Saw something incredibly concerning from the CEO of a certain startup that is touting themselves as a Twitch competitor. Regardless of any beef you have with ANYONE, saying shit like this is absolutely NOT okay and doesn’t inspire confidence in me in any product you may put out.

my donothon is next monday and i'm so nervous 😭 no one is Ever obligated to donate but i rlly hope it goes well 🥹 yall have the chance to make me eat a scorpion and i'll get a chance at an electric wheelchair🫰🫂

I’ll die on the hill that digital purchases shouldn’t be legally allowed to be deleted, removed from user access, etc because at that point that isn’t purchasing a game or product but rather renting it Once you digitally buy a game or media you should get to forever own your copy no matter what

Game developers, a kind request: I know you want a fancy cutscene to play when your game boots, and that's cool and stuff but PLEASE, let players configure settings before that! Watching cutscenes with blasting volume and the wrong resolution is NOT a good first impression, I assure you.

GAME: "It's a free update" IF I PAID FOR THE GAME, THE UPDATE ISN'T FREE IF I HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR AN UPDATE, ITS A DLC I hate marketing speech and this usage of "free" is driving me up the wall. Dunno who started this but everyone is copying this stupid phrase.

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Hey streamers. Pay close attention to Twitch over the next little bit. They want to steal your likeness and content to train an AI model, not to mention, for free. Make sure you raise hell over this.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
