On the other hand, the video game social network, which was launched in 2011, became a progressive success and the now San Francisco-based subsidiary of Amazon has become a global phenomenon and the leading platform. to watch video content from games around the world. In fact, according to data from Statista, in the first quarter of 2021 alone, the number of hours watched on Twitch reached a record 6.34 billionwhich is more than double the amount of time users spent on YouTube Gaming Live and Facebook Gaming Combined.
Therefore, it is clear that we are in the age of the streamers, the era of gamers. Prices are getting higher and higher and that is why we value every opportunity we have to enjoy the titles of each console.

However, this story turned into a half-tragedy.

After this update, the conversation had a great plot twist, because although the generality seems to indicate that infidelity is never correct, some others made comments such as “It seems like a complaint”, “If they give me a PS5 that has three husbands” and “Hey mijo, you want everything”. In fact, the author of the publication confirmed that the husband had also bought him a PS5.
