What is the deal with the old men streaming on Twitch? How many over 40 streamers are there? Are any of them successful?

Still can't wrap my head around twitch. Why watch someone play a game I could be playing myself? Part of me wonders if the twitch watchers are all little brothers--scarred from years of sitting on the couch and getting punched if they reached for a controller.

(I do have a 20 something in-law that streams Destiny 8+ hours every day. He legit makes $150K a year, which blows my mind, from just subscriptions.)

I'm talking with Steam right now, because I'm assuming what people will do will buy and then refund immediately. If that happens enough, they yank the game off Steam drat quick, effectively closing any hope of the game being on that platform.

I will buy a copy and never play it, but I support local, organically-grown video games.

I mean, we've got a subform dedicated to watching people play video games. Streamers you enjoy are certainly more interesting than anything I could watch on TV. And your relation making 150k a year is exactly why every over 40 something is trying to get into it.

No idea why you'd stream Star Citizen though, even if you hope to get in the ground floor.

Out of all the SC streamers I think WTFO used to make decent money off of it. One of the dad streamers that will remain nameless because I am not THAT much of a dick only makes ~600 a month off his near full time promotion of SC.

Use the book as kindling for a fire I can nap next to while Sandi's bullshit movie plays in the background. I fall asleep before the movie starts, wake up at the credits roll, laugh as Sandi uses a fake name.

I imagine a book written by Derek to be like those old "Choose your Own Adventure" novellas.
