For a long time, the Steam.tv platform has been accessible to everyone, which allows streaming games to be seen live and which could be integrated by Valve.
Interesting the error of Valve this past dawn. The company known for its Steam platform has made a mistake we suppose during the testing and integration phase with its well-known platform and has accidentally published Steam.tv. The company seems to want to compete with Twitch by integrating a gameplay streaming service within the platform. The servers went down quickly but some have been lucky enough to test the new platform in an extraordinary way and take some screenshots.
Publish your Stream.tv portal ahead of time
The specialized portal Cnet has indicated that the Stream.tv platform has been active for about an hour and that 'The International' could be seen, the international Dota 2 tournament that was being held at that moment. It would integrate the Stream Chat function and would allow group chats concentrating friends and watching the games together, commenting on them either in writing or via voice chat.
The company has explained that Stream.tv is an update of Stream Broadcasting that has been created for The International event (and what else, Pascual) to try to minimize the impact of its direct competition: Twitch.
"We are working on the Steam Broadcasting update for The International Main Event, the annual DOTA 2 tournament," Valve said.
"What people saw was feedback evidence that was inadvertently made public."
Everything points to the fact that Valve wants the critical mass of players that it has to only increase it to have all the services that will seek third parties and expand the catalog of solutions. Steam has been allowing Streaming for a long time but the truth is that they are quite bad and are chaotic to find and are usually left for friends, so it seems that they want to wash the face of Broadcasting and compete with Twitch.
