Your thoughts on Alex Hutchinson's tweets.

[Streamer]

Stadia seems to be trending on Twitter... and not for the right reasons. For those wondering, I attached the tweets below.

I disagree with his statements, as I see more benefits to the current model, in an ecosystem where developers benefit a lot from content creators(and vice versa)... Although, I can see a certain side where his argument does make sense. What do you guys think?

Some people should just think before they tweet. Where's the logic? A streamer buys a license for a game and streams him/herself playing the game on YouTube. Is the free advertisement the streamer makes for the game dev/publisher, not extra payment enough? Streamers do a much better job of showing what a game is about than the lousy over the top trailers game studios create. If one thing the game devs should give these streamers their games for free so they can get it showcased and promoted for free as well. And if you still live in the greed-filled corporate mindset you as a game dev should actually pay the streamer for advertising your games. 

And instead of being difficult with streamers using music. YouTube has these amazing algorithms that 'always correctly' identify music. Put the name of the song as an overlay on the video with a link to where to buy the music. Artists should be happy at least some people find their music decent enough to put in a video.

I congratulate Google for making the minority happy.
