Stray Thoughts on Live Streaming
I don't know if the number of broadcasts has increased recently, or if it's always been like this and I just didn't know, but I see domestic streamer broadcasts almost every day.
When I was young, I wondered why people wasted time watching others play games. The only time I watched someone else's game was when I put a coin on the machine to wait for my turn or to see if the person in front of me would win.
Now that I'm older, it's more comfortable to turn on a broadcast and do other things than to play myself.
And for live broadcasts, it's definitely fun when the audio isn't empty. When I'm doing other things, I don't look at the screen, so I need to hear at least voices... haha
Reading and replying to chat while playing the game also seems like a skill.
I'm enjoying watching broadcasts from Yoda, Shoong Shoong, Shinobi, Freddy, Stage One, and Research Lab.
I don't usually watch live broadcasts, but after watching for a bit, live broadcasts of other games also often pop up in my algorithm.
Even when watching really old arcade emulation games or Street Fighter 2 broadcasts, there are hundreds of viewers, so it's a shame there are so few viewers for this. :(
