Valve’s Steam Broadcasting

The latest Steam Broadcasting is being launched just in time for the annual eSports tournament Dota 2. It is the biggest eSports event globally, thanks especially, to the ginormous prize fund of more than $24 million. Therefore, it seems like a strategic decision by Valve to introduce its very own streaming service.

At first look, the new broadcasting feature by Steam looks rather rudimentary. Also, it is limited to only Dota 2. That means logging in using the Steam ID will give the user access to only the group chats and the friend list. As per tech site CNET, the user can currently watch a stream with friends or chat but they can’t sign in and stream their own Steam game for others to view.

Valve has not hinted towards any future plans regarding expanding beyond streaming of Dota 2 games. But Twitch has plenty of competition already. Microsoft’s Mixer and Google’s Youtube Gaming are two such competitors. They are more than a match for Twitch as not only do they allow their users to watch other broadcast titles but the users can also stream their own gaming.
