I think you're far more likely to get people to see your game and videos on Youtube than a randomly running streaming service. I don't think Lets Plays are that interesting though unless the game is really good (or really bad), and then you're far more likely to find that game being played on a more popular channel.
Examples of what I'd rather see:
- Short "fangame highlight" videos, around 3-5 or so minutes showing off gameplay, or perhaps a compilation of "this week in fangaming" which could also be featured on the main website
- Videos to highlight "Game of the Month" or "Game of the Year" etc
- Trailers that people have submitted for their own fangames
But of course all this kind of requires someone to keep on top of it, MFGG would need to hire a video editor with the time to bother with this kind of thing, and in my experience it's hard enough to bother keeping up to date with MFGG as it is.
This.
Sure, fangame showcase videos wouldn't be as exciting as livestreams, but keep in mind that our community is kinda small and only a small portion of it would be able to watch MFGG's livestreams. Videos in an MFGG YouTube channel can be watched by a much bigger audience, even bigger than our current community. We can also still stream on YouTube as I mentioned before.
