As the first livestreaming portal for gamers Cool. People were doing that on Mogulus/Livestream in 2008 though, and they still are. I really don't understand this point of view that people have in small communities like this where being the first to do something within that community somehow makes you the first to ever do it. Nobody would make a point to say they designed the first airplane for professional wrestlers or the first hat for Mexicans. Artifically limiting your audience and your pool of talent isn't an innovation. All you have to do on a normal streaming site is search for "games". Reminds me of an episode of Dragons Den. A guy wanted to start a perscription glasses store that catered only to women. They berated him pretty intensely for thinking that immediately cutting his potential clientele in half was a business plan. | ||

Very few streams I watched used own3d but the ones that did were incredibly laggy and offered lackluster HD (1080p that clearly wasn't 1080p). People seem to be worried that Twitch now have the monopoly, these fears are valid (monopoly's are never good for consumers) but it really doesn't change anything in my opinion. Duopoly's are hardly any better and Twitch has been the leader for a long long time now. | ||

I've had a site for aggregating streams from other streaming services (Justin.tv and Ustream.tv initially) with a focus on gaming streams since well before own3d was around. One of the big things we did early on was having a much easier to manage chat, which has since been made redundant by Twitch's chat improvements. Our domain name was registered on 5 December 2007. own3d.tv was registered on 22 January 2009. Just because we never got hugely popular outside our initial target of Rock Band and Guitar Hero streams from ScoreHero doesn't mean we weren't there earlier. :| Our lack of activity has led the site to be pretty dead in recent years, but proof of earlier activity is readily available. It's probably not a lie at all. Any other gaming streaming service we could think of has been based on a larger general-purpose streaming platform. (eg: twitch is based on justin.tv) | ||

The gaming revolution will not be televised - it will be streamed. This! Hope we will get a new streamingplatform in a short period of time because having a monopoly is never good. | ||
