Planning my essay
My essay is going to be on streaming/video game streaming.
It always has interested me because I have always found watching streaming and game play concept interesting, I have also found the set up of a steam very intriguing so I wanted to try it out for myself. I hope to gain insight on haw the top end streamers work and the knowledge of the software they use to create their streams and vods.
I have gained some knowledge by using the internet to research streaming such as streamsentials.com. I have also researched the hardware and the internet has shown on many sights that the desk top set up is more powerful than using.
A laptop due to the fact that the hardware can be upgraded/updated easier. I have also found out in my investigated that you cant exactly see sales on streamers but you can find sales on merch which is a popular way of gaining support from for there followers and can be used as advertisement due to people wearing their merchandise in public.
