A look at the revolution in game live streaming and esports broadcasting
Каждый день тысячи людей транслируют свои игры для аудитории по интернету, используя популярные сайты, такие как Twitch, которые достигают более ста зрителей Иллиона. А аудитория может взаимодействовать с вещателями -и друг с другом -в реальном времени. Watch Me Play investigates the rise of game live streaming and how it is poised to alter how we understand media and audiences.
Through extensive interviews and immersion in this gaming scene, T. L. Taylor delves into the inner workings of the live streaming platform Twitch. From branding to business practices, she shows the pleasures and work involved in this broadcasting activity, as well as the management and governance of game live streaming and its hosting communities. At a time when gaming is being reinvented through social media, the potential of an ever-growing audience is transforming user-generated content and alternative distribution methods. These changes will challenge the meaning of ownership and intellectual property and open the way to new forms of creativity.
The first book to explore the online phenomenon Twitch and live streaming games, Watch Me Play offers a vibrant look at the melding of private play and public entertainment.

---Janelle Malagon, Popular Culture Studies
well worth reading. . . [A] timely, wide-ranging introduction to, immersion in, and analysis of, Twitch and game live streaming.---Helle Breth Klausen, MedieKultur
[Taylor's] work expertly builds a historical framework for Twitch and outlines how patterns of behavior have evolved on the platform without overcommitting to any last-word assessments of its influence [and] also demonstrates how invigorating academic scholarship can be when it tries to tackle a subject still in formation.---Jacob Merten, The Velvet Light Trap
