1 Facebook owns Oculus 2 Remember FarmVille or Plants vs Zombies?

• blackearl 6y ago
  Regardless of who owns Oculus, most streamers are on Twitch. I don't see how Farmville is relevant. Mobile games and Twitch streams don't see to be anything alike.

    No most streamers have given up already because without a network effect it can take a decade to turn a profit. Letting streamers utilize their existing social network is a potential game change for early channel growth.

    > I don't see how Farmville is relevant. Mobile games and Twitch streams don't see to be anything alike. Exactly. FB Gaming seems to be very focused on Mobile Games and other typical Facebook-Games (makes sense), not so much on Console and PC-Games. Considering the culture of users it also makes sense. Facebook is more for casual games, who play something on the side, but don't give much for the whole culture, dedication and stuff. Twitch is more embracing the whole core-gamer-culture and youth, making it quite hard to be accessable for everyone else.
