I don't dislike him, nor do I feel like the OP is right, however I have to say that the OP is justified. The whole point of the bounty is for the watchers of the stream to get in on the action, and for them to be able to get the bounty reward if both they and Goth end up in the same game. The fact that he didn't do the countdown just shows that he didn't even care about the bounty. When asked about the countdown at first, he said "I'm not doing a f-ing countdown, no, I'm not *insert streamer name here*. You're gonna have to get lucky." The absence of the countdown completely negates the point of the bounty, as it's essentially Goth just playing Destiny normally, with a reward if you happen to match with him, which would be impossible as he set his stream to have a 26 second delay. While it was Goth's stream, and he was entitled to run the bounty however he wanted, the way he handled his viewers complaining wasn't how a professional should act, they are, after all, the people who pays his bills.

The point of the bounty isn't just for those who watch, and I feel that's a common misconception. It is, after all, a community event... and the community is much more than what you see here, on Reddit, and on the Twitch. I see where OP is coming from, where it can be annoying how he broke precedence but at the end or the day, it's an informal rule... so (being blunt here) he needs to simply get over it. He couldn't match them, which is unfortunate, but there is always next time when the event is ran. I was there from *generally* the start of the bounty, and he wasn't insulting or taking jabs at people until around the time the PS4 guys started giving him some serious shit for not doing the countdown even after reasonably explaining he was going to be doing so. In his explanation, he said it would speed up the process (meaning more emblem opportunity, if only by one or two games overall) and would be equally fair to people across the board, for both people in stream and not - both of which I feel are reasonable explanations as to not do a countdown.
