What's wrong with monthly (good) streams instead of weekly (pointless) streams?
I could be wrong, since I don't watch let's plays, but to me it seems like there are only 80 people watching it for the sole purpose of spamming pointless questions.

What can they talk about in the Livestreams regarding 2020 DLC?... everyone already knows they are space legs, base building and atmospheric planets because of the 'leak' /s
One can almost picture the salt avalanche should those lovely CM's mention that the DLC is something else entirely
[...]
In that case, wouldn't now be a good time for that avalanche rather than have it taint the release?
That implies there's a possible future where the release isn't a salt avalanche.
This week's Thursday stream is the Hutton Truckers launching their community thing - you could say it's pointless as it isn't news about the next release, and isn't the devs spilling the beans, but I think the truckers will be looking forward to it (and it sounds like fun). Lots of different views of pointless.
You do get people turn up and ask about the game - normally there is only 1 or 2 spammers. The lunchtime streams can be a relaxing time if you're in the mood, but they're not for everyone.
There's room for fdev to do more - I would certainly like they to do more - but telling them "Don't do stuff for others, do stuff only for me!" doesn't seem a useful thing to me

You are correct. I forgot the starter experience (irrelevant to me but not to others, granted) being added in September, and cannot recall for the life of me what was added in April though (I shall google it). The last update I'd personally call a sizeable chunk of new content was 3.3, hence the 'annual' in my post.

Technically content - in the same vein as calling a peanut a 'meal'.

As I said earlier, ED is not a game that lends itself towards Let's Play and idle chit-chat. If the powers that be have decreed that all Frontier games will have a Let's Play, maybe the answer is for Paige & Stephen to role play it? Start the series with a backstory, eg "I am Cmdr xx and my goal is to investigate the Formindine Rift" and then play the entire thing in character. Kind of like Blind Pew on YouTube.
Just an idea...
Hmmm... I should have thought of that
I withdraw the comment in self-defense
If there are hundreds of people who enjoy these streams I would never suggest to stop them.You do get people turn up and ask about the game - normally there is only 1 or 2 spammers. The lunchtime streams can be a relaxing time if you're in the mood, but they're not for everyone.

After reading this thread it didn't seem like that.
Ah yes - perils of believing things said around here
Check the chat on the twitch stream Please forums stop turning this into a player, it's not useful. - I had a look from around 30 & 40 mins and it was mostly people asking questions and being helpful. I'm sure there were people being less happy at the start but hey - we're used to the forums, so we know how the world is
(OT: Damn - twitch seem to have broken the viewing experience - it used to be much nicer)
Right, they can show anything new: paintjob, artwork, concept art. Some hints of upcoming stuff.
Newsletter 92, which I received on 25 September 2015, talks about the whole of the coming Horizon season.It's like you don't have a point at all.

Frontier were happy to advertise the upcoming contents months and months in advance.
Pardon?? What new content have we gotten in the last 4 months
For real??? We are counting ARX and super cruise assist as new “content”. Get real
Warframe's Community Management is the #1 in the industry IMO. It would be fantastic if FDev's top-brass gave the great CMs the empowerment to implement similar informative/discussion content
FDev broadcast on multiple platforms simultaneously - Youtube, Twitch, Mixer - with the lunchtime streams (the topic of the thread) pulling ~300 concurrent viewers across all the platforms normally.
Based on the examples you both have provided, I look forward to receiving information on Q4's New Era sometime in August (as per Horizons' announcement) and September (as per newsletter 92) this year then
And if they are planning updates for 2021 they still have 8 months to do the same.
I think the takeaway there is that Waframe extras are Dig. Extremes main source of income, so they have to keep the game fresh and inviting. With FD, they don't have that imperative having many franchises pooled. While I would be very happy having FD do the same I think the people holding the money have a different model to work from.
In September 2015, Frontier was indicating the content that was coming in May 2016, October 2016 and April 2017. My point is obvious, Frontier know what is coming in late 2020, they must have done the bulk of the work, they choose not to tell us, probably for marketing reasons.And if they are planning updates for 2021 they still have 8 months to do the same.
