What is Borderlands 2 about?

Five years after the events of Borderlands, a valuable mineral called "Eridium" starts flourishing through Pandora's crust. Handsome Jack, the leader of the Hyperion Corporation, secures this new resource and uses it to rule over Pandora with an iron fist. Meanwhile, rumors of an even larger Vault hidden on Pandora spread across the galaxy, drawing a new group of Vault Hunters to the planet in search of it.

Should I stream Borderlands 2 on Twitch?

34/100 · Thin· 17 viewers per streamer on paper

Not really. Most of the 267 people watching Borderlands 2 in English are already committed to the streams they are on, leaving about 79 across 11 other English streams. You would start around #7 of 17.

About 79 of the 267 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 7 each if you split it with the 11 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #7.

Most of the audience here is not watching in English, is committed to the biggest streams, or you would start too far down the list to be found.

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.

“Recommending with a buyer beware. The Handsome Collection is broken. A bunch of dlcs no longer work because Gearbox is no longer supplying licensing files to steam to activate them. This problem is currently only partially fixable, with absolute goats on Steam…”
