Top Twitch Games for August 2013

Dark Tom Hanks rises! Another month has passed and we’re here to tell you all about the most watched games on Twitch. Expect to see Hearthstone and Final Fantasy XIV a bit higher on this list next month, as they both appeared too late in the month to make a larger impact. As always, we sort this list by the overall number of minutes watched per game. This allows us to give you a more accurate view of the Twitch community, as it helps negate the influence of front page and other such promotion. Actual numbers can be found in our underground bunker of secrets, twenty floors below sea level.
