City of Heroes on Twitch — competition and audience

City of Heroes was a superhero based MMORPG that ran from April 2004 to November 2012. In April 2019, source code capable of running a City of Heroes server was distributed widely. This made it possible to create City of Heroes servers outside the direct purview of NCSoft and revived interest in the game, which by then had been out of development for more than six years. As of January 2024, NCSoft has not moved to have servers based on this source code shut down. On January 4, 2024, NCSoft officially granted Homecoming Servers LLC who operated the rogue server Homecoming: City of Heroes an official license to host the game.

Should I stream City of Heroes on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 2 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two English streams here hold all 4 English viewers — once you take them out there is nothing left to reach.

The two English streams here hold all 4 English viewers between them. Take them out and nothing is left to reach.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

How many people stream City of Heroes?

Right now

2 right now, to 4 viewers between them. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is City of Heroes too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 2 people are streaming City of Heroes, and the two English streams hold all 4 English viewers between them — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
