No Rolls Barred<\/a>, a group of board game entertainment video makers with more than 300,000 YouTube subscribers, has scrapped its three month-old Twitch channel<\/a> after failing to pull enough fans across from its other outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenter Holly Musgrave announced the news in NRB’s most recent Twitch video, titled Goodbye Twitch<\/a>, alongside regular co-host Blair Shepperd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said, “We had a three month contract with twitch which is now over, for us to have a good go on Twitch to see if we could, you know, move a lot of our youtube audience over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We gave twitch a good go – we’re both twitch streamers ourselves – and I think for us it just makes more sense to move over to YouTube because most of our community is there, we’re nearly at 300,000 subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“…that’s one of the reasons why we’re going over there, another is that it means we can upload things as [videos on demand], things go up as VODs immediately, so it means they will stay up there as well, which is good.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of the NRB Twitch channel’s videos are available on VOD except the final two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NRB amassed an impressive 12,200 followers on Twitch during its three-month stint on the channel – well above the single-digit thousands even the most popular board game Twitch streamers such as Watch It Played<\/a> and Banzainator<\/a> manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that is far below the vast number of YouTube subscribers the channel commands. NRB’s Let’s Play video from yesterday, Stop The Train<\/a>, has already pulled in 68,000 views, while last week’s Let’s Play Funemployed<\/a> has 96,000 – compared to about 3,300 for its final Twitch video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
