WTF?

I am totally confused.

People are just giving away money on the Internet now? For playing video games?

Even worse to donate you have to subscribe, which is a fee in itself.

this guy is streaming himself playing video games via online video through the twitch streaming service

people can subscribe to watch his video streams

these people who subscribe and like how he plays donate money to him

the right side of that screen shot in the OP shows the top donations, with the most donated so far being $20,750

people are stupid

So he has a webcam pointed to on him, and they are watching him, not the game he is playing? People are stupid.

nah he has software on his gaming system streaming the game real time as he plays it.

he also has a webcam that shows him as he plays the game in a separate portion of the screen that allows him to interact with his subscribers.

side note, I may be wrong about some of what I've posted since I've only watched a gaming streaming service a hand full of times. ya'll should check it out. several of those streamers live off of the donations they make

You know what's more fun than watching somebody else play video games?

I've heard of this internet phenomenon. When the whole gamer journo civil war happened a few months ago, I found out that people actually just donate money to some random chick on the internet who blogs.

This has convinced me too many teenagers have credit cards from their parents, that aren't monitored.

I like to watch people stream on there when a new game comes out. You don't have to donate or subscribe.

Edit: It's cool to watch speed runs too.
