D4 has 13k CONCURRENT viewers on twitch 🍿

Thanks bodach, I misread that so badly I spewed beer from laughing.

I read “Date a mod is life support”

I wish we could have tag lines here. Id so make that mine.

Yep it is 7K players each making 1,000 characters. You sure got him.

Post it in the other thread about twitch arpg
He boutta look mighty stupid when it doesn’t fit his narrative.

Bro do you even know statistics? D4 is a new game. Wait for a couple of months and you will see your average D4 viewers drop down by a lot.

Elden Ring is a 1.5 year old game and still retains popularity. D4 was released about a month ago and is dying fast. Heck you should search the time where the D4 peak was reached and probably will match the time they enable drops meaning no one cared for the views but for the drops.

it’s already at 15k when popular games are 90k+ each

It’s clear the complainers are the people in the community who have the hardest time making any valid points.

This is comical.

Singular neuron.

20 characters.

Or it could be folks like me who created a bunch of characters on day 1 or 2 and then never logged back in - checking forums periodically to see when this debacle would get fixed…

Total concurrent players would be a slightly better metric.

its actually funny if you look at the D4 list, a lot of “D4 streamers” are just e-girls chasing a short-term trend. many of the rest are POE streamers who will be gone with the next season. you’re going to end up with wudijo (if he doesnt go back to d3 when this craters) and small-time streamers with a few hundred viewers and a total viewership <10k with D4 not in the top 50. Dead game.

I already know this and pointed out why Singularities metric for D4 being one of the top streamed is skewed. She did log off, and Diablo viewership DID go down to 15k. It is just proof they are interested in the person and not the game.

exactly, especially considering some games are just more watchable than others. I never thought ARPGs make for great Twitch content.

Damn defending 13k viewers and 2.2 user rating and then having the audacity to compare it to one of the best games ever made (Elden Ring) lmao.

I don’t get it what you are trying to say? More viewers is a good thing, it just means more eyes on D4 more feedback and overall more improvements.

I hope it continues getting all the views, it just means Blizzard will invest more into it and more into bettering it. I stopped playing for awhile now, but I cant wait to see how much it improves over the next couple of seasons.

I’m not sure if you are doing this post to spite people who give negative feed back or if you are just trolling. You sound like that other person on the forums, Singlerarity?

Literally me at the season start: created character, played 5 minutes, ran into invisible walls. Logged off, uninstalled.

This 7M characters created means literally nothing in terms of people actually playing the game.

Twitch views mean nothing.
Metacritic user ratings mean nothing.

Let’s be clear about a few things (I could just leave it with those two lines, but I’ll explain my reasoning).

Twitch views will ‘always’ fluctuate depending on what day and time you’re looking at them, so the numbers are extremely unreliable. For example right now if I go to Twitch here are the top 10 games:

  1. GTA 5 (254k)
  2. League of Legends (113k)
  3. Fortnite (79.3k)
  4. Valorant (79.2k)
  5. Teamfight Tactics (61.6k)
  6. Minecraft (60.1k)
  7. Remnant 2 (37.9k)
  8. Apex Legends (34.8k)
  9. Escape from Tarkov (33.1k)
  10. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (32.2k)

That was the list at the time I wrote this post. Now, will that list be the same in… 10 hours? No, it won’t be. Games will shift up and down as their viewer numbers rise and fall due to multiple different circumstances. For one it’s not a weekend, so many people need to sleep early so they can go to work or school the next day, and secondly because time zones exist. No matter how popular a game is, it’s not going to have record breaking views at 4 am in the morning.

On top of that, twitch views don’t determine whether a game is good or not. For example, here are some amazing games that everyone should play that have limited twitch viewership in no particular order:

  1. Final Fantasy 16 (2k)
  2. Guild Wars 2 (1.1k)
  3. Team Fortress 2 (915)
  4. Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (3.8k)
  5. Elden Ring (8.1k)

Are those games bad because they don’t have amazing amounts of twitch views? No. No they’re not. It’s just that people aren’t watching people play those games and that’s completely fine.

As for Metacritic reviews. Let’s just be really brief about this one. User reviews have often been used as a bludgeon to drive down the score of a game whenever the developers do anything the people playing it don’t like, no matter how minor, and there’s absolutely no quality control there on behalf of metacritic. They don’t check to see whether you own the game you’re reviewing and they don’t curate the reviews to make sure that low effort trash posts are removed.

It’s a rare day indeed when the Metacritic staff actually do their jobs to make sure their platform isn’t being used as a weapon by trolls and other miscreants. Until they step up their game and actually maintain a quality service, user reviews for any game will be worthless.

probs to OP and Singularity or what his name is, they always manage to create troll trigger threads and get massive amounts of replies (which probably turn him extremly on) but damn, that guy knows how to troll

Using twitch as any metric for a games success or failing is about as useful as wiping before deucing.

Case in point Sims 4 only has 4.4k viewers so does that then mean it’s a ‘lol de4d GaMEe!’? Because last I heard they’re still putting out regular DLC’s for the game every few months in which people keep buying.

Twitch viewership means nothing outside of… twitch viewership.

My friend, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

One wolf’s name is Singularity. He represents anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other wolf’s name is Bixby. It embodies joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

The friend thought about it for a minute and then asked, “Which wolf wins?”

The one you feed.

When you posted this comment, D4 viiewership went from 30K to 15K when the popular streamer stopped streaming D4 the other day as essentially all of this streamer’s 15k viewers stopped watching D4 on twitch.

I just looked now. The same streamer has ~15K viewers but for a different game.

Lol twitch views

Do people really care.

Thought it was gaming community and interaction.

Not gaming success score boards :rofl:
