All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
If you look carefully you can also see the amount of people playing Star Citizen in the Twitch platform. It's the "Streamers" stat. For example, NMS has had more streamers but they play for less time so get less "watched hours" and "viewers".
And if you compare overall twitch viewership/streamers = engagement of the top games in each genre it usually amounts to the "most popular" games too, that's not coincidence.
Most Watched: https://sullygnome.com/games/365/watched
Most Streamed: https://sullygnome.com/games/365/streamed
Last 365 days By Genre:
MMO - WoW, FF, Black Desert
Battleroyales - Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex
Competitive FPS - Valorant, CSGO, RainbowSiege
MOBA - LoL, Dota
Survival/Building - Minecraft
Sports- FIFA, NBA2k
Cards - Hearthstone, MagicTheGathering
All those games are on top because they are offering some kind of gameplay that the majority of the gamers from that genre enjoy that makes them converge on it.
Star Citizen Alpha is no exception.
When you're so invested in hating it lying to yourselves that the game has no merits is the only way to go.
Enjoy that lie. Because we sure do!
Yeah but it's the same with Minecraft, for whatever reasons people like to watch other people play Star Citizen. I see that with many Streamers that once played some SC where the Chat is always going "when are you going to play SC again?" over and over.
Not sure if the chat people are actually playing themselves though...
It's a high profile game with a high number of question marks attached to it. I'm not surprised people watch it. Your entire schpeel can be summed up with another correlation =/= causation tag. People streaming / watching a game has next to nothing to do with the quality of that game.
Once again, you can't make it through an entire post without being insulting and fabricating words to put in someone's mouth, though, so at least you're consistent.
Or they're all 5+ year old games that are feature complete and don't get regular updates anymore. Unlike SC which is updated regularly with new "content" but still falls behind categories such as: Virtual Casino and Roblox. It couldn't even beat out 9 year old game Dark Souls. Says a lot about the games popularity doesn't it?
Its a space game, space games have a niche community as it is so obviously ppl who dont like space games will play/watch other things, popularity on ppl watching games on twitch doesnt mean a thing anyway.
Twitch is just a place for bored gamers who cant be bothered to load up a game currently.

I can decide whatever i want but i never said anything about twitchs worth, i just stated one of its reasons to exist is to gather up all the gamers to view certain game channels or girls showing of cleavage, when they either cant be bothered playing a game at the current time or playing ones that dont require as much input, a good portion of the time the game on the twitch channel doesnt even matter.
