Yeah, seems like no one ever moderates those streams. :/ You can click the _ button to close it, though.
Or just put it in background, you don't have to actually watch the stream.

Those are from a previous Quakecon edition.
You will get these 5 items now.

Nope, those are wrong.
The one you linked has this below:
"item_internal_name: QuakeCon 2021 Advertising App"
i got other items and they have this tag: "QuakeCon 2022 Giveaway"
but QC23 Mini-Slayer for example and other QC23 .... items.

they mentioned Quake 4 - is free to claim on Prime ? now
but for which platform
Comment has been collapsed.
It was supposed to be available Aug 10 on GOG via the Prime Gaming rewards page, but it was removed a few weeks ago for an unstated reason, and no mention of if/when it would be reinstated. There IS Farming Simulator 19 for Epic Games Store via the Prime Gaming rewards page today.

Check again, it's there for me, claimed it already too. It's a gog redeem.

I am in the minority that prefers Quake to any other fps games. Hope I will play a story-rich quake V single player campaign one day.

funny that they would rather stream dead time on the main page, instead of streaming the Quake Pro league. It's beyond me how microsoft does nothing to manage the budget Bethesda wastes on Quake Champions while also not promoting the event either.

I'm shocked they haven't pull the plug on Quake Champs. Any company involved with it. That game is what you call stillborn.

im at least glad it happen, big fan of QC, great game despite circumstances. Just had no room to evolve.
I will say, Saber involvement always felt scummy, they never built a game they wanted to support, (they have their own projects i guess)
This mediocre Sabertech engine they choose, lack on features, no community support, Bethesda not getting ID partially involved, especially knowing that Saber isnt part of the group and would eventually stop working on the game. How did they end with an outsourced company providing the engine for a MP game you plan on maintaining, i dont know.
I will even say, once ID took over, it was even more clear they had no idea what worked for QC, took a while to get some decent tweaks to balancing. And the maps they brought absolutely didnt fit this game
Eventually i just gave up ,there's nothing else left to fight for,

Moreover, they've made a "relaunch/remaster" of the game, like they've done with Quake 2 years ago.

Should drop after 5 minutes of watching but a Steam friend told me he has the same issue like you.

Half an hour i've had this bs open. Aint worth any more of my time. Cooking with russian spam. I mean wtf is this
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe you need it watch live, when i alt tab after some minutes my translation isnt live anymore for example.

is there some way to refresh some cookies or something and get this going faster?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the heads up. Items dropped after 5 minutes for me :)
Comment has been collapsed.
To those having issues, make sure your stream is LIVE, mine started midway through for whatever reason.
EDIT: got it after having it open for 5 minutes in browser

Try watching the stream in the Steam client, that's what ultimately worked for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Left the stream open for a while and got nothing, then I closed it and a minute later the items dropped on their own. There's probably some serious lag going on right now in their system.

Going to the broadcast page it never loads the video, but on the quake general page the stream works.
This way also works to get the drops.
Comment has been collapsed.
I left it open over an hour but got nothing. After I closed the page and open again items dropped in a short time.
Comment has been collapsed.
do you need to have the market avaible to receive these drops?
Comment has been collapsed.
I spent already 5 euro on steam but market is unavaible cause i bought nothing in a year and i still didnt get drop, that's why i was wondering
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah okay, that's the other thing I was thinking of. You're fine, a friend of mine is in the same situation and got the drops.

"This Broadcaster Is Offline"
Edit: I'm glad they do this for several days. I was able to get the items next day.

Quite a late edit, but closing the thread now as the event ended long ago.
[unlimited accounts only]
Apparently no one made a post for this yet, so here we go:
Like the last couple years, you can get Steam items by watching the Quakecon 2023 live stream (for something between 5 and 15 minutes; make sure you are logged in - works both in the client and on browser).
Here is a direct link to the stream itself.
Edit:
For people having issues: remember it's for unlimited accounts only. If your account is unlimited (spent $5USD) but market-restricted (didn't buy stuff in x time), it still works (a friend of mine is in this scenario and got the drops).
Steam stream drops are often buggy. Yes, pre-recorded is fine, as long as the stream itself is live (currently broadcasting). If it doesn't work after hours, try purging your cookies, logging in again, changing browsers, using the Steam client... Reload, etc.
Today is the last day, not sure until when.
