They could be planning something, but notice that these are also the days after which they’ll have added the new challenges:
- Big Boom added July 3rd - Casino Chip Drop ends July 5th - Le Chiffre ends July 6th
- Purple Swimwear Suit Begins July 17th - ExDictator begins July 18th - One Too Many added July 24th
- Purple Wire begins August 14th - The Politician ends August 24th - Banana Blazer added August 25th
They’re cutting it close a lot, but it’s done in a way that if a streamer is streaming a new ET or a new challenge, they’re always going to be getting a boost from people who want the drop. Personally it would be nice to get a little extra pizazz, I think challenge packs or escalations could provide a good hour’s worth of stream to get people watching for the drops that’s why I made the Pitch Your Own Escalation thread but I also think they could maybe extend some of the times or add some sort of thing in the arcade which lets you replay specific levels or gives us 1-level only Arcade tracks during these spikes in viewership because I do think it’s a neat system but I’ve seen multiple times when streamers play this game for the new ET, enable drops, then finish the ET in ten minutes and have to waffle around for the sake of their viewers trying random stuff. Kinda kills the momentum
