❔ Question Need help Picking A Game To Stick To Streaming While Growing

I have streamed for 2 years now with mild growth on Twitch, and recently swapped to YouTube where I've found some better success. I'm at a crossroads as to which game should be my "Primer" based on what's better for streams. The two games I have contending are Warframe and Black Desert.

Warframe gas done well for me in the shorts department, but when it comes to live streams there's anywhere from 0-4 people that pop in and out. Post stream views average around 20. The gameplay loop is fun and you can explore a lot with builds, but getting people to watch is the main issue.

Black Desert has surprisingly done well when it comes to YouTube streaming. Whenever I stream I'll have 2-8 concurrent viewers throughout stream. It's not the best content for clipping YoutTube Shorts, but the photo mode makes it very easy to make videos from any angle. The gameplay loop is more restrictive and repetitive, but players seems to enjoy the grind.

I want to grow more on YouTube and taking my next step very seriously. Which game should I stick with as my main while growing on YT?

Good question and honestly if you aren’t already established in bdo or have crazy long form YouTube videos that can blow
You up it’s gonna be hard. Like i saw a video the other night about a eu person with hella time in bdo sneaking into a na PvP learning guild as a new player and it was interesting perspective. Also the video is blowing up.

I’m facing the same thing with gw2. There is aion 2 coming out which I plan to main and make content about and there is also apple story 2. Maybe try and go hard for these 2 upcoming games and you could blow up with one making good content imo. More aion 2 than maple story classic

I'm not exactly established in BDO but I do have a minor reputation. Some people in the lunar halo chat recognize me cuz I've been playing for almost 10 years now (crap I'm old). BDO does have a creative angle that other MMOs can't replicate. But a good video idea does sound like the way to go. I'd just have to figure out what that video would be for me.
