Can twitch viewership numbers be a good indication of current game state?
Can twitch viewership numbers be a good indication of current game state?
no? why would it be?
Yes.
no.
If world of warcraft is any indication then no.
As a measure of game itself at a different time yes, as a a comparison between different games no.
No but MTGA fucking blows, I would play it if trading was in the game.
In the same way that Twitter is a good indication of public opinion, sure.
lol
What do people not playing the game have to do with how well a video game is doing?
Not video games
Why
I wonder what happened January 2022...gee it's almost as if a competitor released a digital client and the novelty of shiny new thing lured people away........
It still gets relatively good numbers on twitch and is currently in a death spiral.
They released a digimon tcg game?!
no retard
No nigger. Now catch this 12
Thats cool for January but for December and November?
Wotc introduced new Digital only way to play mtg in November- the alchemy. Basically its a way to take away your cards and not give any wildcards in return. Naturally community hated it.
i wish. looks like a cool game. i hope master duel gets others to make digital card games
It's a good measure of current interest in a game, but interest doesn't = anything other than interest. People watch because they're curious, or enjoy watching but would never want to actually play it themselves, etc.
If a game is such broken garbage that noone wants to watch or stream it then I guess it might be a thing, but if your game's already at that state, people are going to and probably already have found out without twitch anyway.
How do you know that
>but would never want to actually play it themselves, etc.
Wrong
MtG being shit is nothing to do with twitch views.
no, specific types of games get popular on twitch
I will take wow for example, people who play it do not watch it. It's a constant stream of people who quit concurrently checking sate of the game and leave.
> should I base my views depending on what racist pedo faggots on twitch do?
kek
Croke took a vacation at that time.
Not really, it depends on a lot of factors. Some games just suck to watch even if they're good
If it's a game designed to be watched then yes, like Overwatch
I browse /wowg/ :^)
