Just curious, Gaming channels?

I'm just curious but why are there SO MANY gaming channels?
I think at least 1/3 of the channels I've seen on here are gaming channels! How come they're so popular?
If you're a gaming channel, What are your reasons for making one!

Thanks, Just wondering:)

Gaming has been a hobby of mine for...forever, since I was a little kid. Tie that with my love for graphic design, video editing, and acting like an idiot I thought it was only natural to jump in :D

I have so much fun playing games and if I can put a smile on someone's face while doing it, bonus.

Because they're the easiest to make. You record yourself playing video games for 15 minutes with more or less funny banter. And I guess people like 'em. So there might as well be millions of people making them, right?

I have to disagree with you. ANY type of video could be made with zero or maximum effort. What you just said could be applied to vlogs, tutorials and any other category on youtube for that matter.

Playing the game is the shortest part of the whole process. I put extra effort into my videos with effects, titles, cutscenes and I like to spend time on actual cutting and editing. Hell, one game I wanted to make a video of had absolutely no sound so I added every sound effect to make it more interesting.

There are of course many gamers out there that have a very simple videos where its just straight forward but you might as well go the extra mile if you're gonna make a video.

So for some of us, no, it's not really easy :P[DOUBLEPOST=1420116263,1420115656][/DOUBLEPOST]
ya but developers channels are 1000x times better because we give away free games and sneak peaks. gaming channels do nothing but play games that try to get money from it.

Wo wo cowboy, do you realise how much youtubers promote games that YOU the developer have made?

By shamelessly trying to plug your own channel you have slated the very people who would promote your game (for free I might add) by making a video of it.

But I guess we're all in it for the money... :O_o2:

Not everyone, but someone will.

I don't play the "top-ranking games" for my channel, I mainly focus on indie titles

Ease of access to get started and playing games is something a lot of people are already comfortable doing

its not that hard to get. youre obviously posting a witty picture of neil patrick harris holding a glass what looks like red wine, that could also be a fine chardonnay depending on the true color, to support and simply reiterate my previous statement. and the true story text must represent the american corpalists opinion on the ennui state of human rights in the middle east.

Correct?
