I used to watch a youtuber that played really hard rimworld scenarios for like me and his other 60 subscribers. When he started to grow up, to like 300 subscribers, he started to diversify his let’s plays and some people on the comments started to complain that he was wasting his time trying other games or mods of rimworld, instead of playing the same ultra hard scenarios again. I was like ny dudes, if he want to do a living of this he can’t marry with just one game, we don’t know if the next game is going to be a banger or if rimworld is going to die. I eventually stopped watching him because he stopped playing those really hard vanilla rimworld scenarios, but nowadays he’s a full time streamer and in the twitch salaries leak it showed that he got 60k at year by twitch. Not a lot of money, but enough for him to call it a full time job.

I don’t know where they live, but in my country, they would be rich. Most people make less than 12k per year.
Same here. Won’t be good for the guy if he lives in expensive areas like new York city or Seattle (if he’s American) but in suburban/rural area, 60k/year for streaming isn’t bad at all.
Hey I love those niche job and city/country management simulators
There’s one that’s about managing a city in Soviet Russia in EA rn I was watching a streamer called Sips play recently and it looks cool
Whaa, that sounds like an interesting premise at least. Whats the name of the game?
Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic
Nice, thanks. What’s your impression of it?
As someone who dabbled a bit with it about two years ago:
It is extremely detailed. It goes to the level that you can manage the construction of new buildings by allocating the right ressources and machines to the construction site in the correct order. Of course you also have to plan your bus lines, train signal controls, electrical grid and so on in detail.
With that much detail it is also quite ressource hungry, so i had to stop as my towns started to lag at about 5.000 inhabitants.
Bonus points if you have some cultural connection to the eastern block. I recognized many things, from prefab buildings, over cars and trains even up to the lamp posts from my country.
Ah nice, thanks. Might not be a good game for my poor Steam Deck then, it’s a terrific system but a CPU & GPU powerhouse it ain’t.
I have a weird “mixed” connection to the eastern block. I’m Finnish but in my 40’s, so my childhood’s Finland was in some ways a hybrid between a “fully capitalist” market economy and some more socialist features (and not just social democracy) thanks to us having to walk a bit of a tightrope with the Soviets so we could stay independent.
But eg. a surprising amount of the “Socialist cube” concrete houses you see especially in the former East Germany, but also in some other parts of the Eastern Bloc, were actully made from Finnish concrete elements. We also built a zillion of them with the same ideology behind it: functional / brutalist rather than anything fancy, which means they were affordable for everyone and cheap to build. I’ve lived a huge chunk of my life in some Socialist cube or another
Sounds exactly like something I want to watch someone else play but never would enjoy playing myself. Have to check it out.

Pretty dark joke given the post war famine that the USSR suffered due to the nazi rampage.
