Yeah, being a variety streamer is among the toughest you can be, and I've heard more than one streamer off-the-record complain about being "stuck in their rut" as their fan base is largely tied to a game they're no longer passionate about.

With all the hype surrounding a Valve game, I'm not at all surprised at people jumping at the chance.
