Based on the background that the researcher has described, the formulation of the problem is how the symbolic interaction relationship occurs between streamers and viewers in streaming games. With this research, it is hoped that readers will be able to find out how the symbolic interaction relationship occurs between streamers and viewers in streaming games. Qualitative research is research that focuses on things that do not yet exist or have not been researched. In this research, it is also described or explained descriptively with objects that were previously unclear and become clear when examined. Interactions in streaming games are not face-to-face interactions, but rather interactions mediated by visual images.
Viewers can only see the streamer as seen on the screen, but they cannot see the streamer behind the screen. In that sense, they are not dealing with a complete subject, but only a virtual construction representation of the subject on the screen which has limitations. Game streaming is a medium for digital interaction, which means that interaction in game streaming has its own meanings for both the streamer and the viewer, because the interaction takes place in two or more directions but en masse and in an artificial world where interaction has no social status boundaries but has physical limitations.
