Schism? I think everyone plays what they enjoy, and many play both. There are so many streams now that no one needs this paid content. The only possible option is what Tvarina did: he signed a partnership and runs ads. But it's worth mentioning his charisma; even when he's playing a fun game, and there's a stream of an important tournament going on at the same time, he still has more viewers. He keeps people watching until 5 a.m. with his charisma. Of course, it's always nice to watch skill improve. So, I doubt your idea will attract 1,000 viewers :yao: even if it's ATG versus Stinger, with Dirty's commentary. (No offense, these streams are for us, the connoisseurs. But most people can live without them.) There aren't that many hardcore Heroes of Might and Magic players; the majority of viewers are just ordinary people who don't need perfect micro or amazing turn management. They want fails and rage, a lively chat, etc. And all of this needs to be genuine, not forced or contrived. Tvarina, Amilu, Just, Psyche, sometimes Roma, and Sticky do this perfectly :peka:.
Golden words!
I can advise Merlin to stop theorizing and start doing SOMETHING himself. He can start small, "as an enthusiast," and then he'll see if it works for him, if he can somehow gain traction to earn a little from ads, etc.
I've seen posts from him before like, "I'm a great commentator, and I'd like to know how much my services could cost." But who needs you, excuse me? Start by monitoring the market: see what streamers of the most popular games are doing, talk to whoever you can, and half of your questions will be answered immediately, especially the question of whether it's possible to charge viewers.
In general, it's an amateurish attempt, nothing more.
Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
