On 2/2, we will turn off Chants.While this feature was popular, we observed negative impacts to minutes watched for significant groups of creators.Experiments help us test new ideas in real time, and decide what to build next. Thanks for sharing your feedback with us!— Twitch Support (@TwitchSupport) January 25, 2022Crowd Chants were a new way for communities to "chant" during hype moments on stream.Creators and mods could use "https://www.google.com/chant" to suggest messages (with text and/or emotes) in chat, which would then allow viewers to see a private callout with the chant and either dismiss or participate.For instance, while I was watching an Apex Legends streamer win a game by ripping the final opposing team to shreds with the Rampage LMG, a mod started a chant that went, "rampage go brrrrrr."Before I knew…

January 2022 has been another drama-filled month on Twitch.Two of the platform’s biggest creators, Ninja and Pokimane (a.k.a. Tyler Blevins and Imane Anys), have gotten into a very public disagreement that’s prompted renewed conversations about the culture of misogyny that permeates Amazon’s streaming platform — and the gaming space in general.Twitch has historically been dominated by men, and this latest incident highlights how the platform can still be a hostile place for women. According to a 2021 data leak of streamer incomes between October 2019 to October 2021, only three of the top 100 creators were women. Pokimane claimed the number 39th spot on that list, making her the highest-earning woman on the platform. That’s made her a target for would-be harassers, and the incident demonstrates that Twitch needs to take these problems seriously if it’s going to be a more welcoming space for all creators.So why did Ninja threaten to sue Pokimane? Here’s everything you need to know.The hate raidAs tends to happen on social media, the beef between Ninja and Pokimane stemmed from a previous conflict. On January 12, Pokimane, who has more than 8.9 million subscribers on Twitch, suddenly shut down her stream after receiving a usually…

The ALGS Pro League had solid but not spectacular viewership numbers during its first split. Many of those regular-season matchups averaged less than 10,000 viewers in two of the game’s most popular regions, North America and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), according to TwitchTracker. But save your cries of “dead game” for another time. When the Pro League playoffs came around, Apex Legends fans turned out in droves. Whether they were driven by the ability to earn in-game cosmetics from Twitch drops, the larger prize pools ($250,000 in NA and EMEA), or the high-stakes match point format, this weekend saw an explosion of total viewership for the battle royale. At one point during last night’s North American finale, over 300,000 people tuned in to the action arcoss multiple Twitch channels, according to TwitchTracker, continuing a strong showing from other regions like the APAC North matches on Jan. 22. The official stream saw an average of about 55,000 viewers over the course of the North American finals, according to TwitchTracker, putting it on par with 2021’s ALGS Championship. Considering the matches this weekend only marked the halfway point of the ALGS season, that portends a bright future for the…

Screenshot: Twitch The upcoming Pokémon Legends Arceus is a game that fans have been absolutely frothing for. The first open-world, real-time game in the series officially releases on Friday, however, some have already managed to get their hands on it. Not just that, but they’re streaming it too. While I don’t condone illegal activity, I’m personally quite enjoying being able to see gameplay of the game early. If you’d like to see it for yourself, they’re very easy to find on Twitch on the Pokémon Legends Arceus section of the streaming website. On the other hand, how on earth are people already playing and streaming the game? Considering The Pokemon Company’s general secrecy when it comes to releases, with most publications only getting copies of the game on the day of launch, this comes as a surprise to many. VGC spotted on social media that players have somehow gotten their hands on the game files and have been sharing them online, allowing others to emulate the game on their computers. Screenshot: Twitch According to one streamer who won’t be named, he’s playing the game on a Ryujinx emulator with the .xci file type. The streamer says that he is currently halfway through…
