I know some are caking, I'm moreso talking about the cats who aren't. Some dudes aren't anywhere close to that number in subs and are full-time streamers, literally depending on donations/subs to pay their bills.
If you are passionate enough it makes sense to put your energy into it.

All it really takes is a crazy amount of content to get your name out there.

Not necessarily, because a lot of streamers don't make Youtube videos. The content bit is more of the Youtube lane, to be a big streamer, you have to be good at games (hopefully), entertaining, and in a lot of cases get a co-sign from another big name in the streaming community.

It'll be real interesting to see how many guys who are struggling on Twitch make the switch to Youtube Gaming, and even more interesting to see if they do better for themselves once they switch. I doubt the well established streamers on Twitch are even considering Youtube Gaming, but like you said, it seems to make sense for the content creators who also use twitch to consider making that jump.

After looking at the youtube feedback on that video
:merchant:

I wonder if he's going to fallback or keep shytting on gamers.

Not everyone is going to make it, but if you are not at the very least throwing your content on YouTube is very foolish.

People spend HOURS on YouTube, you are bound to get some views just by being on there :snoop:

I watch games cause I like seeing them being played at the highest level. It was just a skit, people are way too sensitive nowadays.

There is a big market for it and Google, twitch, gamers etc are smart to profit on it but I'm with Jimmy, I have never understood people spending hours watching someone else play games, shyt is just weird to me.

It's less weird than people spending hours passively watching traditional tv and not being able to provide feedback.

Think about it, why do you think the younger crowds are flocking to content like twitch and things online rather than traditional tv?

I have an issue with people mindlessly watching the idiot box too :manny: it just feels strange to me, I would rather play those games than watch someone else do it :manny:

Of course you would rather play it and so would the people watching it.

Most watch that content to try and pick up strategies and interact with the community, it's more than just watching it to avoid buying the game. Nintendo and many of the older heads didn't understand it either, but were forced to lean back off all those copyright infringement flags they were throwing on YouTube.

Street Fighter, Starcraft, those games in where competition can get tough online are great examples of this. Not many Tomb Raider streams out there pulling good numbers as that's a single player experience.

This is definitely a generational thing.

But I think the term "game streaming" is so wide, it makes discussions about it unclear. There seems to be three distinct game stream categories that have carved their niches.

Live Competition Streaming = Things like DotA, Starcraft, LoL where it's person vs. person competition with random outcomes ... this is analogous to watching pro sports. We can all do these on our own, but we're watching the top 1% in the world compete against each other at the highest level. I think most people don't see this as weird.

Twitch "Social" Streaming = This is where it's like 50% someone playing a game and 50% the person interacting with the chat box. This is analogous to sports talk radio. The main content could be the topic (e.g. sports or a game) or the live feedback loop (chat box/radio call ins). I think if you explain this to the older generation, it would make sense to the them.

Game Walkthroughs = You are literally watching someone play a game and they give a stream of conscience commentary over the top. They range from people trying to be funny, to people trying to do speed runs, to people trying to show techniques. This would be the equivalent of watching Steph Curry shoot 500 3's in practice (for the serious version), or watching a team practice random trick shots (for the comedy version). If your a crazy fan you watch it and enjoy it, if not, it literally makes no sense.

I understand the concept, but I could never sit and watch someone play a game.

Also, the gamer reaction is pretty over-the-top. The more known this gets and the more people realize the $$$ being pulled in, it'll get parodied more often on other outlets like Fallon, SNL, etc.

Gamers shoulda just hit him with the :umad:

It's no worse than watching people have sex online. :manny:


Eh...I wouldn't make that comparison because people are more than likely beating their shyt.

I'd say watching sports. :ehh:
