What is Quake about?

The player takes the role of a protagonist known as Ranger who was sent into a portal in order to stop an enemy code-named "Quake". The government had been experimenting with teleportation technology and developed a working prototype called a "Slipgate"; the mysterious Quake compromised the Slipgate by connecting it with its own teleportation system, using it to send death squads to the "Human" dimension in order to test the martial capabilities of Humanity.

Should I stream Quake on Twitch?

4/100 · Closed off· 2 viewers per streamer on paper

Not really. Almost all of the 3 people watching Quake in English are already committed to the streams they are on, leaving about 1 across 1 other English stream. You would start around #1 of 5.

About 1 of the 3 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.

Only 3 of the 9 viewers here (33%) are watching in English. 3 of the 4 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.
