One of the most famous streamers in the gamer world, the Moroccan Imane Anys, known internationally for her pseudonym Pokimane, surprised the Twitch and YouTube community by asking her fans not to send her large cash donations. Famous for its live streams playing Fortnite, League of Legends and Among Us, the personality took to Twitter earlier this month to thank the support so far received, “to the point of considering anything beyond that unnecessary”, and to ask people support start-up channels, charities, and take care of yourself. To prove that the refusal of a lot of money is really real, Anys has partnered with Streamlabs, the livestreaming software service, so that donations to his channel are limited to $ 5 (R $ 28). Although the attitude goes against the grain of most streamers, the gesture was well received by most fans and also by other famous streamers, such as the controversial Kacey “Kaceytron” Caviness, who declared: “Girl, you rocked again. Constantly raising the bar level for all of us “. Today, Anys can afford to refuse generous donations. As one of Twitch’s biggest channels, she signed a long-term contract with the site earlier this year, and although the figures have not been released, it is thought that the amounts involved far exceeded what was necessary. Fame, however, cannot be limited: Pokimane gained even more prominence by participating in a livestream with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for more than 435 thousand people. In addition, the streamer awaits the release of the movie Free Guy, where she will star opposite Ryan Reynolds.

Twitch is a live streaming video platform where gamers can livestream video games they play while receiving donations from viewers. Twitch streamers have come under fire in the past for the fact that they don’t need to pay in order to stream games to a large audience. This might be changing soon due to recent events concerning Twitch streamers and the platform itself. Alex Hutchinson, the creative director at Stadia Games & Entertainment (SG&E) Montreal Studio, weighed in on the issue by claiming that Twitch streamers should have to buy licenses to be able to stream games on the Twitch platform.   This claim was made after Twitch handed out multiple Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) claims to several Twitch streamers for playing copyrighted music during their streams. According to gameranx.com, Hutchinson commented on online gaming service company, Google Stadia, saying that streamers should have to pay developers and publishers a licensing fee to stream their games. Google Stadia has since distanced themselves from Hudson, saying that his opinion was his own and that it did not reflect the views of Stadia, YouTube or Google. However, since Twitch streamers get paid for streaming games despite it not being considered a real full-time job, I do think Twitch streamers should have to pay some sort of licensing fee. I feel like if the Twitch streamers had to pay a licensing fee for playing a company’s specific game, they would appreciate the game a lot more, and might be motivated to tell their followers about the game, or maybe even play the game themselves. This would more directly benefit the studios and companies behind the games financially.  I do think it was a good idea for Google Stadia to back away from the controversy surrounding Twitch streamers and whether they should be buying…

Cloud9 have been forced to backflip on signing 14-year-old Twitch star ‘General Sniper’, a popular League of Legends streamer, after the team broke the LCS’ rules for signing underage members to their organization. Professional esports teams, like Cloud9, often sign streamers who may not compete on one of their official rosters to represent the organization. Big names like Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp stream under the banners of Luminosity and T1 respectively. So when Cloud9 signed ‘General Sniper’, a rising star in League of Legends streaming and the younger brother of pro player Omran ‘V1per’ Shoura, no one really batted an eyelid. Riot GamesGeneral Sniper is the younger brother of LCS top laner V1per (pictured). General Sniper made waves in the community after hitting Challenger in League of Legends solo queue at the age of 12. He also followed in his brother’s footsteps, becoming one of the best Riven players in the world. The North American organization confirmed the signing on November 3. However, just hours later, they were forced to take their announcement down, and terminate the young streaming star’s contract.

According to the LCS rulebook, all members of an organization ⁠— professional players, staffers, or streamers ⁠— must be over the age of 15. General Sniper said it was “very sad news” to hear he was forced to cancel signing with Cloud9. Turns out the minimum age to join any team is 15 (even as a streamer) so my contract was terminated, very sad news☹️ I'll be back stronger than ever next year 🙂 — General Sniper (@GeneralSniperr) November 3, 2020 “ turns out…

More concerningly, I got another DMCA a few months ago for playing ‘In Da Club’ by 50 Cent in a clip that was 2 years old – so I believe if I get another one it will be a perma-ban?

Cultural references in politics have stayed on the right side of respectability and civility, doing just enough to grab attention but not genuinely engaging with people. Often coupled with last minute get out the vote efforts, these attempts at using culture come across as inauthentic or fake.  But over the past few years, a new wave of organizers are rejecting the pearl clutching of traditional political campaigns and connecting with Black and other communities of color on their own terms. “Our politics are in response to culture. Because culture tends to move way faster than politics,” Amber J. Phillips, culture organizer and strategist, said. “People consume politics and culture at the same time.” Electoral participation and civic engagement are cultural practices. Aside from attracting a new generation of civically committed people, Phillips says that culture can lead us to what a new future could look like. Instead of waiting for rushed celebrity events as a part of get out the vote activities, organizers are bringing in art, language, and music into the core of their work.  “We want to change the culture of voting,” Nse Ufot, CEO of the New Georgia Project, said in an interview with Scalawag Magazine’s As the South Votes. “We need to lean into culture in order to do so.” Ufot shared that most people were skeptical when the New Georgia Project started working with gamers. She said people had no clue what relevance gaming had to voting rights. Nse Ufot, CEO of the New Georgia Project “Around 65 percent or 75 percent of American households have someone that considers themselves a gamer in it,” Ufot remarked. “Obviously, we want to talk to 75 percent of American households about democracy, about our elections, about the minimum wage, about Medicare for all, about climate change.”  On…
