Towellie was first introduced to video games when he was around eight or nine years old, when his parents bought him Rambo II for the Sega Genesis Master System. Towelliee started playing World of Warcraft WoW in He eventually decided to start creating YouTube videos as a hobby. He soon attracted enough viewers for him to be noticed by a representative from TGN.
He tried it out and discovered that he enjoyed it, as streaming enabled him to engage with his audience and to have an impact on their lives. He joined justin. By June , he had enough subscribers to justify it, he decided to pursue a career as a fulltime streamer in order to have the freedom to dictate his own schedule and content.
Towelliee is estimated to have over 4, Twitch subscribers. You need to have a strategy and test things out before deciding to become a fulltime streamer. Catchy stream titles are also a good way to attract viewers. Their agenda is to appear professional. Thus, anything deemed unprofessional is going to get you in trouble. This means, essentially, that any non-gaming content is barred completely.
This is NOT allowed, technically. Some streamers get away with it but I've seen others get reprimanded in the chat for not showing gaming content. It's only going to get worse. At about that same time, members of Counter Logic Gaming were claiming to make k a month each streaming, and that they actually lost money going to tournaments and winning them, if they had just put in a normal amount of time streaming over those weekends.
Although winning tournaments might make their stream more popular? In the short term, no- however, it does keep them relevant as time goes on. Hard to know without 1 longitudinal data and 2 surveying samples of their viewers. Your idea is highly plausible, IMO, but only that.
Hacker News new past comments ask show jobs submit. Dragon stand is where people truly blow their minds and find something in gw2 that other games will never be able to do. Meanwhile, PC Gamer posted an article about GW2 getting dx11 and several comments where about how the game is dead or they heard GW2 was closing this year. And the youtubers that started playing GW2 only have veteran viewers. This game need more advertising so badly. But even with that post you won't see many good pcgamer post about gw2 there.
Sadly pcgamer has gone shit, and doesn't try to be unbiased as you should be as reporter or news site. I really first saw that during the deroir and jp drama, pcgamer did try to defend her and blame it all on deroir and called it heated twitter exchange, and I got banned from posting fact there by the mods. The post about GW2 was possible or at least neutral.
I'm talking about the comments and the general idea people have about GW2 being dead. That post wasnt neutral, they said deroir talked somewhat rudely to her when not agreeing with story. This article didn't even post the rest of the convo. There wasn't any heated discussion. Must be a thrill to work with this Dev. Inks also gets shot down by JP on Twitter What is her problem? Here's some racist things she retweeted. Here's some racist things she said. I was talking about the dx11 post, not the one you said.
Also I'm taking about people's perceptions about GW2 being a dead game. I just gave one example but you can find those kind of dead game comments anywhere. I'm surprised. I remember that, I think from the supposed "big" news sites only IGN didn't pick a side and went with just the facts, which is weird considering they could have stirred the pot for hate clicks.
No, two reason, 1 she didnt make an seperate twitter for personal stuff and with an arenanet tag under her profile, and 2 she was doing an AMA with the community about character developement story wise. Reread the AMA post :. Its super unefficient! So i wouldnt really rely on "classic" type of advertisement, i think them trying to encourage streamers to play, and talk on shows is a good way to apporach it. Which is in fact what they do recently :p. The second approach really needs banger content though.
Like if they made 'the most epic raid the mmo genre has ever seen' or some other 'super unique stuff' that would attract news and streamers that in the end show off the whole game and its unique features. As a player, I'd obvioulsy hope for the magical banger content thing, but spending some temporary advertisement on streamers etc.
I think that is what they are trying a bit at least. It would be irresponsible to not use this platform. The tricky part like you said is getting people to stay and invest money, which could definitely improved for GW2. These types of comments have been around since literally day 1 of the betas. There have been active members in game saying it unironically, and predicting the game will end in under a year It seems like Arena Net has a really low interest in advertising campaigns and things related to that.
Also these EOD content live streams show how new they are in interacting with the public. If they were published by any company other then NC soft they would have had the budget needing for an amazing marketing campaign.
I can only hope they actually decide to do one closer to EoD. That being said they are doing way better than before, the elite specs reveal, the livestreams, the communication, the amazon prime, all this things are unheard of for this game so at least we are advancing.
Sometimes i wonder if its anet or ncsoft, for what i remember, back in the day anet had way more saying in the game and their advertisment was way worse than today. Maybe ncsoft is pushing anet to do more advertisement? Its really hard to tell, i just hope they keep getting better. ESO simply covers a more territory and players are more likely to have seen ads for it. It's on consoles, Steam, Game Pass, and has an advertising budget.
Meanwhile, I don't know how, but it seems like enough people on the internet unironically thought GW2 had died. I'd be curious to see. They each have committed players that are fiercely dedicated to their communities. ESO has the advantage of a far bigger franchise and fanbase by default of being an elder scrolls game. I'm torn on this. It definitely has widespread appeal because it's an Elder Scrolls game, but you're either down with it, or adamantly against it "because it's not Skyrim" in my experience.
ESO is on PC and two gens of consoles. I would be shocked if GW2 had more at this point. But yeah, still a VERY different game. They do not even try to pull people in, it's like they are afraid of their own success. Shit like that is why people unironically think the game has been dead for 8 years, Anet really helps perpetuate this stereotype.
Seriously, it's not even close. But at the end of the day, Anet doesn't want to be top dog
