    Right, that seems obvious. That’s what I was talking about being of no value. Nobody needs to watch anyone’s console game clips on Twitter.

      I get we hate Twitter and rightfully so, but you really don’t see the value for a direct pipeline from consoles to a major social media platform?

      People watching other people play video games (streaming, esports, etc) is a multi-billion dollar industry lol

        I think there are much better social media platforms for sharing clips. From what I’ve seen, most of Twitter is people angrily typing opinions at each other, so your target demographic may not be there. The UI is designed for text rather than video, and responses/reactions don’t integrate nicely with videos.

        Sharing game clips on video-oriented social media makes a tonne sense, however.

          Remember, this was established over a decade ago with the PS4/Xbone. It was a very different landscape then.

          Regardless Twitter or not, the use case for console -> social media seems pretty clear to me
