goddamn I'm old, I barely have enough time to play games anymore let alone watch someone else do it and I don't even have kids. 

 

That's the idea. You can't play so you watch someone else play.

 

Or you could play while watching someone else play.

 

It's pretty easy to do.

I watch streamers occasionally to see different tactics for the games i play.  I watch a lot of BF streamers...some of them are just amazing. Its cool to see them approach situations differently and its definitely helped me improve my skills. 

 

I mostly watch:

Broken Machine

Stodeh

Jack Frags

LevelCap

I’ve played with Broken Machine once or twice in BF1. That dude is on a whole other level .

I have no idea how it will go, but looking at the stats right now just as Ninja starts his first stream on the platform, Ninja's stream alone has more viewers than the next 15 games on the platform combined. On twitch he was big, on Mixer he's almost the only thing. 

 

I know Youtube already killed off their dedicated gaming section, effectively ending their attempt to be Twitch.

 

I think this was probably a smart move for MS. I don't know if this is their last shot, but it certainly feels like an all-in push. If Mixer survives, it could well be on the back of Ninja.

 

I think one of the biggest issues for Mixer, and what killed Youtube gaming, is that people still mostly like Twitch. The problems with live streaming games are more structural than platform specific. People get burned out and have to put in crazy hours and have discoverability issues, but Twitch seems like they're doing a good job of making creators happy with the platform. They get viewers, they get paid. The culture on Twitch, for all it's many issues, is one where people are willing to pay creators directly, and that's a hard thing to replicate.

 

I don't really know what the secondary effects of Ninja moving will be, but my initial expectation is that a few people might try moving over to ride his coattails, but they'll quickly find they don't have an audience and will go back to Twitch.

Hes such a chill dude and he really loves the game. its almost relaxing to watch him just obliterate the opposite team. his tutortials on how he sets up his sensitivities and settings have helped me tremendously 

 

I also follow MBVgaming - but only on instagram. I dont think he actually streams, but hes another chill dude.

Im on the fence whether or not hes cheating. the dude is too good. he quickscopes headshots before i can even see the enemy on the screen. its ridiculous.

I've been making a decent amount of money the last couple of years because of eports so I say bring it on. It may be a bubble that's going to burst at some point but in the meantime,  I'm gonna ride the wave until the wheels fall off lol. I just finished projects for Fortnite and PUBG.

"Take The Money And Run" by Steve Miller started up in my head as I read this

Don't have a link to the tweet, but some guy from The Verge just stated that they paid him $50 million (!!!!) I'm sure that's just the potential value of the contract depending on benchmarks, but damn, that's a lot of scratch.

I'd imagine that the guaranteed, non-incentivized portion is at least $25 million.

Good news is when you have kids, they'll watch other kids play with toys on Youtube....you don't even have to buy them their own toys!

We'll see how well he does for Mixer the first time he says 'fuck it' and decides to play on his FFXI private server.

I was actually going to comment about whether this will do anything for FFXI's population because streaming it is one of the few details about Ninja I know, since I found it very surprising, but figured no one here would know about it.

 

Of course, I imagine it'll be the same as Twitch, where all the kids vanish instantly and it's now a tiny stream. But maybe on Mixer they'll have nowhere else to go!

This dude's haircut annoys the shit out of me

 

You think that's bad... skim the lower parts of Twitch/Mixer and look at some of the stupid hats and outfits people wear to get attention. I get it, they have to be "eye-catching" but some of it is pretty sad.
