Insights on Game Awards Viewership
The Game Awards recorded a staggering 154 million live streams this year, showcasing the growing popularity of gaming in pop culture. This number surpassed the Super Bowl's audience, sparking interest in the comparison between gaming events and traditional sports broadcasts. However, the way viewership is counted varies between platforms, as gaming audiences often engage with content differently than typical television viewers. This distinction raises questions about the accuracy of the reported metrics and the implications for the gaming industry’s marketability.
