so at the time of me recording this video escape from tarkov is the single most viewed video game on twitch with roughly NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN total viewers and this basically proves a point i made in one of my videos about how games in what i like to call the high-stakes shooter genre like escape from tarkov and hunt showdown are about to become the next big thing since battle royale one of the comments on that video said that these sorts of brutal inaccessible games where you permanently lose your supplies if you die will never be popular because they don't appeal to teens and young children to which i disagree now the point of this video isn't to dwell on that comment but to drive home a point about making video games there is no formula for success fortnite got huge by appealing to young gamers and casual audiences and now tarkov is starting to get huge by being one of the most sadistic and unforgiving games ever made the devs didn't run a market analysis and decide there's money to be made in games that make fully grown adults cry they just made the game they wanted to make and the reason it's becoming such a force of nature is because it has a unique identity tarkov offers something different in a stagnant sea of call of duty wannabes try to compete with call of duty and call of duty will beat you over the head with a stick called experience no one does call of duty better than call of duty and those that try end up like battlefield NUMBER_TOKEN now to be fair these numbers you're seeing on twitch probably won't last forever tarkov just recently had a new content drop and there's generally a lot of hype around the game at the moment but that will probably die down after a few months but the fact that so many people are tuning in right now just goes to show you how many people care about the game and the importance of a game having its own unique identity sorry for the short video today i'm still recovering from catching kovid last week but i feel a lot better now this week on my second channel we're gonna try to stream some rainbow six siege since i wasn't able to last week links to my second channel my twitch channel my discord and twitter all down below like subscribe bell and as always have a nice day
