YouTube has plans to overhaul its own streaming platform. It is planned that it will be focused on players. They want to restart during the upcoming E3.According to the western resource The Daily Dot, the target audience of the updated site will be not only those who stream games for real-time entertainment, but also professional gamers (and Google is already ready to hunt broadcasters from the eStorts sector).
The question is whether YouTube plans to take on mobile streamers within the framework of the new platform, who now have some problems with broadcasts.
For example, as of August last year, Twitch supported streams from only two games (Heroes of Order & Chaos and Asphalt 8: Airborne). There is also a niche Everyplay, which, of course, is completely different.Anyway, it is clear that the new YouTube initiative is a necessary measure, given last year’s failure of the deal to buy Twitch, which was outbid by Amazon.
