📝 Gamers Spend More Time Watching Videos Than Playing

A new MIDiA Research report reveals gamers spend 8.5 hours weekly watching gaming videos, compared to 7.4 hours playing. Discover how publishers can tap into this trend.

What’s Going On Here?

A new MIDiA Research report reveals that gamers now spend more time watching gaming-related videos (8.5 hours per week) than playing games (7.4 hours per week). This trend is especially prevalent among high-spending gamers, nearly half of whom watch gaming videos monthly. Platforms like YouTube and Twitch dominate this space, creating significant opportunities for game publishers to leverage video content directly.

What Does This Mean?

This shift underscores the growing influence of gaming content consumption as part of the broader "attention economy." Gamers are not just players but active participants in gaming communities, engaging with tutorials, walkthroughs, live streams, and esports events. Publishers relying solely on third-party platforms risk losing out on potential revenue, as advertising dollars flow to platforms like Twitch and YouTube.

MIDiA suggests that publishers could innovate by integrating video content directly into games or launching proprietary platforms. These changes could help capture ad revenue and deepen player engagement, offering new monetization avenues.

Why Should I Care?

For gamers, this trend indicates the increasing importance of the gaming ecosystem beyond gameplay, where consuming content can be as engaging as playing. For publishers, the findings highlight a lucrative but underutilized opportunity to diversify revenue and increase control over their ecosystem.

From a broader perspective, this shift reflects the evolving nature of entertainment, with gaming moving closer to a hybrid model of interactive play and passive viewing. Staying ahead of this curve could define the next era of innovation in the gaming industry.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

Step into the Grim Syndicate universe for a unique TCG experience then create your own character to dive into neverending dungeon runs and loot to choose from in our two featured reviews:

Abysswalkers offers a well-designed TCG experience with an excellent tutorial that immerses players in the game's lore. The graphics are solid, with decent VFX, though additional effects for character play could enhance the experience. The audio design is competent but could benefit from more distinct sounds for attacks and effects. The gameplay is easy to understand and has depth, but the limited card variety restricts playstyle diversity.

Seraph: In the Darkness has shown consistent improvement through numerous playtests, though it hasn't reached perfection. The graphics are impressive with clear visual effects, and the audio design features well-made sound effects, though the English version has some dialogue errors. The gameplay is enjoyable and easy to understand, with initial acts being relatively easy and increasing difficulty in the void realm tiers. The endgame offers hours of play but may feel purposeless once high-level items are acquired, although item trading could appeal to some players.
