Proven to be the most famous video site on the web, Youtube will be launching the new YouTube Gaming that goes through iOS, Android and desktops on August 26. It is intended to claim another title as the most popular streaming site.
YouTube Gaming ventures huge on live-streamed and archived gaming videos , where the 25,000 games are in separate pages. The users will have an opportunity to get a customized feed of the gaming channels they will subscribe to. And when the channel is active, users can also get full notifications.
YouTube Gaming will compete the Twitch (a live streaming video platform owned by Amazon.com).
Amazon reportedly, purchased the site for nearly $1 billion , where Youtube failed to obtain.
"The opportunity in gaming video is enormous, and others have clearly taken notice. We're proud of what we've accomplished in the last four years, but our eyes are on the future. We are focused on building upon the foundation we've laid with the Twitch community, and incorporating the next-generation features the community has asked for. We are dedicated to being the best social, global, multi-screen video platform for gamers, period."This is what Matthew DiPietro of Twitch stated about YouTube Gaming.
A YouTuber named HikePlays, rendered help to make the YouTube Gaming more user friendly, as he suggested from a streamer's point of view. The YouTuber has a long experience with live YouTube business and streaming, as he archived his videos for a large group of gaming fans since October 2013. HikePlays said that, "I was streaming on YouTube before people knew there was streaming on YouTube," and apparently, he has about 1.5 million subscribers.
HikePlays stated, "There's a certain taboo that comes with being a gamer as an entertainer," "I was in the military, I was a programmer, I've had a lot of different careers. I'm not too young. And there's a certain taboo that comes with gaming that people go, 'Oh, you're a gamer. You have the easiest job in the world.' And that's not really true."
