We're talking about Taiwanese streams on Twitch during 3 PM in Taiwan, when people are working and are at school, need I remind you how Taiwan is similar to Japan and Korea and people get out late.You know i originally wrote up a big long piece of text, but i'll just sum it up like this: You clearly don't understand twitch as a platform nor do you seem to have any real grasp of what good or bad numbers (regardless of nationality, time or any other aspect) is on twitch. 60 viewers over 5 streams is a pathetic number, it might be fine for small casual streamers, but it does in no way reflect a healthy or thriving game or community, it might at best reflect a small and loyal community. Who knows, this might just be because maplestory isn't a game people want to watch streamed to begin with, i'm not arguing for what state maplestory is in, i'm just saying that the stream numbers you have brought up do in no way help your case or help argue for maplestory doing well.
Today I've seen over (once again Taiwanese) 100 People watching across a few streams during non peak hours, when it's 1 AM in Taiwan once again it's on Twitch, not Youku or other sites which are oriented for mainland/taiwanese/chinese gamers.
It's easy to see 200,200,10~40 streamers at the same time, streams occasionally on twitch too, also go on Youku, go on Afreecatv, Seriously but yes let's stick to the Taiwanese twitch example and ignore all else.
Also plenty of chinese streaming sites can not be trusted with regards to viewership numbers, Douyu for example is notorious for heavily inflating its viewership numbers.
Edit: pomegranateting on my post doesn't change the fact that it's true, you know,

As i said i'm not even arguing for or against the state of maple as i don't care, i'm just pointing out you used a metric that makes no sense to support your case.
