Twitch swiftly reinstated rapper and streamer DDG to the platform just 30 minutes after fellow streamer Adin Ross reportedly offered him a Kick partner income deal worth a seven‑figure sum, sparking widespread online reaction. DDG had recently been banned from Twitch—according to observers, the ban was lifted remarkably quickly after the offer from Adin Ross. Social media users speculated that Twitch’s decision may have been influenced by the prospect of high-profile creators aligning with its competitor, Kick. In clips circulating on X and other platforms, DDG can be heard confirming the unban, exclaiming that he had spoken with Sam (a Twitch representative) and that the deal through Adin Ross triggered the reversal. Adin Ross, who became prominent after signing a major non‑exclusive streaming deal with Kick, is known for advocating the platform’s Partner Income Program, which offers streamers a favorable revenue share and hourly income potential based on viewership. Ross reportedly discussed with DDG the potential earnings he could make if he joined Kick, effectively presenting the offer as both an income opportunity and a negotiating tool with Twitch. The story has drawn scrutiny over platform dynamics—Twitch vs Kick—and how exclusive income deals may be leveraged to influence reinstatement decisions.

The virtual curtain has fallen on VShojo, one of the world’s most prominent VTuber agencies, following explosive allegations of financial misconduct and a mass departure of its top talent. CEO and co-founder Justin “GunRun” Ignacio confirmed the agency’s immediate shutdown on July 24, 2025, ending a turbulent five-year run that began with promise but collapsed under scandal. The abrupt closure sends shockwaves through the streaming world, exposing deep cracks in creator management and trust. VShojo Shutdown: The Unraveling of a VTuber Giant Justin Ignacio, a founding Twitch team member and VShojo’s CEO, announced the agency’s cessation of operations just one day after top star Ironmouse publicly revealed VShojo failed to deliver a promised $500,000 donation to the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) from a charity event. This revelation ignited a firestorm. Multiple creators swiftly exited the agency, citing systemic issues. Twitch responded decisively, removing Ignacio’s iconic global “GunRun” emote from its platform – a stark symbol of severed ties with one of its own architects. The cascade of departures and loss of platform support left the agency untenable. Ignacio’s brief public statement acknowledged the shutdown but did not address the specific allegations of withheld funds or mismanagement raised by former talent.

Sam Rockwell developed a twitch while playing George W. Bush in “Vice.” While on Thursday’s episode of “Hot Ones,” host Sean Evans asked “The White Lotus” star if mannerisms from characters like the former president lingered after the film wrapped. Rockwell then explained how he dealt with his “Vice” twitch. “I had a twitch in my chin that wouldn’t go away,” Rockwell said. “And I couldn’t figure it out. It was like twitching right here, and I was taking magnesium, I went to the doctor. I was like ‘what the f–k is this? It’s twitching, you see it’s twitching.’ And it was because I was overworking this muscle because I was talking like this. Everyday I was talking like that and this f–king muscle was getting overworked and that’s what was happening. The day I finished playing George Bush it went away.” On top of asking about mannerisms, Evans asked Rockwell about his knack for playing drunkards or people under the influence in many roles. The actor admitted that those roles tend to be more fun. “It is fun,” Rockwell added. “It’s called impediment work so anything where you’ve got a limp or you’ve got a hangover, you’re drunk. Olivia

In an interview with German site MeinMMO, Twitch’s chief monetization officer Mike Minton has said that the streaming company has been working hand-in-hand with Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive to help ensure Grand Theft Auto VI has as much success for streamers as possible. While Minton notes that Twitch has at least a small role in helping all big game launches with Drops and other content, he seems particularly interested in how roleplaying servers could play out in GTA 6 in the future. In the interview, Minton says that, with GTA 6, there is a long-term plan at play. While GTA Online is likely to be the biggest draw for the game, he says, “First, the focus will be on the single-player campaign. That will be a key point. This game will likely be the biggest game of our lives, at least as we know it, and there will be a huge hype around it.” From there, he says online will get the focus from Twitch later on, as he calls this period “an even more important segment in the life cycle of this game on Twitch because that’s where the magic begins to happen.” When he’s talking about Twitch focusing
