Owners of EFT get drops even if the channel have "Followers-Only Chat" on and they don't want to follow ?

 

That is only to chat. You do not need chat to get drops. You get drops for watching.

Focus on fixing game ? Nah lets just cater more to streamers...

Game fixing has nothing to do with this though. This is organized with PR department and Twitch. Developers are still working on the game and doing what needs to be done as always. This event has 0 negative impacts about EFT. Such events brings:

• More people: now you get to shoot at more people.
• More funds to BSG which helps hire more people, purchase more servers, improve the studio and grow EFT even more. Games cost money to make and after all they are also a business.

So, yes, this is actually contributing to what EFT can become in the future—an improved than before game. I am personally happy to see this and continue to see the growth and success of EFT all the way through.
