Twitch: Seeking Validation Through Viral Victories
0Streaming services such as Twitch have permanently altered the gaming landscape and added an additional layer of challenge to the games we play. Beating the game and defeating the villainous characters contained inside of it only represents a portion of the battle gamers are choosing to fight… the larger mission for many is to gain enough clicks, views, likes, subscribes, and followers to hopefully go “viral” and gain the credibility that comes along with it.
The desire to achieve “viral” success is not limited to the realm of gaming… and it is not simply an invention of social media, either. But a concerning trend is emerging from this obsession with “going viral”… the tendency to believe that the number of clicks or likes that we receive not only validates the value of what we have created, but that the lack of “engagement” that we see for our creations somehow invalidates and devalues them. Join us as we take a deeper look at the "Twitch-ification" of gaming and a reminder that the same Lord who left the ninety-nine to seek and save ONE lost soul is calling His followers to do likewise... even if it is just for an audience of ONE.
