That's the whole purpose, to not be able to take money out... because people shouldn't be streaming for 1 priority only and that is to "make money"

+1 for webcam, -1000 for everything else

Good streamer are know to be good intertainement. Good intertainement is payable. They don`t do it because they get money out of it, they do it because they love it and in the end it gives them money back from doing something they like. If money is out of the picture... dont expect good streamers to be streaming on steam.

"They don`t do it because they get money out of it, they do it because they love it"

"If money is out of the picture... dont expect good streamers to be streaming on steam."

if they stream because they genuinely love it why wouldn't they stream if they don't make money out of it?

come on man, it's a pretty logical issue

Would you stream for 24h straight if you dont get anything out of it? i really doubt you`ll do.

[B. Mills]

Thumbs down to all the suggestions.

[Icarus]

I agree with the webcams, but the Steam Broadcast is for the middle man, the ones who aren't on Twitch and aren't popular, ones who just wants to stream for the hell of it. If you want money then go back to Twitch.

[TESTER 💤]

+1 support

[TubeN]

+1!

Its called an option for a reason.
Features is always nice to have. Just because its there doesn¨t mean you have to use it, right?

[Φωσφόρος]

you could just get donations by putting up an item on the market for however much they want to donate, i mean its harder work but i doubt regular wallet trading will be implemented.

You were talking strictly about real life money, so I don't know what exactly you're asking to "Get"

Do you mean "Would you stream for 24h straight if you dont get any money out of it? i really doubt you`ll do. "

Why does everything have to be about getting money, the whole Twitch & YouTube thing really breed a lot of people who are doing it just for the sake of MAKING MONEY, I'm pretty sure Valve/Steam doesn't want to go through that path

This isn't fukn twitch m8

Donations to steam wallet would be a great feature. As that money goes towards games.

Youtubers and streamers do it Because they love it. But to commit themselves fully to it they need a source of income so that's why they get paid through ads.


However this will be purely donation based. No ads. And the money only goes to the steam wallet so they aren't really making money out of it. Its casual streaming. The streamer can buy new games and then stream those games which their followers would want.

In fact the inclusion of the ability to "follow broadcasters" is needed. Rather than having to friend them All.
