Should I stream Earth Defense Force 5 on Twitch?

8/100 · Closed off· 5 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two biggest English streams hold 86% of the 14 people watching Earth Defense Force 5 in English, leaving about 2 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.

About 2 of the 14 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 1 each if you split it with the 1 other English stream below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #1.

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.

Is Earth Defense Force 5 too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 3 people are streaming Earth Defense Force 5, and the two biggest English streams hold 86% of the 14 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.

“Simply saying that this game is weird is not enough. It's one of those franchises that looked weird as idea. On paper. As a prototype. As the first game. Second. Third and so on. It's a franchise that stays stubbornly, almost zealously close to original, throu…”
