Do you agree that streaming games is a net cost for devs? I think for single player games, streamers should pay some royalty. Multiplayer probably not.

The only devs who should be upset about streaming are devs of things like visual novels, or certain JRPGs with heavy story and minimal gameplay, or AAA movie “””games”””, where watching a playthrough of the game is a decent substitute for actually owning the game yourself.
If streaming was a net cost to companies there wouldn't have been such a huge issue with undisclosed sponsorships on twitch that they had to change the site policy on sponsored streams, forcing people to label them as such in their titles. Hutchinson is just butthurt that more people go to streams to find out about new games than to his shitty blog site.

streamers need to die off, hopefully the based law won't get fricked with because muh digital rights
i can hear the hand rubbing in this post
i can hear the neet jerking his dick that has never worked in vidya industry or any industry
i know restricting peoples freedom for profit turns you on but calm down, shlomo
They have to work a 9-5 and retire at 60, so everyone must do it.
any "industry" is trash
videogames turning from passion into industry is why videogames fricking suck now
have a nice day
Video games were always a mix of passion and industry. There has always been bad with good.
I can hear the dilating in this post

it's either both or neither, better both
Lots of games wouldn't have gotten traction if not for streamers. It's simply a symbiotic relationship for free advertising.
It's a net negative for devs if those viewers are sated enough by virtue of watching the streamer play the game and not buying the game. There is a fairly strong case to make royalties forceable for singleplayer story games.
So if the devs didn't make a game it is a net lose for them.
put it like this
>Lots of women wouldn't have gotten sex if not for rapists. It's simply a symbiotic relationship for free pleasure.
>rape my copy of a game
>other zillion copies remain unraped
whatever
mayne if these homosexualS made actual games and not one big gay cutscene, this wouldn't be such an issue
>streaming games is equivalent to raping devs
moron
>Women's #1 fantasy for decades
>Most women admit to cumming during rape.
In all honesty, at least in regards to myself, it's not game streams that are a net cost to devs, rather it's the let's plays on youtube. There's tons of games I didn't buy because I watched some guy play through it, so what would be the point of myself doing so? The only exception to this are games that will definitely have divergent paths depending on the choices you make, or RNG based like roguelikes.
You're an idiot to watch a streamer play a game like that when there's plenty of no-commentary youtube channels that let you get immersed into the game like a movie and just watch the story play out.
For AAA yes for the most part. For indie no unless it's shit.
I bought a few games I didn't even know existed because a streamer played it and it looked fun. I can imagine others doing the same.
Some games break the mold. FFXIV for example benefitted greatly from streamers.
I can see this working for story based games (like The Walking Dead), but it doesn't help his argument when developers already pay streamers to play their game in the first place.
Why is this c**ts name familiar? I know for a fact that this isn't his first shit take.
now post actual devs blowing this guy out for being a moron
its a moronic israeli take just like any copyright and licensing
>should have to pay royalties
If I ever met anyone who actually thought this, I would force a boot down their subhuman throat.
I agree, streamers are parasites and leeches.
You know what, after seeing how much some of these streamers make monthly after the recent twitch leak
Yeah frick em
This b***hass was just upset that streamers like hasan and maximilian d00d at the top are earning more than 90% of the workforces at these AAA companies combined.
Guess what? That's your fricking fault for putting up with those salaries and working for these b***hass companies, homosexualass Black person. Stop being a glorified contractor punkass homosexualass b***h, earn your own money or shut yo b***h ass up.
>I think for single player games, streamers should pay some royalty
Then why very same AAA gamdev companies are ready to pay big sum of money to make streamer pretending enjoying their game?
frick i hate streamers and the fricking cattle watching them
He's right. If not the streamer, then the platform hosting them.
>NOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T FORCE ME TO PAY ROYALTIES I AM A "CONTENT CREATOR"™
>IT DOESN'T MATTER YOU ARE THE ACTUAL REAL CREATOR OF THIS CONTENT I'M USING TO MAKE MONEY
I hope, nay, I pray devs finally start enforcing this shit
Frick streamers, frick streamer simps
It's free publicity and the "people" who watch games instead of playing them likely won't buy them anyway
Only if pirates are treated in the same fashion.
Pirates don't earn money from others' work, they simply don't pay anything
If anything, streamers are worse than pirates
For the life of me I don’t understand why devs, especially devs of indie and story titles, let streamers just play the game through while zoomers watch and then form an opinion of the game (fr fr that game be great, watched a stream no cap) and never buy it. At some point it’s not advertisement as the streamers claim.
kinda true if streamer make millions from restreaming other peoples works without doing anything and making more money than the people who created the work there's something wrong
>sell game
>they play it
>NOOOOO IM LOSING MILLIONS
why is corporate america like this
