Jadeyanh has reassured her Twitch fans she is “okay” and her father is “still alive” after a stalker called her, threatened her dad’s life, and demanded she expose herself live on-stream during the streamer’s Jan. 17 broadcast. The popular Just Chatting star, Jade-Anh ‘Jadeyanh’ Ngo, broke down in tears and ended her stream early after a shocking phone call from her stalker midway through the broadcast. One viewer, who confirmed they were watching the stream live when the incident occurred, reported that “a stalker called her” using her father’s phone number. Once on the phone, they demanded she “show her breasts on Twitch,” or they would hurt her dad. She then “realized her father was fine, and called the police.” Dexerto has sighted the now-deleted VOD to confirm details. “I’m okay and my dad is still alive,” she tweeted soon after ending her stream. Her father, Harvey Hung Ngo, also replied to the Twitter post. He confirmed he was still alive and “will be a long time.” Jadeynah’s dad also said “my daughter is strong, and no one can blackmail her, you asshole. We will get you!” Hell ya and I will be a long time. My daughter is strong…

Samsung, the multinational conglomerate from South Korea, has had a long history tied to the gaming industry. The tech company has even participated in specific marketing events for different popular video games, such as Fortnite when it released skins inspired from the Galaxy Note smartphone line. Now, it appears that Samsung Electronics will be diving even deeper into the competitive gaming scene. This time around, Samsung and Twitch Rivals North America have secured an exclusive deal. For those who are unfamiliar, Twitch Rivals is a series of online tournaments where different streamers have to compete against one another across a variety of titles.

When a few viewers tuned into Nick Kelly's first stream and began interacting with the streamer, he was overjoyed, creating a Twitch feel good story. Too often when it comes to Twitch, and streaming culture in general, there tends to be a focus on negative encounters or feuds between streamers. So when a few viewers stumbled on Nick Kelly's small Just Chatting stream and decided to share his stream with others, it snowballed into a Twitch feel good story. Twitch is a strange place for a number of reasons. The interaction between streamer and viewer is simultaneously intimate and distant, with streamers inviting the Internet into their world. It is also a place of gross toxicity, where tribalism leads to viewers of one streamer berating another that their chosen streamer calls out. A prime example of this being when xQc's fans lobbed death threats at Ash when the two streamers met in the Rust OfflineTV server. Despite the existence of negativity, good can happen on the platform, such is the case when a new streamer received an outpouring of support. Nick Kelly's stream was found by a group of friends who weren't sure if the streamer was for real. But after…

The platform also removed the popular PogChamp emote after the person depicted, Ryan Gutierrez, “encouraged further violence” online yesterday, the platform said in a tweet announcing its decision. We've made the decision to remove the PogChamp emote following statements from the face of the emote encouraging further violence after what took place in the Capitol today.— Twitch (@Twitch) January 7, 2021 Facebook banned President Donald Trump indefinitely from its Instagram and Facebook platforms earlier in the day. Mark Zuckerberg confirmed the ban on Thursday morning after already suspending his account the previous day. The Facebook founder and CEO said “We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period too great.” Zuckerberg said the decision to ban the president from the social media platforms was made because the context in which he used the platform during and after the riots was fundamentally different from previous…

Notoriously lawsuit-happy California man Erik Estavillo is back to sue again – and this time it’s Twitter for banning President Donald Trump and spreading “communist philosophies.” Estavillo – who sued video game streaming platform Twitch last year after he allegedly received injuries by masturbating too much to female gamers on the site – is now suing Twitter, as well as Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, claiming that Trump’s ban has caused him “overbearing pain and suffering.” Also on rt.com What a jerk! W**ker’s $25-million Twitch lawsuit is a stroke of madness, and shows the US legal system is broken According to the lawsuit, as well as seeking $88.7 million dollars in financial compensation, Estavillo is also “seeking justice” for the millions of Trump followers “who are now suffering adverse mental affects as they too were heavily invested in his account.” Claiming to have “no friends” and to rarely leave the house due to a “myriad of health issues,” Estavillo added that he relies on Twitter to engage in political discourse and “needs to hear voices from the full political spectrum.”Estavillo is also suing because he alleges that the social network “consistently promotes eastern communist philosophies” from Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and…

Twitch is mainly known as a streaming platform for gamers. But what’s a gamer, actually? “The truth is, close to 80% of Americans over the age of 13 self-identify as gamers, and so the term starts to lose some of its meaning,” said Twitch CMO Doug Scott. “People who are into games aren’t solely into games, they have multiple interests.” Over the past three years, the amount of non-gaming content on Twitch has quadrupled, including everything from cooking, sports and music to fashion, politics and streams for inducing autonomous sensory meridian response or ASMR. “This type of content started cropping up organically, and it’s something we’ve encouraged,” said Scott, who joined Twitch in Oct. 2019 after more than three years as CMO of Zynga. Two of Scott’s favorite Twitch streamers are the gamer DrLupo and CA in LA, a music channel run by two female musicians and filmmakers who are also best friends. “Twitch has a lot of power in our core community, but we also see a ton of growth ahead,” Scott said. “Our job is to keep on growing while making sure not to screw up the core brand.” Scott spoke with AdExchanger.

Rust Published: 14/Jan/2021 2:25 Updated: 14/Jan/2021 2:51 by Alan Bernal Facepunch Studios / Gingerbeardie Twitch Rust can have a steep learning curve for first-time players as Twitch streamer ‘GingerBeardie’ found out trying to befriend, then later getting shot at, by NPCs he mistook for actual players. Facepunch Studios’ Rust is a multiplayer survival game. Depending on the server you’re on the rules can change, but in general, linking up with allies and creating fortresses to safely create and store equipment and weapons is at the core of the game. But getting to that point means starting from the bottom and working your way to the top, and that takes exploration and branching out to new parts of the map to reap and kind of reward. In that respect, GingerBeardie was doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing, but might have jumped the gun when trying to meet the locals. But Twitch audiences were beside themselves when Beardie came across an NPC and tried to befriend the character, only to be met with nothing by silence. “Hey man… Hello?” Beardie attempted, before his Twitch chat played spoiler to his attempt at socializing with the machine. “What is that? That’s…
