Youtube Is Closing Youtube Gaming

[NameGervin]

YouTube is getting rid of its dedicated gaming app after it failed to find a big enough audience, the company announced today in a blog post. Instead, gaming-specific content and features will have a new, dedicated home within the main YouTube site.

Youtube is launching a new Gaming destination to give gamers a home on YouTube! You can find the new YouTube Gaming destination at youtube.com/gaming.

YouTube gaming was a bad idea to begin with.

I never used it, instead YouTube Gaming used me.
My videos were auto-featured there, despite me never even visiting it at all.

I never have visited it anyway.

Interesting. Excited to see how this plays out. I'm sure Facebook will be watching closely.

I didn't think it take off, they were just trying too hard to shoe horn something in.

They even tried to pretend they didn't close it fully. They even said 'it will get new home from youtube.com/gaming' which basically means in main site.

But I also have a feeling facebook will also establish it's own gaming video-sharing.
