Interesting-- that promotes engagement with the content, which is good for viewer metrics & ad $$. If the video is actually sponsored by the game publisher then it's a double bonus for video creator.
- Arnavion 5y agoYes, there's often speculation that the streamer is playing badly intentionally for this reason. Though Occam's razor dictates that it's more likely that the streamer just doesn't care to get good because they're only going to play the game for a little while anyway.
- lamontcg 5y agoThe streamer can also be optimizing for entertainment rather than perfect gameplay. So they're focused a bit more on being creative rather than optimizing their combat skills, and they try things you'd never attempt which occasionally go very badly (sometimes predictably) and its amusing.
