   With the recent viral jewtube video "the wiggle that killed Tarkov" a lot of people would blame the downfall of battle state games and their signature title squarely on the cheaters that infest the game now. But as a Tarkov veteran I posit a different reason. Specifically twitch streaming trannies.

     However I would like to coin a new term specifically to refer to the downfall of games as the direct result of twitch streamers bringing attention to them. This is what I call the "Shroud effect."

     @Riamu i think one of the first times i really noticed how streamers destroy games was during the battle royal craze how it wasnt about making a good game that people like it was about making a game good or bad and getting streamers to play it and then bending over backwards to keep the streamers there like banning people who killed them there was a famous case where a streamer got killed by a person and went complained to the company says the person was stream snipping and got them banned

     I've played Tarkov for hundreds of hours starting in roughly 2017-18 and stopped playing around 2020. It has given me some of the highest highs and lowest lows of any game I've ever played. The gun customization single handedly was 10 years ahead of every other shooter game on the market when it came out. And they have only been adding more guns since.
