Day-Z is popular with streamers, and a large part of their content involves teaming up with other players. The majority I've seen do not disclose that they are streaming. Today, I heard one of Day-Z's biggest streamers intentionally do this while his unaware (debatable, but irrelevant) teammate spoke about streamers he likes as well as his own workplace. Streamers are great for this game and they were what first attracted me to it. However, I feel that privacy is being overlooked, and some players are being exploited. I imagine there are TOS on streaming sites to protect players, but if they exist, I can't find them and I haven't seen them enforced. I'd like to see something in-game to raise awareness. I'm not really sure what the best approach is, but here are some suggestions: A loading screen warning: Something direct that states fellow players may be streaming to large audiences. A clothing item in a unique slot, like an armband, that indicates consent to being used for content: This creates awareness and allows all parties to go about their game without breaking immersion. Rule-breaking would need to be addressed by server owners or the streaming platform. A setting that lets players identify themselves as players/streamers, and a server setting that can restrict them from joining. I realize that the solution would need to be practical. I recently heard players calling out racist slurs so that a streamer would break Twitch TOS. There has to be a better way, and I think Bohemia should play a part in the solution.
