There definitely needs to be a healthy middle

Exactly and that is something I agree with and have preached since Vanilla D2.

villainizing the streamers because they have a different opinion is not cool.

I am not vilifying them for having a different opinion, as a matter of fact if it were just that I would be more inclined to go "Well here's another idiot with a bad opinion and move on". It's he fact that they are using their opinion and acting like they can speak for the rest of us...the problem is Bungie is actually listening to them and thinking that it is true.

If you are going to say you speak for a certain group of people then you should probably get to know exactly what they want before speaking for them....
