No , it's not. It's a game anyone can play at home on their ass.
This is more equivalent to a post-game Sports Commentator (there are thousands of those, spread out across all sports, and they are paid purely to look nice and waste people's time spurting the same old recaps / stale insights , in front of the cameras).
Most of these streamers are playing a game on camera that they have already pre-practiced and written commentary beforehand - not exactly a "new sporting event with real unexpected twists " like a football game.
If you think that ESPN Is a good value cable package , then you might be a Streamer Addict.
You have no idea what your talking about.
Twitch streams are like a chatroom where you hang out and interact with the streamer. A chatroom with a host. Some are pre-planned. Some aren't so much. Some are comedians while others are far more serious.
There are pro streamers like LordBBH who 1cc's arcade games
.
Or Lowco who is covering twitch issues like this breach.
There's people like Vargskelethor
who essentially like screwing around and making great jokes. There's a pro poker player who streams on twitch, Lex Veldhuis
Not the same. At all.
