Skins and such that cost as much as the game itself. The industry has gone crazy and consumers keep sucking it up.

Out of what? Like 5 extraction shooters? I don't get the popularity, it's pretty damn bland and shoves MTX in your face like crazy, but I have been pretty out of touch with the mainstream market for a while now.

Oh no. Affinity was a good paid alternative to the adobe shite, now this is going to turn down a subscription route after they get people hooked, isnt it?

Then your analogy makes even less sense lmao I see you are that type of person, so I wont discuss anymore. Good luck out there.

What kind of bat shit crazy analogy is that? ...but I'm pretty confident the people killed in the holocaust would rather guns never existed.

The only competitor I could see YouTube getting is if Twitch decided to chase that route. The only companies with the global infrastructure required for a service as fast as YouTube's are Amazon, Microsoft (and Google).

Microsoft gave up on Mixer, so I don't see them ever trying to take on YouTube. Amazon have Twitch, which as mentioned, could try to take on YouTube. But even with owning their own servers and just running them at cost, it would be a massive undertaking and investment.

There's a tremendous amount of work to do, that these companies are not going to throw money at for decades just to compete for YouTube's profit margins, which apparently aren't that big (if they even exist).

Sites can exist alongside YouTube, We see a lot of smaller video hosting sites, like Dailymotion, but something would have to go seriously wrong at YouTube for any of them to grow meaningfully and become actual competitors.

I'd like a competitor as much as anybody, but I'm just being realistic here. Don't underestimate the size of YouTube.

It's not like its going to help anyway. If you defend yourself from the crazies, ICE, whatever, you are just going to get shot anyway by someone else. They want that excuse. Being armed only really matters if a civil war breaks out. Its a crazy dynamic, which is why guns should be banned in the first place.

I'd rather Blam! be doing both.

Hardware well over 100x more powerful, but still 0.5x the split screen.
