Wow is 2nd on twitch with 141k viewers with classic beta.

Gotta be awkward for bfa that a classic beta outranks it’s viewers 10 to 1

[Chonar]

Who is Asmongold again?
Sorry, it's so hard to keep track of who's youtube important nowadays.

IMHO it needs to happen.
The penny just insnt dropping with them a lot of us arent happy the current direction of the Game.

[Charge me Doctor]

See guys.. no one gives a flying shit about classic..

/s

hype culture at its finest

[Unholyground]

Literally asmongold reached 100k viewers for the first time in his career. Once he beat DM there was a subtrain that was going for like 20 minutes.

That shows the value of classic for people. I think this game might just have been revived at last.

What I'd want blizzard to do now is to actually advertise classic a bit more so we can have young people joining this game.

Young people are going to give up, they don't exactly stick with things for very long.

Launch window views aren't much to go on.



I took this screengrab when BFA launched, FWIW. It was doing huge numbers during the launch window.

Honestly Twitch viewership isn't the most ideal metric anyway. If Asmongold and Soda weren't streaming the numbers would be way lower. Individual streamers have a huge influence on who is watching what. Also, people watching doesn't directly correspond to people playing.

I can't wait for classic but this is a fucking terrible way to measure any type of success, anytime a new game comes out and any big time streamers flock to it the viewer counts sky rocket, same shit happened for grand theft auto 2 months ago...and probably another game before that.

at last someone with some sense,ive said this before all streamers care about is viewers and money,there would stream shit if it got subs,when classic launches it will have big numbers untill the grind sets in an then numbers will plummit.and i will tell you now no big streamers will touch classic with a long pole,once again blizz lets its true fans down.

Why would any young people be attracted to join Classic?

The primary appeal of Classic is nostalgia. They should be focussing their marketting efforts on people who played, and enjoyed the original game.

The same reason young people played WoW back in the days, it's a good game. It's a timeless classic, young people still enjoy LEGO, it doesn't need to change, classic is the same. There will be plenty of young teenagers playing classic.

You have the real OG's who ACTUALLY care about it and have already stated will NOT be streaming when classic launches (soda for example) anything else is just inflation, of course it's "popular" on twitch it's been hella hyped, it will settle down just like all the others

[Jibjub]

I am a bit bummed about this phenomenon. I hope layering works out really well (or Blizzard has some other plan for server health other than paid transfers) Classic really isn't meant to be THE NEXT BIG THING. It is supposed to be a little more niche -- with strong, healthy communities made up of people who actually like traditional MMORPGs.

[Big Thanks]

Asmongold is forming a raid for Gurubashi Arena. Its going to be quite an event.

Payo and Sodapoppin are making a counter group.

The drama is real. I have multiple streams open atm

My favorite streamer Payo killed Asmongold...priceless but they lost the fight

[Release]

Classic will be a moderate success with a high peak then level out at an average number of players. The twitch viewers will be very high for a week or so then decrease dramatically before spiking in AQ events or MC world first etc. Many of the most well known and big games made by the juggernauts of the industry do this. You cannot determine Classic's success at this juncture or using this twitch metric it's nonsense.

[Varvara Spiros Gelashvili]

I say it won’t last long , keep in mind I like classic and BFA, not just saying it because of hate. It’s a boring game to outsiders.

What was wow viewer ship like on bfa launch?

[TigTone]

What was wow viewer ship like on bfa launch?

Don’t know but I doubt it was amazing numbers like classic beta had or (still has?)

[Varvara Spiros Gelashvili]

Some guy linked a screen shot of bfa with 600k and apex legend is dying despite it's viewership. I predict 1-2 million subs.

I'm a bigger fan of perplexity dude is a god on rogue. I've seen a couple payo world pvp videos and he does some clutch plays.

BFA did the same thing. WoW was top viewed on twitch. After a month or so it died down.

They will because blizzard kind of fucked up bfa so badly. Classic would never beat mop or wotlk for example.

[tikcol]

There's probably more people watching others play Classic on twitch than people playing BFA

600k seems to be a smidge more then 100k
