Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like it is about watching some streams to get some items that don't affect the game.

How is that similar to making people spend money (often exploiting predispositions to gambling addiction)?

Once you've watched the required amount of time during the relevant periods, or gifted the subs required for the sniper rifle, you'll see a pop up to tell you and you can claim whatever you've earned from your Twitch drop inventory here.

To claim the Yasha sniper rifle you will need to gift an eligible Twitch partner two Twitch subscriptions of any tier.

Spend money on our partnership to receive “free” in game guns. They made content, you need to pay to receive, ie a microtransaction.

This is a bit misleading as the weapons have been added to the game for free after the initial time gated event was finished.

Ah yes, defend them for making a microtransaction And lying about them not belonging.

It’s not misleading, if I’m misleading they are too my saying what they are about microtransactions, they’ve done it previously.

They will keep doing this, and lying about it, since their fans will just excuse them and try to convince others for them. Give your head a shake lmfao.
