Let's go line by line here:

The playerbase has decreased immensely since launch. It's visible in every platform, and in the game itself. There's zero hype for the game currently despite marketing having apparently been put into motion. The first couple weeks this sub went up 5-10k members a day, and has struggled to go up more than 200 a day since. Twitch peaked at it's highest on launch day at 70k and has died down to 2k at most across everyone, any day of the week. "But social media doesn't determine population". You're right, it's just an indicator. But what's your excuse for the getting lobbies full of bots then? There's so much PR bull about "oh it's just a bug where we get bots".... lol they came up with that excuse once people started to complain about it. There is no bot bug. It's filling with bots because not that many people are playing.

People aren't playing because the game feels alpha at best, and the devs would rather tell new players an...

idk if you've ever watched while andy streams but all his keywords are supportLGBTQIAcreators, supportblackcreators, votedemocratic, etc. Which are great things to support, but I do not think they have a place putting politics into a game aimed at children.

If anything those keywords might actually hold some wait if THEY actually supported black and LGBT streamers instead of just giving free shit to Sypher, and playing with Marcus and Ohpee for the 100th time.

It's a weird grey area. Either it's hypocritical because they're not supporting the people they keyword for, or it's awkward because if they raid a black streamer then suddenly it seems like "we followed this guy cause hes black" type shit lol

Like I said it just has no place whatsoever as keywords to win a skin in a childrens game. Especially trying to tie a prize to things like telling people to vote one way or another. I'm personally liberal, and even the stuff he talks about on stream is inapprop...

We've never once said "Vote democratic" or anything resembling it. All of the other keywords I use, such as SupportBlackCreators, have zero to do with politics and align with our goals of creating an inclusive and welcoming community. It's our responsibility to ensure that everyone sees themselves as welcome and represented in the Spellbreak community.

We have convictions behind our belief. We've made donations to the NAACP LDF, have raised funds as a studio for the Marsha P. Johnson Foundation (on our personal time), and will continue to support causes that align with our studio values, such as Extra Life for Kids.

We are very clear as to the reason for the community streams. From the onset, we always clarify the purpose of the streams (to answer viewer questions and engage with players through viewer games and chat), and never market them as anything but.

The people who stream for you on Tuesday and Thursdays are part of the Community t...

Why are two of the best skins blind faith and hollow so exclusive? I mean at least make it so we can get one of them via battle pass. Jesus chris

Blind Faith was only available for the Limited Edition founder packs from 2018. They aren't given out at all due to being part of limited edition purchases.

Grind to become a big content creator or streamer and ive heard the devs will give it to you for free that’s prolly the only way to get it other then tuning in to the proletariat streams

We've given them away for a number of reasons. The first time, it was for people who found a dev at PAX 2019 and asked about it. After that, there were various quests we came up with during alpha/beta play tests, events, special things that have been done for the game, etc. Basically, it's an outfit that the community team distributes on a super limited basis in a variety of ways they deem fit.

The Hollow Outfit will not be in the shop.

I absolutely love this! Looking forward to what you make next! 👀

Hello there! Welcome to Spellbreak! This is the Hollow outfit, currently given out on our official Twitch streams. We have been discussing additional ways to acquire it, but there is nothing official at this time.

How are you actively listening to a stream for the giveaway announcement while simultaneously giving what sounds like an important presentation? It takes them like 5 minutes from the time they announce the giveaway, to hype it, give the keyword, and then have their bot pick someone, before finally announcing who won. And the keywords aren’t repeated in the same stream (e.g. itsohpee 5x). I also doubt they’d use tacobell as the keyword unless they had some form of endorsement or sponsoring.

But logic errors aside, people shouldn’t have to watch a stream for a dismal chance to win a skin. I get it though...that’s their streaming gimmick. Purposefully create a skin that stands out, make it super exclusive (while big streamers seem to have it), make people feel like they have a chance to get the skin (when the odds are grossly stacked against them), leverage the super exclusive skin via their streams, and put “hollow” in the stream title to entice people to watch, in turn paddi...

Hi there! I absolutely used tacobell as the keyword. We discuss more than just Spellbreak on streams. I believe it was lunch being discussed. The local Taco Bell by me was under renovations and a local was so upset that they drove their car into it, making the reno's take much longer than expected. Yesterday they finally reopened and I was super excited to go there and get lunch.

It's not just about the game, it's about community and having a good time chatting about all sorts of things. Also, it was not sponsored or endorsed. It was simply a keyword.

Not all big "streamers" have it, there are quite a few people that don't stream with it. We had other ways to get the Hollow outfit in the past that were not on stream but as of right now, those ways don't scale quite as well. We are looking into ways for more folks to get it but we also want it to be exclusive/limited.

Black screen hasn't actually been fixed unfortunately, the first match I played, me and my friends all used pyro and 2 of us got the glitch :/ Hopefully they release another fix.

Yeah it's appearing that it fixed it for a lot of people, but not for some. We're investigating what's going on. Sorry that it wasn't totally fixed—it's driving us crazy, too!

It was more the uh... sassy commentary that I can't stop myself from including rather than the notes themselves :)

I was totally expecting golf carts... or jump pads.... or even mech suits. Glad we're going a more conservative route. Me like, nicely done @spellbreak

To be clear, I would add giant robo-mages in a heartbeat if the team would let me.
