Facebook joins the fray at game show

Facebook Gaming is invested in the Thailand gaming industry, in order to help Thai gaming creators build meaningful and engaged communities around the games they love, says Stephen Chun, director of APAC Games Partnership at Facebook, 
Facebook launched its partner Gaming Creator Programme in Thailand six months ago, and has since recorded progress and growth from the Thai creator community as well as from creators across Southeast Asia.
Several of the tech giant’s Thai creators are already seeing encouraging results from the first few months of streaming on Facebook. For example, PJY Gamer, one of the first creators to join the gaming creator programme in Thailand, has been entertaining fans in Thailand playing RoV. Since joining the programme, PJY Gamer has grown followers by tenfold to 473,000.
Other partners include Roger Films Studio and NooEve PUBG. Six months into the programme, Roger now has a community of 120,000 followers, and livestreams of “The Sims” have an average of 4,000 concurrent views.
NooEve has built a dedicated following streaming PUBG Mobile. She has increased her following by six times to 76,000 since she joined the programme just over a month ago.
Facebook is continuing to introduce new tools based on creators’ feedback by working with the creators to test and roll out new features. 
This includes the Level Up Programme for aspiring gaming creators  to start growing their streaming communities on Facebook, as well as on Facebook Stars. The latter is a feature that allows viewers to support their favourite gaming creators by sending stars and a thoughtful message while watching live gaming streams.
The Gaming Creator Programme, and the Level Up Programme, will support creators in Thailand by helping shape the experience for streaming on Facebook.
From October 26-28, the Thailand Game Show will include the most talked-about titles across the gaming spectrum, plus e-sports tournaments, concerts, and other events.
