i hope it's better then twitch
i've run into so many problems with twitch it's not even funny

[Regulith]

very informative

but will it have emotes???

[Slammer1337]

cool, i've been getting into watching livestreams recently.

[Willco2]

if it doesnt have kappa im gonna be pissed

[DJ Charizard]

Personally I'm not excited. Twitch is already well known and probably will be more reliable.

Plus YouTube's comment section mixed with live events never works out especially when you're trying to get live feedback and actually talk to your viewers.

it's not just livestreaming obv, it seems like it's essentially youtube optimised for gaming content. in fact, that's p much exactly what it is, and that's awesome.

yeah this will make it incredibly easy for nefarious evildoers to blast through all videos of their master works

hopefully the platform will maybe offer some protection somehow even though that's stupid dumb and doesn't any sense?

[Frequency]

lol forget that stuff

not even gonna last. Google jumped on the live streaming train way too late

if it's just some kind of backend to access gaming content it's probably going to just make things a lot more convenient, which is useful for content creators and users alike, esp. considering how massively youtube dominates the market for gaming content. i doubt they can compete with twitch for streaming but this will probably be really hard to beat for let's plays and the sort

And then when copyrighted music plays in the game suddenly your audio is muted or you get a copyright strike on your account.

i doubt it'll be much diff from the yt gaming scene now, just more convenient for everyone
