Abstract: Abstract Game streaming describes the concept of broadcasting gameplay and commentary over the Internet with the possibility of immediate feedback from the audience. While live video streams have been around for some time, the high rate of interactivity and opportunity for everyone to become a streamer and to generate content marks the difference to more traditional broadcasts. Besides the video game market, the game streaming market is growing bigger and bigger and influences the video game community heavily. This chapter describes the game streaming community, outlines research in this area, and gives examples on phenomena yet to be investigated.
