I'm already planning on my little "set" for my streaming stuff lol, i think i'll move my PS4 from the living room to my home office cause it's more private(for my family i mean) that way if i want to stream only i don't have to worry about my wife walking half naked into the picture lol.

This streaming shit is something I didn't know I wanted so bad. No I feel like a freak watching all these people in their homes.

And we are willing...

Is this all it took? To give us the choice to do it to ourselves rather than forcing it down our throats? Take note MS.

That greek fable comes to mind about the sun and the wind. Persuasion is better than force.
Yes, these are the same people who flipped their wig over Kinect and the NSA. The irony is kinda lost on them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they make a PS4 app for live shows streamed through Live from PlayStation, Twitch, and Ustream.

There is no irony.

You don't see a difference between choosing to broadcast a specific thing over a specific time and being watched 24/7?

Of course, it doesn't matter because the NSA/Kinect stuff is false, but there's no irony in this.

On this, Shade Bettenhausen said this over Twitter:

"Excited to see what those creative streamers do with the rad Playroom DLC packs coming soon to PS4...."

So they [Sony] are probably going to support this kind of thing going forward.

There's going to be some crazy shiz broadcasted this way...I have a feeling they might disable Playroom streaming if it gets bad. But yosp likes the idea, so they can't be close to that end.

The difference between Sony and Nintendo on this subject is that if let say a criminal act occurred using this feature on the PS4, the Sony higher ups would say something like "eh, only something like .4% of people are doing it for illegal purposes our studies say" and Nintendo would be all "SHUT. IT. DOWN."

I love these type of arguments.

Two sets of people without a clear indication that there's any correlation between them are equated and made ridicule of. Really really great argument!

Yeah, I wish I could take site-integrated notes on individual users when they make ridiculous comments like that. "Goes out of way to defend Kinect" for instance.
 
So how do these Twitch and Ustream channels work. Are your views in any way monetized like YouTube?

As far as I know, views are not monetized like YouTube. You will likely need a partnership to make money unless you can build enough of an audience that is willing to donate via Paypal on a regular basis. My guess is that to get a partnership you would need a popular stream that consistently has hundreds of viewers and runs regularly. It would probably be a full time job to make it in the Twitch world.

Ads + Subscriptions. Once you get enough audience you can be partnered by twitch which allows you to get a subscription button. Half the money from subscriptions goes to the streamer. Lots of streamers also have donate through paypal directly options. Then add in any sponsors that the streamer might have, though this is usually only for really really well known streamers.


Nice to see the streaming becoming more mainstream though. Most my nights for the past year have been watching people play games than actually play them myself. Great bedtime TV.

LOL robots getting so excited.

I hope this shit gets shut down quick though. Or we might lose out on a good thing. I doubt sony wants people to see this shit on the front page when they go on PS4. Especially with kids could get lawsuits
 
All twitch needs to do is... their job. Playroom is not the problem; they don't need to ban the game. They just need to make sure their TOS isn't being violated.

And that vampire3030 stream is probably violating the TOS. But I'm not reporting it. Seems fine to me.

Edit: He seems to be screening videos before broadcasting them. He's toeing a fine line, and I don't think he'll get away with it. Jiyuna, I think, got banned for less.

Yeah but the problem is this shit starts appearing on the Playstation Live home screen, parents see that shit, it can be big news and lotta bad PR / lawsuits quickly.

Cheaters!

He just streaming videos from his laptop
