World War Z’s Twitch viewership has –rather predictably– sunk like a stone since its initial launch two days ago. After peaking at 133,000 concurrent viewers, over 80% of the audience has since disappeared. The sudden drop has meant one Epic Games Store developer’s gloating tweet hasn’t aged very well.
末日Z戰上市首日在Twitch上達到133000的同時觀看人數後，
出乎意料地只用兩天就如沉入水中的石頭般失去了八成的觀眾，
意味著轉投Epic商店開發商的出師不利。
Epic’s Chief of Publishing Strategy Sergey Galyonkin took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that World War Z was sitting in third place as the most watched game on Twitch and that three of the games in the top 10 were Epic Games Store exclusives. The caption to his ‘data’ read “welcome to the multi-store world.”
Epic的發行策略主管在週二時還在推特上表示，末日Z戰在Twitch上觀看時數排名第三，並且前10有3個是Epic獨佔，象徵著多店面競爭時代的到來。
Reddit certainly wasn’t impressed, calling the claims “bias” and “unsubstantiated.” What’s more, almost inevitably the day-one interest in World War Z has seen the game’s Twitch presence fade almost to irrelevance within 48 hours. At the time of writing, World War Z is being watched by just over two thousand people. Quite the drop.
Reddit對此不以為然，認為此看法充滿偏誤，將會是曇花一現。在48小時後，末日Z戰快速消聲匿跡，截止本文時間點僅剩兩千餘觀眾。
Notably, statistic site GitHyp claims that Saber Interactive actually paid some of Twitch’s top streamers to play World War Z on its second day to help keep viewership numbers from declining. If that’s true then Galyonkin’s Tweet is likely to leave an even more sour taste in the mouth of disgruntled PC gamers.
值得一提的是，統計網站宣稱開發商在第二天試圖付費給大實況主以維持觀眾數，不要下跌得太難看。若此事屬實，對Epic不滿的PC玩家對於Epic的推特發文將有更多用以嘲諷的談資。
