Twitch Drops Scheme

Publisher Bethesda has recently revealed a new idea directed to heighten presence on the popular streaming website, Twitch. To do so, it has considered the Twitch Drops plan, a simple yet effective idea. The basics imply that after linking one’s Twitch and Bethesda accounts, streaming or watching a Bethesda game on the streaming website will result in being rewarded.  Such an incentive based plot was concluded from a statement from Bethesda;

Free stuff in the Bethesda games they’re already playing, just by streaming or viewing a stream for that game on Twitch.

Although the incentive may not be monetary based, it is still quite persuasive.
    
Imagine that simply streaming any Bethesda game, such as The Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 4, Prey and many other titles will grant free in-game bonuses. No matter how large the audience watching the stream, or whom one watches; the benefits seem to be universal for any participants.  Such a concept is an intuitive way of actively increasing a game’s popularity, growing a fan base and creating communities based on titles. Bethesda is recognising patterns and has interpreted them, understanding that awareness and acclaim is vital to keep the community nourished and a title fresh.
    
I wouldn’t be surprised to witness other publishers following in the footsteps of Bethesda, such as EA and Activision, since Twitch has been undeniably booming lately.
