Is it really Brime Time?

Early Monday Brime went live on Periscope to host a Q&A to some pretty enthusiastic and at times cynical 14K viewers.

I’ve gathered the liner notes on what was talked about below.

Hosted by a man identified as TJ Marsh, previously from Xbox Universe and involved with 4 other companies (this was alluded to but the companies were never identified) TJ took questions from the live audience that hit a CCV of 300+ viewers at times, not an easy feat for a chat that was loaded with questions and at times trolls calling the whole thing a scam.

This is the first step to showing that Brime is exactly NOT a scam and is a legit effort to launch a new creator focussed streaming platform.

On the surface, I could easily take a stance to be a cynic but TJ seemed very sincere and for the first time, I’m honestly very curious to see what’s going to happen with this fledgling streaming platform to be.

Since the Q&A was not left up as an archive to be reviewed I present to you now with the notes I took on what are the more interesting notes. I’m sure I’ve missed some things and feel free to leave a comment with any of those.

TJ talked about a few things that were more subjective to response to questions about things like how their Twitter account was being run or typos on their initial landing page and I’m not going to bother with things of that nature but just keep it to what the Platform will offer.

Rumors of big streamers joining the channel were met with a simple “I can’t talk about that not” but also the reminder that Brime will be nonexclusive. So we’ll see, do they have an ace in the hole to bring in more viewers from day one or is the mystery of Brime enough to push this new contender in to the ring?
