Video game streams are a big component of the gaming industry and have contributed to its growth and popularity all these years. Streaming platform Twitch has always been credited for popularising the activity across the globe, but is the platform as popular here in Malaysia? To learn more about what Malaysia’s video game streaming scene is like, and the kind of games that are popular among streamers here, as well as whether streaming is a viable career option, we speak to Adam Faiz, or SparTankeR, a full-time streamer that’s well-known for commentating in Kedahan dialect.
