   I'm tempted to start using #Owncast because I want a federated #Twitch replacement. What keeps me from doing it is the sheer cost of video.
   
   Because screenshots really don't do justice for a game like Extreme-G 2. It really is awful, and only seeing a video can make you appreciate how herky-jerky is.
   
   On another note, I own 7,000 video games. I'd love to do these games justice by archiving video just so the rest of the world can see them in action. They really do deserve to be remembered.

     I think some PeerTube servers support live streaming

     @atomicpoet Sending out a message to 16k people saying running Owncast is expensive isn't helpful or accurate. I'm not sure why you'd want to spread FUD about the project. It's a piece of infrastructure that lets a lot of people do some really cool things. If it's not for you, that's fine, but I thought we were all on the same team.

     @owncast@fosstodon.org I never said it’s “not for me”. I’d actually like to use Owncast. But every time I think about it, I remember how costly video can be.
     
     Now if you don’t think it’s expensive, please explain how I can bring costs down because I don’t know.
     
     It’s your job to tell me how to make Owncast run better so I can go ahead and try for myself. And then once I try it, I can report back to everyone else.
