Discord game streaming arrives next week, but Twitch shouldn’t worry

If Ninja’s jump from Twitch to Mixer taught us anything, it’s that game streaming is big business.

People like to watch other people play games and this is something that’s been true since long before streaming video on the internet.

In some ways, Discord is returning to the roots of all that by rolling out game streaming on its own platform.

Don’t mistake this new Discord feature as a Twitch or YouTube competitor, because put simply, it isn’t.

Discord’s game streaming feature – dubbed “Go Live” – isn’t about streaming to the masses and making money.

Instead, it’s about letting your friends watch you play games as you all chat about what’s happening, just like the good old days (kind of).
