Curse has tendrils in dozens if not hundreds of niche gaming sites, all with ravenously loyal fans with really high usage rates. When I was a kid I wanted to improve one of their data visualizations so I sent an admin an email about it and they never got back to me :-(.
Edit: I really hope their isn't a consolidation of gaming communities like Twitch is trying to do because it's only going to pander to the lowest common denominator, which in gaming tends to be absolutely cringeworthy.
- detaro 10y agoWith Microsoft buying Beam and Google maybe doing more with YouTube streaming, I'd say at least the streaming part of the market doesn't look like it will consolidate further, but rather split up more, away from only Twitch.
- Scfix 10y agoI will be interested who comes out on top. You really have 3 large backend competing. AWS with Twitch. I would think Beam would be hosted on Azure and Google do its own thing. I am not sure how much traction google is going to get, from my knowledge twitch pays much better than google ads, per consumer.
- Cogito 10y agoI hope that the market is able to support all of them, and we see robust competition. From what I can tell, streamers have no issue streaming on both twitch and youtube, and it mostly comes down to content restrictions as to which they use as their primary (twitch is fairly strict about streamers doing something 'creative', I think to avoid cam girl like activity).
