Major game genres that are being watched across all major streaming platforms are multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games and role-playing games (RPG). With Google announcing STADIA and Microsoft announcing xCloud as their major live game streaming services, the focus will be more on accommodating a greater number of MOBA and RPG games in their game list. Live game streaming market will experience similar scenarios that is happening to the media industry with Netflix. With every production company starting their own streaming services (e.g. Disney+ by The Walt Disney Company), Netflix is forced to increase in-house contents to stop losing their customer base. Similarly, if game streaming service providers start their own platform services for watching games, current market leaders like Twitch will have to rely on in-house developed games and streaming services. Amazon has already started to work on its own game streaming services to counter Google and Microsoft.
