"Because the cunt is looking at my half of the split screen!" Ahh the age old problem of screen cheating and its modern incarnation the steam sniper.

I honestly don't know what people can possible expect when live streaming and then complain about it. :s:

I know a lad who streams pubg, apparently 15-20 seconds delay is the sweet spot. (And don't camp or stay in one location of course)

That makes it more interesting for the audience too when they move around, so it keeps things fresh.

i dont even think you need a stream delay, put up a overlay until your landed or circle spawns and snipers wont be able to tell if there in your lobby, i think they will get bored pretty quick if they have to wait 2-3 minutes to see if there in the right game then upto 30 for every time they get unlucky

Whose livelihoods are threatened by having a ten to fifteen second delay on their stream?

Most of the time twitch has a normal 30 odd second delay.
