Uh, duh? I mean, I don't watch it, but it's pretty obvious that Twitch is a great indicator of the success of and interest in a product. Look at all of the top games listed there - they all made a shit ton of money. While I think posts like this are unnecessary, saying "who cares about twitch?" is a dumb response. Companies use twitch engagement as a tool to see what types of games will be successful and as a way to determine their own success.

Pretty impressive considering how fast BFA dropped in comparison when it launched. I find watching WoW streams incredibly boring to watch myself, though I’d rather watch a Classic stream to see more hilarity during events like world pvp. Streamers like Sodapoppin and Asmongold are really carrying the scene with just their personalities.

Its an okay indicator and shows classic is doing well, doesn't show that its bigger than retail x-pac launch. FF14 has a decently big player base so does ESO but neither get that many views. Originally Posted by Armakus

And that's the only point I can see trying to be made in this thread. That classic is doing well. Not that it's beating retail, or anything like that. Originally Posted by Netherblood

But it has to beat retail otherwise Classic fans can't get high off each other's smugness! Originally Posted by Armakus

Yeah, they want to watch classic.
Half of them want to watch asmonbald and would watch him on an adult site too.

As someone who has been playing both the last few weeks, let me tell you this goes both ways pal. Let 'em enjoy it, retail only players were pretty huge twats about how awful classic would fail for months up to release. Originally Posted by otaXephon

Yeah, just conveniently ignore the 2 years of "it's just nostalgia, classic sucks, everyone is going to quit when they remember how bad it is" from retail fans Originally Posted by otaXephon

Closing this as there's nothing to discuss other than be another thread taking a victory lap. There are other threads for that so please keep the discussion in one of those.
