Basically what I've seen everyone stream on Twitch throughout the year.
Well yeah, twitch tends to stream popular games, because that's where the demand is. And that tends to add more demand, thus more streamers.
It's a constant Circle though, they stream what's considered popular but because they stream it more people play it which causes it to be even more popular
Look at lethal company as a prime example of that, if streamers never took that game it never would have gotten anywhere near the publicity that it did
And I think that's cool. One of the games I love (EU4) likely wouldn't have stayed relevant for so long if it wasn't for twitch streamers.
I don't watch much twitch, but I think it's cool that it helps keep games alive. I'm not into the more popular games (esp. FPS), but there's a lot of communities that are kept alive by a handful of prominent streamers.
Influencers are a hell of a thing
