Why not implement Twitch Drops for Planetside 2, maybe in the form of implants, cosmetics or something else? This would have both the advantage of boosting PS2's presence of Twitch, as well as providing some sort of reason to hop into the game at a future point in time to check out their rewards.

I don't know if there's any sort of technical limitation, but there already is some sort of reward system in the game (alert rewards), as well as the Twitch streaming function (although I don't if and how well it works).

Thoughts?

We've discussed doing something with Twitch Drops a few times - the tl;dr reason we haven't done it yet is that it requires dev/code resources that were initially 100% focused on Escalation, and recently been challenged with keeping our planned update cadence on track while also providing live support with our current work-from-home limitations.

But yes, it's definitely something we want to look into more in the future - perhaps for the next major update, which we hope to share with you guys soon on our next livestream.
