It still baffles me how Twitch is an actual business platform.

It just doesn't make sense.

Why oh why would you watch someone play when you could play it yourself or watch a walkthrough on youtube.

Hope this venture fails.

It's not about the games, it's about the sense of belonging and social experience through following a personality.

(I'm talking about the mass general audience for Twitch, many of whom are under 16. Obviously for the speedrunners or Melee fans it's about the game)

Was just reading about this, they have a long way to go if they want to go head to head with Twitch but if any company has the funding to compete its Google. Wonder what they will do to tempt Twitch streamers to jump ship.


Not ban adult games.

Huniepop party day one.
