is actually your favorite streamer for Destiny 2? Have you missed shroud so far or are you hearing about him for the first time today? What do you think about Bungie not allowing all game overlays and streaming app features? Do you think that needs to change? We look forward to your opinions in the comments.
Destiny 2 is becoming increasingly appealing to many players due to interest in the latest expansion Witch Queen. Also on Twitch. The very well-known Twitch streamer and former CS:GO pro Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek had to explain to fans why he never streams the FPS game.
The Twitch streamer shroud has tried his hand at almost every FPS. His gaming career started as a Counter-Strike pro before he transitioned to full-time streaming. After that, he demonstrated his strong FPS skills in other MMO games, such as Escape from Tarkov, Apex Legends, or Valorant.
However, there is one game he seems to avoid: Destiny 2. This game is actually as close to an MMO as a franchise can get. His fans, who were in his livestream on February 5th, wanted to know from him why that is.
Shroud explains, why he doesn’t stream Destiny 2:
Due to their [Bungie’s] restriction on how to capture Destiny 2 in a stream, I haven’t played it. I wanted to, it looked like a lot of fun, my friends were playing it, and I wanted to grind with them. But as soon as I found out that I couldn’t capture the game in the stream, I pressed Alt-F4 and immediately uninstalled it.
