Stream sniping is a huge problem for many streamers who play online games. Dead by Daylight streamer Slate shows how you can deal with it in a humorous way.
For streamers, stream sniping is still one of the biggest problems. Especially in online games, it often leads to annoying situations. The streamer Slate, who is known for his Dead by Daylight content, shows in a funny way how you can deal with this issue.
Stream Sniping: The Sword Of Damocles Hanging Over Streamers
What is stream sniping anyway? In online games, there is always the chance of accidentally ending up in a lobby with a viewer. This can have either positive or negative effects, and in principle there’s nothing wrong with it at first.
It only becomes deliberate stream sniping when someone intentionally watches the stream in order to get into a lobby with the streamer and sabotage the game. Especially in an asymmetrical horror game like Dead by Daylight, this can be disastrous if the opponent finds the stream and therefore has constant information about the survivor’s location.
Streamer Slate also frequently encounters stream snipers in Dead by Daylight. This happened again in one of his recent streams. Here, the killer spoke up in chat before the match even started, claiming to be “friendly.”
Now it’s no longer okay, because you’re watching the stream right now. You know that I’m working on this generator. You are now honourbound to not come to this generator. Because if you come to this gen, you’re cheating.
The argument seems to work. Everything he does, the streamer comments on in a similar way. The stream sniper is bound by his gamer pride, and lying in wait for him somewhere would be dishonorable.
Face to face with the enemy teddy bear, he repeatedly tells him to leave. They stare into each other’s eyes for a long time; the viewers hold their breath.
I’m not afraid of you. I mean, look at you, I’m obviously not afraid of you.
The killer moves farther and farther away. “Further.” Slate comments, emerging as the winner of the negotiations and showing how you can deal with a stream sniper in a charming way.
