A lot of streamer hate here probably out of jealousy (Yeah, I get it.. you work hard, they play games for a living.. QQ). But this is why this is an important issue; Twitch is the number one way this game is advertised. When script kiddies and stream snipers make it impossible for someone to enjoy the game while streaming, there are potential buyers that pass on the game. And if you think this is low priority you are out of your mind. Hicks is constantly in streams, in Lirik's right now as I write this helping him find a stream sniper in order to ban him. He is close friends with Sacriel and takes input on the game from him. I've heard that there are fixes on the way to make it harder to track players very soon, with a unique identifier that will be changing every few hours. Rocket and Hicks both have streamed to get info on the game; it is probably as effective as their Reddit presence. Streamers are one of the main reasons DayZ SA sold so well, so I'd hold off on just throwing this off as a non-issue and save the "get a real job" rhetoric for someone who cares. As far as temp fixes, I would make a new Steam account with zero friends and get another copy of DayZ to stream on that account that no one can join.. and this is not full proof, but will buy you some time if you hide your server very well and change it often.
