Big Elite Streamers Giving Up On Streaming Elite?

[Sheronimo]

I'm 33 - so at an age where I play with people, who could be my grand parents and as well with those who could be my sons. Age doesn't really matter to me, but I'm asking them about it, to adjust my pace a bit to them.

Tip o the Hat to ya. Not all gamers are as forgiving, or, flexible to the other players around them. Refreshing to hear your attitude.

Hey, I'm older people and I stream and watch streams not old by this forum standards, but I recently heard online "you're older than my parents" (and that was supposedly from a "tween")

I bet you're ancient.

"Back in the day when I was young when we wanted to see some PvP action live, we had a big war with the Jerries and none of this streaming nonsense."

 

[Decandently]

Wut?

I have certainly not unlisted or deleted my videos. The list of videos in the screenshot is exactly how it has looked since the first day I began on YouTube.

You should not make statements like you did. Especially when they are 100% wrong.

Are you sure, because I've got some old links to vids that say "this video is unavailable". But if you haven't culled stuff I apologize.

I've definitely removed some videos over the years for a whole variety of reasons. But I haven't removed any from 2014. All my original / first videos are still available.

Not ringing any bells. Let me know when it's exegious, Obsidian Ant, elite week, burr pit etc

Exegious last recorded Twitch stream was 9 days ago.

Let me say this, because I have you here right now - in my mind your videos are a true piece of art and I'm really enjoying them - keep up the good work.

Thank you!

I braused the catalogue for RPGs but couldn't find any. Not sure if Everquest is my cup of thing. Saw you feature Starglider 2, one of the few games I had no clue of how to play. I think it gave me a piece of lint and I never figured out what for.
Starglider 1 was more accessible - even beat that almost.

 

[Chaparral]

Does anyone give half-a-dime on streamers?
I mean watching someone playing a game? Is that even something that can be called content creation?

Why should i be wasting my precious time when i can spend that time to actually play the game myself.

Can't play while you're eating lunch. Makes the joystick sticky.

Maybe they should add a twirking animation then, for the kids

I, for one, welcome bringing cultural diversity to the ED galaxy!

One can, but can not also be civilized.

RPGs and Shooters are among my favourite games, but I rarely make videos on them. I've made a few on Black Desert, Outer Worlds and Warframe, among others.

you seem to need more practice with it

Obsidian Ant gave up on recording Elite Dangerous on Twitch. Last one was 5 years ago lol.

What really happened: Obsidian Ant trialled dual-streaming to Youtube & Twitch for six months (October 2018 to March 2019), and streamed a variety of games to see if becoming a Twitch Partner (i.e. subscription revenue) was a possibility for him and workable around his video-creation schedule. Streaming Elite Dangerous brought the most viewers for him. Twitch offered an exclusivity partner contract which if he agreed to would mean stopping streaming on Youtube (his main community). OA refused, and outside of the very-occasional streams he practically stopped outright on Twitch. His last Elite Dangerous stream was 30th June 2019.

[ZeeWolf]

he did well then, never abide to adhesion contracts - well, pubs often have to, but it is a bad business practice, like enslaving otherwise independent creators.

Personally I prefer the developer streams talking about the planetary tech or I would definitely watch streams about future plans for the game...... I also don't mind short news snippets like what OA does (despite the fact I don't always agree with him I do respect his view)

But as others have said I echo the fact that in general ED is not a good spectator game imo and is better played rather than watched.
