    Can you monetize the streams? If not, there's no way in hell any popular streamer is gonna move from twitch.

    It's in beta. No decisions about monetization yet.

    Okay, I'm streaming DAI open to everyone. I'm on as vdmnjan or SirRobin. Wonder if anyone can see it since the game doesn't have a hub.

    uhh... it's streaming

    you have to stream before anyone can watch it
    so unless you decide to stream then no.. no one can watch you play


    also, i belive it will become big, and prob fast

    twitch requires you to use a third party program to stream and it takes a lot of time to set up etc.

    seems like with steam you have it all set up and rdy to go with the click of a button

    Not really. Someone just has to click on Watch Game when they right click your profile in Steam. Granted, both of you have to have the beta client updated for it, but there is no "start streaming" option.

    so when i play a game i use a ton of my connection on streaming the game for my friends to see?? and if i have a bad connection it's just tough luck for me and i'm unably to play online games

    that doesn't make sense

    unless valve plans to add a spectate mode to all steam games, then you prob have to start streaming before people can watch

    there has to be someone who streams the game, and having it forcing you to stream is insanly dumb and unlogical

    I can't really comment on how it works, as I don't know. I believe it will begin uploading as soon as you accept someone to view, if on invite only, or once someone starts viewing.

    What I do know is there is no start or stop stream option.

    There is a stop button once you actually start to stream, and you have to accept someone's request to watch your stream for it to start in the first place.

    Active accounts, not just registered. Per the press release
    Even you have to admit that active accounts isn't exactly activity measurement in itself. My steam is running in the background atm. It automatically logs in when ever I'm at my computer, without me browsing anything on steam (store, library, community, etc). I'm quite sure that there are many cases as this which would be included as "active accounts". What exactly qualifies as an active account to steam?

    Hence, I believe it is a faulty comparison between Steam's "active" accounts to monthly activity with twitch. Funny thing is, I actually believe that Steam has more average activity than Twitch, you just need to compare this: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

    There's 4 'privacy' mode.

    Invite only.
    Friend request only.
    Friends, no request needed.
    Everyone.

    It doesn't start streaming until you either invite someone and they accept, or you accept someone's request.

    There is a stop streaming button you can push.
