PAYDAY 2 on Twitch — competition and audience

What is PAYDAY 2 about?
Two years after the events of the first game, the Payday gang relocates to Washington, D.C. to carry out a new wave of heists. After proving their capabilities, the crew catches the attention of the Dentist, a powerful middleman who helps them break their arrested member Hoxton out of prison and uncover the informant who betrayed him. As they take on increasingly ambitious contracts, including stealing a mysterious box from a casino vault, their operator Bain is captured by the Dentist and an unknown faction. With help from the mercenary Locke, the gang discovers the conspiracy behind Bain's abduction, frees him, and carries out one final heist: infiltrating the White House to steal presidential pardons for their crimes. In an alternate ending, the gang discovers a secret ancient machine beneath the White House and activates it, with Bain seemingly using it to transfer his consciousness into the President's body.






Should I stream PAYDAY 2 on Twitch?
11/100 · Closed off· 5 viewers per streamer on paperProbably not. The two biggest English streams hold 86% of the 21 people watching PAYDAY 2 in English, leaving about 3 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.
About 3 of the 21 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 2 each if you split it with the 1 other English stream below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #2.
Only 21 of the 25 viewers here (84%) are watching in English. 3 of the 5 live streams are in English.
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.
