LEARNING 1
Each platform has its own
pros and cons.
LEARNING 2
A user cannot stream
effectively from his own
mobile device.
LEARNING 3
It takes a unique person to
stream. Must be funny,
engaging, able to build
community.
LEARNING 4
Streaming requires investment.
LEARNING 5
Streamers and viewers are the
people you want to reach.
SO HOW CAN I LEARN
MORE ABOUT STREAMING?
(MAKE MONEY FROM IT?)
CONCLUSION
 Partnering with someone who understands the
core gamer market + streaming is invaluable.
 Invest resources into building relationships
with streamers.
 Host tournaments and contests during launch
or major game update.
