I was thinking today about Sonic Forces and how the create-a-character feature was a brilliant ploy by Sega. The diehard fandom will attempt to recreate their original characters in the game, while Twitch streamers will attempt to create Sonichu or Coldsteel the Hedgeheg, for the lulz.

It made me think of what would happen if companies started creating games for streamers to stream rather than for players to play. Stranger things have happened in the business. It will create a different dynamic between game developers and game players that I'm not sure I'd like.
