    It’s a constant Circle though, they stream what’s considered popular but because they stream it more people play it which causes it to be even more popular

    Look at lethal company as a prime example of that, if streamers never took that game it never would have gotten anywhere near the publicity that it did

      And I think that’s cool. One of the games I love (EU4) likely wouldn’t have stayed relevant for so long if it wasn’t for twitch streamers.

      I don’t watch much twitch, but I think it’s cool that it helps keep games alive. I’m not into the more popular games (esp. FPS), but there’s a lot of communities that are kept alive by a handful of prominent streamers.
