    First time watching a livestream on the TSW YT channel and I'm losing brain cells reading some of the chat messages. There's just constantly people crying on their knees for new locos or routes as if Matt and Alex are just gonna magic them up on the spot.

    Matt and Alex are literally just tryna show the roadmap and they've got people barking dlc requests at them with no thought process at all. One said they want the SWML with like 10 different EMU's included :|

    These people can't possibly know anything meaningfull about the game or real railways and how are they able to play the game. What's the minimum age limit to play TSW?

    It's always the way, and the annoying thing is, legitimate questions get lost among all the noise.

    How do they tolerate that, if that was my stream, they're perma banned (the ones with bad questions or 'orders')

    It's why it's better off putting questions on the forum.

    lol

    If a staff member sees this thread, pls tell me how you tolerate these 'lesser minded folk' in your live streams, it's painful to look at these messages

    I mean it’s who they market the game towards, look at their presentations & live stream behaviour. Making ‘67’ jokes etc.

    Just awful & every time I come back to watch one of their streams, it doesn’t take them long to put me right back off them.

    Alex just said the ultimate edition is TSW6-7 and the chat is going mental :|
    He's saying he didn't mean it and I believe that but no one in chat is being human

    Yes... It can be... Challenging (in the politest terms) reading some of the comments. I've often had this thought. But it's the ebb and flow of how things are. I've learnt to just ignore most of it as it's just gibberish and demanding ridiculous things. Although, there are some regular faces in comments section from the community who offer some more adult like questions and sensible input that balance things out.

    Remind me how half the livechat in the Dovetail Direct was impatiently yelling for Thomas' segment to show up while I was excitedly looking forward to all the extra announcements, which really were quite a lot.

    That DTG Direct was the worse stream I've watched for in chat spam, as stated above, it was just constant shouts for Thomas and what was all that 67 and W nonsense, got on my nerves - I might have to turn chat off from now on, not done in past in case I missed something

    I always turn the chat off and have done for years - it scrolls too quickly anyway.

    I think you will find many of these are grown adults! There have been some on here over the years who don't act like their apparent age. The internet and social media in particular seems to have bought us to this point.

    Welcome to "society"! Luckily, youtube has an option to hide the chat, you won't miss anything.
