I would definitely credit Youtubers for the growth of PC gaming in this day and age. Its turned PC gaming into a more connected community (as well as console gaming). As I told someone else earlier, PewDiePie has thirty-four million subscribers and Nintendo hasn't even broken a million. If he speaks on the subject, everyones going to pay attention whether they love him or hate him because hes the standard. Seriously, it doesnt matter what category of entertainment on Youtube, the man is the standard. |
You didn't address my statement about efficiency though. Just because more people see an advertisement doesn't mean that said advertisement will sell more games. It is also about how effective the advertisement would be. You kind of used PC gaming as an example, but one would argue that there are no advertisers of PC gaming, so it was an industry that would've benefitted much more from a celebrity than an industry that already had advertisement (console gaming.)
