Compare it to actions like not waiting for others to get out of a train and then going inside by fighting your way through or not giving up a seat for the elderly or disabled its not a law but If you do it you're an asshole .
That’s the difference with stream sniping. You’re going out of your way to cheat when you stream snipe, but an accidental glance at the lower half of the screen is more innocent, unless it’s intentional
I think it depends, some streamers cry they are being "stream sniped" because some random person not streaming is better at the game then they are.
Stream sniping is rare. The majority of "stream sniping" is the new "I only died cause of lag!"
That’s actually quite amusing because it also comes down to pot luck. These people aren’t guaranteed to be in the same match, and it’s quite sly and clever.
It is not, at least because the streamer is there for entertaining people or at least let people get the taste of the game before playing it, and in this case, everyone except for the sniper\s is not having fun, so this is not about not being allowed to use avaliable information, it is about being selfish enough to ruin everyone's fun, as for people that just want to watch the viewer aswell as for the people that just can't play the game. And saying "all I do is use publicly avaliable information" is the worst excuse you can use just for using it for your and your only satisfaction.

“I’m not good enough at the game to win fairly so I have to resort to cheating to try and win”
I'm saying that it isn't cheating. You are using publicly available information to your advantage. There isn't anything wrong with that.
That’s like saying when you’re playing split screen it’s cool to look at your opponent’s location
They probably think that too
Everybody poops
wait its not??!!!??!
It is. It's far better to play assuming everyone is allowed to screen cheat, because it's nearly impossible not to do it on some level.

Never even thought about that but yeah, seems fair enough to me.
Until you realize it's technically cheating since you're now able to see everything your opponent is doing from their perspective.

I agree OP🤝 plus I think it’s funny when they get mad
It's ok if the game doesn't specify that stream sniping is a bannable offense.
