Well… “bad timing” is an understatement.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong and they can all go on like it never happened (except maybe Twitch could understand the potential audience and get their shit together, but if they didn’t do it with Ironmouse as their top streamer I doubt this will change anything).

I’m pretty out of the loop. Did something happen with Twitch?

Twitch as the platform, nothing new really. It’s bad, but it’s always been bad.

Thing is TwitchCon happened this month and it was a PR disaster, even specifically for VTubers.

The fact that the leading site in the streaming industry routinely screws its top earners while being literally owned by Amazon means they just don’t care about anything except the money (and they’re pretty bad at earning that, too).
