Who revealed his face?
On 2nd October 2022, [[anonymous::Someone who is not known to the public.]] video game [[streamer::A person who streams something like a video game.]] Dream (real name Clay) revealed his face to the public.
He removed the cartoon-smiley mask he'd been wearing for nearly three years to show his face. In a YouTube video, he revealed his face to his fans.
His first selfie tweet received over 8,00,000 likes (amazing!). His fans were delighted to see him. However, some used the chance to make fun of his appearance (it’s wrong to make fun of someone’s appearance!).
Okay, so what does Dream do?
"Dream" is a 23-year-old streamer who has been active on the internet since 2014. He, along with his friend, created Minecraft's Dream SMP (survival multi-player) [[server::A host network, like a game, that allows multiple players to play together.]].
He has over 30 million followers on his YouTube channel, where he uploads Minecraft gaming videos. Dream's [[anonymity::The state of being nameless or faceless.]] was one of the most [[appealing::Making something interesting or attractive.]] features of his online identity.
His anonymity, bright attitude, and gaming skills helped him gain many fans.
Hold on! What is Minecraft and what is streaming?
Mojang (a video game development company) created the video game Minecraft in 2009. It was the company's first game, and it went on to become the best-selling game of all time, selling over 180 million copies globally (whoa!).
Minecraft is a [[sandbox game::A type of video game in which the player has a lot of freedom to explore, interact with, or change the game world.]] that provides players with a limitless environment to explore.
Streaming involves sharing the screen of a video game along with the player to a live audience. [[Professional::A person who has a lot of experience and skills in a subject or job.]] gamers may make money through streaming.
So, it is considered to be a [[lucrative::Something that produces a lot of money.]] job, but not all streamers are successful in earning money. Many of the streamers choose to stay anonymous.
How will Dream’s face reveal affect other anonymous streamers?
There are other streamers who remain anonymous. It will be interesting to see how Dream's identity reveal affects his career.
