Every single video on the list within the OP?
They didn't list the games I like, so they're bad and have bad opinions!

This game was huge on 4chan /v/ before that thread was made.
Happy to see until dawn sneak on there, I can see the appeal of all the console games on there though I wonder if arkham knight was primarily driven by people watching the true ending
I don't see why people are griping about poor taste, I know personally I have no interest in lets play or having story ruined for me and I think that people that do drives these stats have different taste than the average gaffer.

Kinda suprised to see Until Dawn on there, but I think that PewDiePie guy played it so maybe that's why.

Pokemon Go is going to be big, isn't it?

Until Dawn makes sense to be on the list. Couldn't think of a game better suited to watching on YouTube.
Really disappointing that Super Mario Maker isn't on this list if you ask me.
Mario + create your own levels should equal the perfect game for Youtube streaming I would think. I really thought it had picked up a lot of steam in the gaming community at large as well.
Edit: Splatoon and Minecraft not being there is disappointing and - in the latter case - surprising too.

I echo the comments that for many young YouTube viewers, gaming might be something they are interested in, but not to the extent that they would go and buy every single game that appeals to them. Some they will buy, others they will watch.
Undertale, for a lot of YouTube gaming video viewers, is a cartoon voice acted by their favorite Let's Player.

Nintendo fans were too busy playing their games rather than watching them kukuku.

Legit shocked at the dearth of MOBAs.

I don't know why anybody is surprised. The primary viewers of game-related videos on YouTube are children. Kids who think Let's Plays of FNAF and CoD kill montages are the coolest shit in the world.
You ask for streaming numbers, and youll find the MOBA audience.
Not a 2015 game.

That was my reaction too. I thought all the kids out there spent ours watching Minecraft videos on youtube ? (as a matter of fact I even witnessed a nephew of mine doing it). Maybe the range of that phenomenon has been exaggerated ?
*edit - oh, games released in 2015, got it.

Mario Maker?
Minecraft?
Rocket League?
weird list
Minecraft?
Rocket League?
weird list
My GOTY, Fallout 4, is on the list. All is right with the world.
I was also surprised by the lack of certain titles before I noticed it is not a case of just limiting it to youtube videos for 2015 but also restricting the games to ones that were released in 2015..?
In that way it make more sense, guessing Star Wars came out too late to have any real impact on the list?
EDIT: Ohh yeah, Rocket League and Mario Maker are other ones I'd maybe expect to see up there.
It's only 2015 games, so Minecraft wouldn't be on the list. Rocket League is popular but never really grabbed the huge youtubers to do long video series on them. Mario Maker is similar to Rocket League, and it hasn't been out as long as most of the games on the list.
People like laughing at others getting jump scares.

What the hell is "Five nights at Freddie's"? XD Some kind of phone game?
It's one of the more popular 'youtube bait' games, a new genre that was created specifically for Youtubers to play their games and increase visibility. See: I am Bread and Goat Simulator.
Actuallly you are totally wrong. He didn't make it for that at all actually, you can google the origins on this. Scott just really likes making video games, like a lot. You can tell by all the effort he puts into those things. To suggest that those games are just "youtube bait " is dishonest. If you don't know anything about the thing. Why answer the question.

Nah, actually I Am Bread is a really good physics-based platformer with a lot of variety and requires a good amount of skill to speedrun levels
It being "YouTube bait" is a secondary consequence. It certainly wasn't made for that reason. Games like that have been around for years, well before Let's Plays became a thing
Same reason as no Minecraft, not released in 2015.
I see what you did there...
You cannot hold the torch forever, my friend!

#6 could shift Nintendo to more mobile if Pokemon go is a huge success
The end is coming
But a new beginning might be happening
Battlefront trailer was hype
