We can't wait to share more with you on our road to Early Access. Check out our first major update right here:
In Elden Ring, did you know that D's armor set, The Twinned Armor, has the description that says that D is of two minds? Normally, someone of two minds can be considered as crazy. A synonym for crazy is nuts. In short, D's nuts.
What we do for you on Twitch is free.
100% FREE!
Don't feel the need to sub. Dont feel the need to tip or cheer. That comes AFTER we've established value for you. When you feel we've earned and deserved it. Never before.
Dont ever feel pressured to pay for free entertainment.

Huge thanks for the opportunity from
@CDPROJEKTRED
. It was an absolute blast bringing this character to life. I can't wait for you guys to meet him! THANK YOU!
1. Twitch attempts to take 30% of streamers tipped income (bits)
2. Twitch announces regionalizes Subs, reducing Sub income across the board
3. Twitch, any day now, implements an end to 70/30 Sub split
4. Now, Twitch is positioning itself between Streamers and their Sponsors
😶
On January 1st, I'll be taking down my Tip button... forever!
In its place will be a button to tip the mod team as a whole. ALL PayPal tips to the channel after January 1st will go to the mods.
Thanks to all the subscribers and supporters for making this possible! GO MODS! 🤗
@unity
We have heard you. We have not listened to you. Here is a bunch of marketing talk to make you think we're doing something when in actuality we're just figuring out how to keep doing what we've already decided to do. Thanks for your honest and critical feedback. What? Seriously.
"Just don't buy the Microtransactions! EASY!"
No. For many, that's now how this works.
The problem is simple: When you want to sell something, there has to be a need for it. It's easy for us to surmise that everything in a MTX list (take, Dragon's Dogma 2 for instance) is…
Hey
@Twitch
viewers who have been subs but now are not:
-We don't appreciate you any less.
-We don't hold it against you that you aren't subbed anymore.
-You do NOT need to ever apologize for not being a sub.
-We still want you participating and being a part of our community!
In almost just half a year, we've received:
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Cyberpunk 2.0 + Expansion
- W40K: Rogue Trader
- FF7Rebirth
- Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth
- And now Dragon's Dogma 2
All of these games could have players doing 100+ hour long-form adventures. All of these games…
It happened...
It FINALLY happened...
For years, gamers have asked for this... yearned for this... NEEDED this...
I am delighted to confirm to you, dear reader...

The streak ends tomorrow! It hit all the goals I had for it and with two little ones, it's time.
It's been the craziest five years of my life. I appreciate you guys for being here for it!
THANKS EVERYONE! 🤗
@CDPROJEKTRED
Take the lessons learned from the Cyberpunk 2077 release and make this something special, guys.
Mistakes were made. Hopefully lessons learned. Many of us are still very much here for this! MAKE IT COUNT!
So remember how I said we were "two and through"...? 😅
Looks like our family will be getting a bit bigger later this year!
We're going to be outnumbered. 😳
@Ninja
Unbelievable. Dude, sorry you have to deal with this.
Twitch makes it VERY clear that they are just a platform. That we make OUR content and it's unrelated to them. For them to then farm your name for views is having cake and eating it too.
I'm sorry dude, it's just despicable.
36 today.
Never did I think I'd be where I am. I'm incredibly thankful to all of you who have given me so much of your life by hanging out and enjoying our hobby together.
Thank you for the fun and hoping for many more years together. 🤗
@MissNerdyCurvy
That is unbelievable.
Trauma dumping is absolutely a thing. Is that what you did? It is absolutely not. A short "sorry for your loss, hope things get better" would have been fine. But to single you out and make a bad situation worse? I'm sorry you had to deal with that. 😔
This is...wow.
A $299 next-gen console coupled with Game Pass for a huge library of games (including new releases) will be an incredible value for the price.
This is big for Xbox. Your move, Sony. 😮
From a viewer today:
"Instead of banning/timing out people, just make it so streamers can set their account to play endless ads while they're in the channel.
YES. DO IT
@TWITCH

Right after one major streamer gets DMCA'd, another starts testing the waters with other dangerous content (Toast with Deathnote).
Poki plays off the two day ban and promotes her return stream with a smile.
They're speedrunning getting this site in incredibly hot water. 😶
So my

collectors edition just came from Best Buy... (???)
And I'm definitely holding a sealed copy of Cyberpunk 2077 for the PS4 right now... 😱
Just learned a guy got banned for saying a homophobic slur & called said slur a "gamer word."
If you're saying homophobic/racists things while gaming, that doesn't make them gamer words.
That makes you a homophobic/racist who was being homophobic/racist while gaming. Period.
@Ninja
Dig the sentiment but you can still care about your craft and not get angry after losing.
I used to get super angry when I would perform badly. But lately it's much more about analyzing, learning, etc. Just accepting that losing is the first step in that process of learning.👍

Me: I play Apex cause I enjoy it.

