Maplestory is not dying, it is already deceased

Ok then you do understand something, it's fine if you say 1000 as impressive considering the circumstances I might agree with you as you properly used one of the most important points, but there are 100+ viewers on a single stream at teams, and it splits <60 between taiwnese streamers at time, being around 250 total on peak hours, look I understand that you don't see it as impressive even objectively but consider how unpopular maplestory is on twitch, it really is. It is popular on korean streaming sites, that was a single example really during a bad time, I can find you more and I am not sure what the sum would be but it would definitely be large, Yes I know, how could MS (on twitch) compare to them man, that's why I compare them I kept mentioning relatively speaking to the demand of ms on twitch and where these people are.

12 viewers by 5 is still fine, I understand you why you dismiss this as pathetic but it just isn't, this was very casual and on actual bigger times you have around 200 people on twitch at these kind of streams, along with more on sites that do want to see this game and in their own language.
I didn't say it was HUGE (on twitch) I said decent, ctrl+f the amount of times I said decent given once again circumstances.

No, it really isn't. there are games far more unpopular anywhere in the world with far less players that manage to have just as few viewers on twitch. 250 viewers on twitch has not and will probably never indicate that a game is doing well. Like i don't get how you don't get this, you can not use such a pineappleing miniscule amount of viewers as an argument for HEY SEE THIS GAME HAS pomegranateTY VIEWER NUMBERS, BUT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT IT THEY BECOME GOOD NUMBERS

No they don't

Have you considered the following, something i've said more than just once:
The viewers might be a small but loyal amount of viewers, if you had 250 people that consistently kept watching streams, that'd be cool and it'd show that there was a loyal fanbase, but does it indicate any kind of actual popularity? No. Does it indicate that the game is doing well? No.
Some games have niche followings regardless of their playercount.

It's not decent given the circumstances, it's not decent given anything.
It's just a small number for an unpopular game. I mean for crying out loud pineappleing TIBIA had like 500 viewers the other day, does this mean tibia is doing well because there's a small amount of demand yet 500 people still watched it somehow? No, it just means there's a small but loyal group of fans that still sometimes watch. Tibia is still a dead game regardless, its viewership has nothing to do with the activity of the game. Just like it has nothing to do with the activity of maple.
