Fallout 4

Fallout 4 landed November 2015, and we were there day one. We streamed it across 2015, 2016, and 2018 — 274 hours in the Commonwealth. This was during those early years when streaming was still figuring itself out, and Fallout 4 was *massive* for us. That launch was wild because the community had expectations from New Vegas and Skyrim, and Bethesda's controversial direction with the dialogue wheel and streamlined RPG mechanics? People had *opinions* about that. But we streamed through it anyway. We built settlements, we shot raiders, we dealt with the Minuteman spam, the whole thing. That 2015-2016 period was formative for the house, and Fallout 4 was right there with us.

Hold on: 274 hours, 467k hours watched, 1,416 average viewers. Those numbers are *absolutely massive* for that era. That peak of 2,471 viewers puts Fallout 4 in a completely different engagement tier — this was a phenomenon. To put it in perspective, we're talking about a game that, despite mixed fan reception, commanded our largest audiences. That 1,416 average viewers is nearly 6x what we see on most other titles. Fallout 4 represented that golden window where AAA post-apocalyptic sandbox games were appointment viewing, and we had the stream everyone wanted to watch.

Fallout 4 brought us 4,057 followers. Not a small number. Not even close. This game fundamentally changed the size and engagement of our community. That peak of 2,471 viewers wasn't an anomaly — it was evidence of a phenomenon. People weren't just tuning in casually; they were committed to watching our Fallout 4 streams. The house grew because of this game. Settlements debates, power armor specs, quest choices — the chat was *alive*. This was when we went from niche streaming to something people talked about.
