zealex.9410 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 GW2 placed: 2019 - 163 2018 - 143 2017 - 117 (PoF) 2016 - 103 2019 and one year change: WoW - 7 (up by 2) Minecraft - 12 (up by 12) PoE - 19 (down by 2) BDO - 40 (down by 3) FF14 - 41 (up by 34) ESO - 48 (up by 30) Star Citizen - 96 (up by 59) Whats interesting is the amount of growth mmos have seen over this year, for a scene thats traditionally not "twitch friendly" they hold pretty decent spots.

zealex.9410 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Obligatory [i dont watch streamers id rather play myself. I dont get why anyone would want to watch people play video games lmao. twitch success doesnt mean the game is successful. anet knows where their money for marketing is better spent. twitch culture is toxic and anet is smart to stay away from it. I sometimes watch gw2 streams but only right after a balance patch. If i wanted to watch an mmo stream id probably watch wow.] response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 That seems pretty good for an old. visually messy game considering the sheer volume of games that come out every month > @"zealex.9410" said: > Obligatory [i dont watch streamers id rather play myself.

I sometimes watch Rocket League players esport games and it's hugely entertaining seeing what skilled players can do versus my mediocre abilities. Certainly more entratining than watching a bunch of overpaid, whiney, cheating footballers run around a pitch Problem with GW2 is I can barely see what is going on in my screen let alone viewing someone elses!! The devs long since gave up on the visual noise issue and now throw everything they can to clutter the screen up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffler.1257 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 The pace of development for GW2 is glacial compared to all of those other games. You can't really expect Anet to compete when you can literally get a 4 year college degree in the time it takes them to fix a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoGhosts.6790 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I challenge you to think of 162 other things you might do; never mind naming 162 other games; never mind 162 other games you would watch someone else play. So yeah. Gratz. I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ots subjective but gw2 ia mostly an unwatchable mess in the pvp department, pve is rather fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trise.2865 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 163rd out of the tens of thousands of games played on Twitch is not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I am mostly curious as to why ESO is so popular in comparison. Last I checked the PvE was dreadfully boring to watch and PvP was janky as hell. But I suppose the massive ES community helps with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combination of twitch centric marketing as well as passive viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
