Growing interest in streaming

Probably, yeah. I guess it's not such a surprising connection. When an update comes out, of course you want to know what's new in it, how it's going to affect the game. People want to see how streamers or professional players adapt to the changes, test new features and strategies. That's always interesting. Plus, these streamers can be a source of inspiration for newcomers who haven't had time to get used to new content yet. All in all, it makes sense.

I've noticed that after major updates, interest in streaming and broadcasting really increases. It's not a coincidence, but rather a pattern. When an update comes out, players want to see how it will affect game mechanics, and streamers become a sort of conduit through these changes. For example, on platforms like Twitch or YouTube, there's often a real boom when some of the popular streamers start testing new mechanics or features, including how it affects the game as a whole. For me personally, it always helps me to navigate which changes are really noteworthy and which ones might not be as important. Streams serve as a good source of information, where you can see other players' reactions live, as well as get useful tips on how to adapt. For example, I often read useful stuff on https://www.sportsgamersonline.com/sports/how-to-adapt-your-sporting-gaming-strategy-post-title-updates/ about how to adapt my strategy after updates. So, of course, the interest in streamings grows significantly when new content appears and something changes in the game.
