World War Z’s Twitch viewership has –rather predictably– sunk like a stone since its initial launch two days ago. After peaking at 133,000 concurrent viewers, over 80% of the audience has since disappeared. The sudden drop has meant one Epic Games Store developer’s gloating tweet hasn’t aged very well.
末日Z战上市首日在Twitch上达到133000的同时观看人数后，
出乎意料地只用两天就如沉入水中的石头般失去了八成的观众，
意味着转投Epic商店开发商的出师不利。
Epic’s Chief of Publishing Strategy Sergey Galyonkin took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that World War Z was sitting in third place as the most watched game on Twitch and that three of the games in the top 10 were Epic Games Store exclusives. The caption to his ‘data’ read “welcome to the multi-store world.”
Epic的发行策略主管在周二时还在推特上表示，末日Z战在Twitch上观看时数排名第三，并且前10有3个是Epic独占，象征著多店面竞争时代的到来。
Reddit certainly wasn’t impressed, calling the claims “bias” and “unsubstantiated.” What’s more, almost inevitably the day-one interest in World War Z has seen the game’s Twitch presence fade almost to irrelevance within 48 hours. At the time of writing, World War Z is being watched by just over two thousand people. Quite the drop.
Reddit对此不以为然，认为此看法充满偏误，将会是昙花一现。在48小时后，末日Z战快速消声匿迹，截止本文时间点仅剩两千余观众。
Notably, statistic site GitHyp claims that Saber Interactive actually paid some of Twitch’s top streamers to play World War Z on its second day to help keep viewership numbers from declining. If that’s true then Galyonkin’s Tweet is likely to leave an even more sour taste in the mouth of disgruntled PC gamers.
值得一提的是，统计网站宣称开发商在第二天试图付费给大实况主以维持观众数，不要下跌得太难看。若此事属实，对Epic不满的PC玩家对于Epic的推特发文将有更多用以嘲讽的谈资。
