'StreamerHouse' Video Game Marathon Broadcast Hits 500 Days Non-Stop

There's dedication, and then there's dedication: three gamers from Lakeland, Florida have now been broadcasting their video game marathon for over 500 days straight - no breaks, no holidays, no downtime whatsoever.

StreamerHouse is the brainchild of a group of friends who wanted to create a 24/7 gaming broadcast on Twitch.tv. The house operates like a business, with streamers working in shifts to ensure that the broadcast never goes offline.

Robert Schill, Adam Young, and Brett Borden are the main streamers who keep the broadcast running around the clock. They work in shifts, with one person always on camera playing games while chatting with viewers.

The house is equipped with professional broadcasting equipment, including multiple cameras and high-end gaming PCs. Viewers can watch the streamers play a variety of games, from first-person shooters to RPGs.

What started as an experiment has turned into a legitimate career for the StreamerHouse residents. They earn money through Twitch subscriptions, donations, and sponsorships. The channel has attracted millions of views and a dedicated community of fans.

The 500-day milestone represents one of the longest continuous gaming broadcasts in Twitch history. The StreamerHouse team has no plans to stop anytime soon, with the goal of reaching even more viewers and breaking more records.

"We want to show that gaming can be a real career," said one of the streamers. "We're building something special here, and every day we're reaching more people around the world."

The success of StreamerHouse reflects the broader growth of the streaming industry. Twitch, which was acquired by Amazon for nearly $1 billion in 2014, has become a major platform for gaming content, with millions of daily viewers.
