Channel is growing, but is it going the wrong way?

[TheAnimeKid]

Hey guys! My channel has started to grow pretty fast compared to when I first started. Over the past week my channel has gained 20 subs (up to 61 now) and almost double the total views. It sounds like it's going well, but most of the views are coming from one video. It's a game that's coming out now and my videos on that game are successful, but this game is attracting on subscribers for that game alone. (it's an mmorpg called Blade and Soul.) I still have a majority of subscribers coming for other content, but I feel like my channel will grow around that game and my other videos will be neglected. What should I do now?

If Blade and soul is doing this well , what you should do is make this your main series and focus on it a lot but only if you enjoy playing it , for the other subs you can have like a few days where you will play other games , I don't know your upload schedule so its bit hard, but lets say you do a video on blade and soul every Monday , Wednesday and Friday and then on weekend do other games , this is what I would do but it depends on your schedule and how much you enjoy the game

There are channels that focus on one game or idea and stick to that, where they become very successful. It all depends on HOW popular the game is? Minecraft has made 1000000 sub channels in a matter of months. But if you enjoy Blade and Soul, keep producing content about it. If you want to attract people who play that game, all the more reason!

I enjoy the game, but I don't want my channel to be exclusively about that game. It's like having a League of Legends channel or something. I am aiming more towards let's plays and just other games that I have fun with. That's the conundrum that I am left with.

Then what you should do is play it from time to time and play other games so you won't get tired of it.

I'm having the same problem with Smite, since it's just...THE game I'm playing right now.

Just diversify, but keep coming back to Blade and Soul.

I totally understand I had the same situation with an old channel I gave up on because I wasn't having fun any longer. The best part about creating videos for me is enjoying the process. If there is a game or particular video series that I absolutely hate but its doing well, I'll stick with it only as long as it is still fun editing the videos and playing the game. I don't want to push you away but this exact same thing was what had me quit YouTubing the first time around and now I understand I just have to do what I enjoy and the views will come when they come.

Keep the game that draws most as your main if you enjoy it and make the other games as optional extra content.

I play FFXIV wich is also a MMORPG wich gets many views and made it my main series and do some other games for a variety

Keep uploading videos of games you have most of the fans and for the start you can upload little less of other games to build your channel and after that you will have more views on other videos too.

I'll just keep going with it.
