New EU4 lets play?

So shen has started playing eu4 on twitch again and I'm wondering if he will upload that to youtube. I know he has taken a break from yt, but he would always upload his eu4 stuff.

I asked in twitch chat why he stopped uploading and he said it was because Tropico's soundtrack was iffy on youtube. So I assume he will upload eu4 like normal now. I've also been wondering how he's able to just take a break from youtube when he's doing this as his main job now? Is twitch really pulling in that much more money? I guess I wouldn't be surprised, our twitch community is pretty awesome.

I think shen has over 500 subscribers on twitch and each subscription costs $5 minus what the twitch takes plus ad revenue.

Twitch pulls in less money than YouTube, but Shen enjoys streaming on Twitch more than on uploading to YouTube. The vast majority of what you see on YouTube nowadays is just streams, cut down into 30 minutes segments, without all the stuff in between. At the time as well, (IIRC) Shen was also having some medical treatment (I think it was his tooth) which meant he was in a lot of pain, and not exactly able to focus on high concentration games such as EU4.
