The official Gim Gams steam group

Hey guys, big update for now.


So we've been talking and deciding on what to do with the stream and we've decided that we're gonna stop the stream, for now. We're going to try to concentrate more on YouTube videos when possible and if that takes off a bit better we'll get back to streaming.

We came to this idea for various reasons, some of which are:

Twitch already has a very solid and unmoving viewer base, 99% of people who go to Twitch view the same streams over and over, we get left out.

Twitch itself quite literally kills small streams with throttling and downgrades, our quality and stability of streams have suffered greatly and numerously. If you've even watched the stream and noticed stuttering or inabilities to load then we promise you that this was not coming from our end, but Twitch's.

Our viewer base, we see a lot of people who watch the stream and leave without saying anything, or follow and don't come back. Breaking up the videos in to manageable chunks that don't necessarily 'require' interaction with us can help our viewer count grow.

Behavior, we notice a lot of negative behavior in Twitch chat and conversations that aren't relevant or appropriate, we feel this has no place in the stream as we want to talk with you guys but can't or won't talk about some of the weird issues we see. YouTube comments are a bit more free and we're not more obligated to respond to someone backseat gaming.

The games and us, we feel that a lot of the time we don't get any attention for what we want to play, whereas the stuff we don't want to play gets us attention, we're hoping that YouTube will also fix this issue by allowing us to chop up and segment things to be a bit more productive for us and you. This also includes skipping pesky load screens and cutting out those parts that require us to do some lame stuff.

We're sorry that the stream will be going absent, and we're going to try and do what we can to keep providing content that we find fresh and fun. Our schedules are hectic and getting our content out to everyone isn't entirely possible when we're all based in the UK, the ability to provide a 24 hour hub with the videos will hopefully help.


We hope that you guys decide to stick with us in this time.
