Jaryd ‘summit1g’ is one of the biggest names on Twitch without a doubt. He has over five million followers and an audience that doesn’t miss a single stream. So when a clip started making the rounds saying summit1g was quitting Twitch to make a video game, that obviously had people riled up. But don’t you worry, it wasn’t exactly taken in the proper context. Summit1g’s not going anywhere. Why would he give up that kind of following and income? As a former CSGO pro, Summit1g again has an absolutely massive following. He no doubt makes a very comfortable living on Twitch, so why would he stop? The clip, without any context says he (summit1g) is quitting Twitch to make a video game. Honestly? A shooter or something from someone with his level of experience would be ground-breaking. In the video, Summit1g said the following: “I have decided that I am going to end my contract with Twitch and take on the next chapter of my life, which is making a video game. So, I’m out.” Summit1g looks very serious about quitting Twitch in the clip. Clips are very short though, so you miss the greater context. After the clip, Summit1g starts laughing about it. Ending his streaming career would just make zero sense. On Twitter, a response was penned to people taking this as anything other than a goof: I’m surprised so many ppl fell for an out of context clip of me quitting streaming. It was a joke, not stopping anytime soon if it’s up to me. Just wanted to clear that up in case ppl come to my twitter worried lol.— summit1g (@summit1g) November 19, 2020 “I’m surprised so many ppl fell for an out of context clip of me quitting streaming.

Entertainment Published: 21/Nov/2020 1:25 by Alex Tsiaoussidis DrLupo Benjamin ‘DrLupo’ Lupo is no stranger to philanthropy, but now he’s kicked it to a whole new level and decided to donate all future tips on his Twitch channel to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Popular streamers are widely considered to be a force for good. They entertain the masses and create tight-knit communities, and some have even made an effort to give something back. Iman ‘Pokimane’ Anys, who was named the highest-earning female streamer this year, capped her donations to five dollars and urged fans to support other causes with the excess.  Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg did something similar. Initially, he turned off donations completely. But then he had an even better idea. He turned them back on and started donating them all to charity. Now, DrLupo is doing the same. The 33-year-old American Twitch star has been one of the platform’s most philanthropic streamers. In 2018, he raised more than one million dollars for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Then, less than a year later, he doubled that and raised over two million dollars in a 24-hour stream.  Now, he’s at it again.  DrLupoDrLupo is one of the most charitable and philanthropic Twitch streamers in the world. DrLupo is hosting yet another Build Against Cancer stream. It’s happening between December 19 and December 20, and all donations will go to the same cause.

If that wasn’t enough, DrLupo has also gone above and beyond and made a permanent pledge. “Effective…

But who is to blame? by Liam Doolan 3 hours ago © NintendoHyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has been available in certain countries like Australia, New Zealand and Japan for nearly a day now. While you think this would mean it's safe to stream the game on a platform like Twitch, it seems not, as a number of streamers have been temporarily banned for 48 hours. This has seemingly happened to multiple streamers. There's no clear reason as to what exactly has gone wrong - so we're thinking it's either a timezone issue, the local embargo (for the US), or perhaps it might just be Nintendo taking some extra precautions after the game was reportedly leaked earlier this week. If we hear anything else, we'll be sure to let you know. What are your own thoughts about all of this? Tell us below.

Entertainment Published: 19/Nov/2020 5:28 by Andrew Amos Twitter: TSM_Hamlinz / YouTube: Tfue Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin was once one of the Kings of Twitch when Fortnite was taking off. However, the TSM star has fallen off the radar in the last 12 months. Fans are still holding out hope for his return though, and even Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is trying to push him back live. Hamlinz and Tfue were at the top of Fortnite together back in 2018 and 2019. They duo’d numerous times, and their fanbases were heavily intertwined. However, Tfue has gone on to bigger and better things, but Hamlinz has fallen off the radar. He hasn’t streamed in over six months, and it seems like the community is antsy for the “30 minute a month” streamer’s return. TSM HamlinzHamlinz hasn’t streamed since March 2020, but his fans are trying to change that. Tfue shared a conversation he recently had with Hamlinz on Twitter, with a few comments trying to nudge the TSM streamer to return to the platform. “Bro you forgot to end your stream. I don’t know if you meant to,” Hamlinz said to Tfue after his November 17 broadcast. Tfue came back with a tongue-in-cheek comment, but one that resonated with a lot of people in the Twitch community. “Bro you forgot to start yours,” he said in reply. It comes after the Twitch community continues to rally behind Hamlinz to make his return to the platform. Hamlinz last streamed on March 17, 2020 ⁠— over six months ago. In the last 12 months, he has streamed a total of 105 hours ⁠— a far cry from numbers he was pulling in 2018.

from the do-better dept What a few weeks for Twitch. You will recall that the platform went about pissing a ton of its talent and viewers off by nuking a metric ton of video content on the site in response to a flood of DMCA takedown notices, most of them from the RIAA. And this truly was the nuclear option, far different from the notice/counternotice system most platforms use. In fact, it was so extraordinary that it arguably lost Twitch its DMCA safe harbor. Regardless, when the company then followed up with a message to all Twitch creators that they should go educate themselves on matters of copyright and proactively delete any recordings or clips that might run afoul of copyright law, it created a cluster-fuck with virtually nobody having any idea how or what they should be doing. In response to the turmoil, Twitch brilliantly rolled out an announcement for a new emoji. And it just keeps getting worse. This week, Twitch has finally come out with an apology to its talent, noting that the company, bought by Amazon in 2014, probably should have been able to provide better tools and a system that wouldn't have required the mass deletion of millions of hours of recorded content. “You’re rightly upset that the only option we provided was a mass deletion tool for Clips, and that we only gave you three-days notice to use this tool,” the company wrote. “We could have developed more sophisticated, user-friendly tools awhile ago. That we didn’t is on us. And we could have provided creators with a longer time period to address their VOD and Clip libraries—that was a miss as well. We’re truly sorry for these mistakes, and we’ll do better.” Twitch also committed to developing additional tools that will hopefully grant streamers…
