Ludwig is doing another marathon stream, but don\u2019t call it a \u201csubathon\u201d YouTube: LudwigLudwig Ahgren is bringing back the uncapped marathon stream that shot him to stardom in March 2021 \u2014 but don\u2019t call it a \u201csubathon\u201d. This time the streamer is doing it of his own volition, with his own goal of completing Pogostuck 3 in one sitting, and viewers won\u2019t need to pay a dime to keep him up. Subathon was the word on every Twitch streamer\u2019s lips in 2021. Pioneered by Ludwig\u2019s 31-day broadcast which broke subscriber records on the platform, his entire life from gaming to gym to sleeping was documented for a month straight. When he finally went to bed in his red car one last time, he promised fans he\u2019d never do another subathon. Well since moving to YouTube, he\u2019s living up to that promise. Don\u2019t call his latest endeavor a subathon, Ludwig says, but he\u2019s going to be streaming non-stop for days, weeks, or even months starting January 15. \u201cThe title of this video was not clickbait: I am going to be doing a marathon stream, I\u2019m thinking. I don\u2019t know how long it\u2019ll go \u2014 I\u2019m hoping not a month, I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll go a month,\u201d he said. The special occasion? Ludwig\u2019s nemesis in video game form, Pogostuck, is releasing its third title on January 15, and he wants to beat it in one sitting on launch day. \u201cIn the past, Pogostuck games have taken me months to beat. The first game took me 75 hours, the second game took me 55 hours \u2014 of gameplay. How do you break up 55 hours of gameplay into a stream? Even if I play 12 hours a day that\u2019s five days of streaming in a row. \u201cI will not hit the stop streaming button until I have beaten the game. This will include, perhaps if I don\u2019t beat it within a day, some sleep streams. Maybe we f**k around and get a modcast going on. Sh*t is about to go down.\u201d However, Ludwig was very clear in saying this stream would not be a subathon. He doesn\u2019t want viewers to pay for membership or superchat him to keep the stream alive like he did across his Twitch broadcast. The related segment begins at 11:58. Instead, he wants to get this wrapped up within a day to really flex his gaming muscles. That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s opposed to running it a bit longer to juice the content though. \u201cThis is not a subathon. The stream is not contingent on you giving me money to stay up. I don\u2019t want your money. Maybe we\u2019ll have mediashare for the evening time, we\u2019ll probably have movie night, but this is purely based off my gamer skill,\u201d he said. Ludwig\u2019s next marathon stream \u2014 not subathon \u2014 will kick off on January 15 at 12pm PT, and could last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. Whether the sequel will be better than the original remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
