Asmongold shares funny reason for why Facebook streaming will never grow Star Twitch streamer Asmongold gave a hilarous explanation when talking about why Facebook would never be able to grow as a streaming platform. Streaming platforms have been at the center of attention recently in the online game world as several top streamers have left Twitch to join other websites. Most recently, two of the biggest streamers on Twitch \u2013 Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek and Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop \u2013 joined to stream exclusively on Mixer and YouTube respectively. Before that, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins started the wave with his shock move to Mixer in early August. One platform that has gone largely under the radar is Facebook Gaming, mainly because it considerably lacks the star-power that the other three platforms now boast.

Does that sound like a good time? I would say it doesn\u2019t.\u201d For those that are not as well-versed on memes, the \u2018Gachi\u2019 that Asmongold mentioned is in reference to the two BetterTTV Twitch emotes \u2018gachiGASM\u2019 and \u2018gachiBASS,\u2019 which feature the face of muscle man Billy Herrington from the indie game Gachimuchi. The emotes are both usually used in Twitch chats to \u201cindicate pleasure or satisfaction in a similar vein to the Kreygasm emote,\u201d according to the \u2018KnowYourMeme\u2019 website. But all jokes aside, Asmongold presents a pretty valid point, in that most users on these streaming platforms want to have a clear divide between their life in the real world and their existence in the gaming sphere. Unless and until Facebook comes up with a way that allows people to chat and interact with streamers without having to use their actual profile name, it\u2019s hard to see them attracting anyone prominent to stream on and use the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
