Dan wrties - "The Xbox One will support Twitch live streaming, but what does the Twitch CEO have to say about this?"
Schick Xtreme is partnering with a couple of Twitch streamers to aid in the fight against childhood cancer with a new mobile game that allows players to raise money for the cause just by playing. Shave the Day, the free-to-play game that lets players pilot XtremeMan, the bald-headed superhero in his never-ending battle to shave as many heads as possible using his razor as a hoverboard, is available to download in the App Store and Google Play Store for both Apple and Android users. Launched on May 19, Schick Xtreme plans on turning all player's in-game points into real donations to St. Baldrick's Foundation, up to $250,000.
It took a little over three years but Escape from Tarkov (EFT) has risen to the top of Twitch charts in-part due to a drop campaign that began at the start of the week. Created by Russian-based developer, BattleState Games, back in 2016, EFT has surpassed evergreen titles/categories such as League of Legends, Fortnite, Just Chatting, and CSGO to hold down the top viewership spot on the streaming platform. Top personalities such as Dr.Disrespect, Timthetatman, CohhCarnage, and others have flocked to the game to get a piece of the action and try out something new while "veteran" EFT players, Shroud and Dr.Lupo, have been playing since the early days.
Nick Eh 30 invited Ryan Wyatt of YouTube Gaming to his show to do an interview about gaming at YouTube. Here's a quick break down of the key points.
Seeing what Google Stadia offers, and what they are planning with their release, it won't be immediate. But they will take over this space (even though I couldn't care about it).
I doubt it, the way youtube treats their content creators I don't see this happening anytime soon
Exactly. The gaming section of YouTube has been one of the hardest areas hit during the past few years in terms of monetization. Plus copyright claims are a problem with certain companies and certain games.
Twitch is not better they ban users for the tiniest things, yet allow people they are friends with to stream regardless of consequences.
I doubt it will kill Twitch Youtube is like a copyright nazi when it comes to games. If one of your videos gets a copyright claim it's either banned in certain countries or it won't be allowed world wide.
Their view of "infringement" is very different than other platforms.
Creating content based on a game for example, is considered in most circles derivative content, not stealing.

Streaming a game on Youtube just to have a copyright claim on it because of the in game music is stupid. I use to stream to Youtube I played Spiderman got copyright claims because of in game music so I stopped and stuck with Twitch. If you play GTA with the radio on bang copyright claim on Youtube Twitch only mutes the game music from the radio if you have a VOD and pretty sure Mixer does the same as Twitch. Twitch will take down the music if a band like AC/DC files a copyright claim against that streamer using their music without permission.
Can't even play copyrighted music on your stream for Youtube. Twitch will mute small portions of your vods but you can still stream with it.
this is cool..will use this alot while playing sports games.
MS did their conference exactly as a gaming conference should be done: Game after game after game.
You can judge the games whether you liked them or not, but the conference was stellar. I've never liked how Sony does montages for games instead of having at least trailers for each one just like MS have done this time.
This is an example of a great conference. I was only interested in few titles like Killer Instinct and Titanfall. Too bad the Xbox One has so many restrictions. I said in the past that a KI would make me buy a 360, but it won't definitely make me buy an Xbox One because the DRM stuff.
However, MS did a great job, and although I'm rooting for Sony and the PS4, I recognize that it was a really impressive showing.
i thought this would happen its a tough time for gamers especially xbox fans its hard to not be excited by the e3 conference but at the same time with all there restrictions how do u support such a console... i live in new jersey an last year when the hurricane hit we had generators but this new xbox woulda been usesless because i couldnt connect to the internet an cell service with no power that shit dont work either so much for ur hotspot theory... rockband an other games got us through the 2 weeks with no power
I'm Extremely excited to see exactly what features will come with this. I love live streaming, and im glad i can buy a console and have it built in!
