Amazing, can't wait to see how this game will perform!



New games always get viewed a lot but that is good because like you said good publicity. This is a first for the series and that's so good.

Wonder when these threads will stop. It's nothing unusual for high profile games to end up on a top position on Twitch. That's how Twitch streamers operate. You get the highest views if you play something brand new. Certain Twitch streamers do alone 30k views and upwards, so put a few top streamers on one game and you already have easy 100k views regardless if the audience is actually interested in the game or not.
MHW is right now at 150k viewers. The top 5 streams alone make up 60k of that. BTW Counter Strike is currently at 330k viewers.

What I'm saying is that Twitch views on launch day mean absolutely nothing. Check back in a week and see if it's even still in the top 10.

Annnd now it's back to CSGO



Damn that jumped back quite a lot.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Mean nothing? So it's not like good publicity or anything? Riiiiight. 

 

The series is getting way more hype this launch then ever before and this metric is just another that proves that. All without a pc release anytime soon aswell. 



SFV is popular than I thought.

Yes it means nothing. The most popular streamers are multi game streamers. People tune in to see them play games. It doesn't matter which game it is. So it might give the game some publicity and it might not. That's why it means shit. They will play the game for a few days and then move on. Every single high profile game goes through the same cycle. Only very few are actually popular enough to stick.

MHW and any other freshly released game does not get high views because people are actively searching for it or want to tune it, it's because multiple streamers pick up the same game at the same time because it's the latest hot thing. The majority of the people watching won't even consider buying it. The only publicity going around is for the streamers and not the game.