Viewer: ...
"Would I like Elden Ring if I didn't like Dark Souls games?"
No.
Elden Ring is a traditional interpretation of the Dark Souls genre with new mechanics in an open world. It plays, feels and looks like Dark Souls. It's not reinventing the wheel. It's just a great version of it.👍

@VoiceverseNFT
Step 1 - Read over all replies and quote tweets.
Step 2 - Realize this is not the time for NFTs in the gaming space.
Step 3 - Review any contracts you've signed to see how to get out of them.
Step 4 - Withdraw from said contracts.
Step 5 - Apology post stating said withdraw.

You can have fundamental problems with something (a game, a company, anything really)
AND...
You can ALSO like really things about it/them too.
It's not mutually exclusive. You don't have to pick a side and die on that hill. We aren't picking teams and fighting each other.
Starting today (January 1st, 2021) I will be removing the ability to tip me directly.
Moving forward, ALL tips via PayPal will go to and be split across the mod team. Forever!
I couldn't do this without them. Thanks to my supporters for making this possible! Love you, mods! 🤗
8 years streaming on Twitch today. 🤯
Thanks for making this one of the craziest times of my life. I still have to pinch myself every so often just to make sure it's all real. Appreciate you dudes for showing up and watching all this time! 👊

Trump is such an embarrassment, in every single way. Rude, abrasive, ignorant, abusive, vain... He's a poster child of how to be a terrible person.
His performance tonight is just pathetic. The interrupting is like a hyperactive child. Can't believe he has gotten this far. 😕
I have "No Spoilers" as a tag in my channel.
I've said 10+ times during my run, "Yes, YOU know FFVII from 23 years ago, but many new people don't. Don't spoil it."
People come in, drop huge FFVII spoilers.
"WHY AM I BANNED? This is ridiculous. This streamer sucks."
OK. 🙃
He's wrong. He's lying. He's attempting to manipulate people with his false narrative.
It's disgusting. It's wrong. It is completely, unequivocally against everything this country stands for. It's so unfortunate to think that even a single person believes in this.
A request for those that use their
@Twich
Prime Gaming sub on my channel... Don't!
You don't need to be a sub to be a part of our community. I'd rather you find a smaller, growing streamer and use it there to help support them.
When you find one, link them here and say why! 🤗
@Ogilvy
@weareDAVIDmad
This is exceptionally low class.
Taking advantage of a system meant to support these streamers, utilizing it for big-name companies that could easily afford to do it properly and then bragging about it?
Predatory marketing. Cool.
We did it!

Somebody sat down, erased the message on this sign that said we were having our second son, Kai, then put in some fake advertisement for their blog or whatever. All, of course, without consent or permission.
I tell ya, man. Dark times. How lame can people be.
Hey all!
I'm pulling my Zelda vids from YouTube. I wasn't really feeling the game and don't plan on returning and waaaaaay too many folks were taking it very personally I wasn't enjoying myself.

I notice Roen is playing on his tablet after his allotted hours are up...
Me: Roen... How did you unlock the tablet?
Roen: *stares at me*
Me: Roen... Did you figure out the code to unlock the tablet?
Roen: ...Where's mommy? I want mommy.
He basically requested his lawyer. 😶
I have a powerful need for a deep, large, long-term MMO that I can get lost in for months.
I really miss waking up to that feeling of having an entire world to explore with friends.
Me, to my 3 year old son, Roen...
Me: "Roen, why do you eat your pizza upside down?"
Roen: "Because then I can taste it faster on my tongue."
Me: "Um... I... Yes?" 🤔

Ok, Twitch, let's talk reality here...
You need more ad revenue. It's clear. But forcing it on your community like this is the worst way to go about this. You're much better than this. Incentivize, gameify, encourage more ads. Get the community behind it.
But this?
No. 😐
🔬 Starting today, we'll be testing automated mid-roll ads for some viewers. These ads will directly support the Creator and won't run if the viewer has had an ad break in that channel recently. Your feedback is welcomed to help shape this feature!
📚:
Gaming addicition is a disease now?
So basically any escapist hobby that someone does all the time can be a disease?
So what about people who watch TV all the time?
Or people who read daily?
Basically any hobby that you do all the time can be an addiction?
...Phone use?...
There is no question that Twitch is and has been moving away from any kind of "creator first" approach it has had in the past.
This company is out for one thing: its platform. Creators are a byproduct of THEIR product. Business is their main (and becoming only) concern.
I have no words for this. Just broken.

I've been playing games for as long as I remember. I'm 35 now. I was playing violent FPSs since my early teens.
Not only am I more anti-gun than 95% of the people around me in North Carolina but the idea that my hobby would make me MORE prone to violence is absolutely ridiculous

History button.
A button, near a streamers name on the page, that would show a blocked schedule of what they have streamed and when. This would make it very easy for people to see what kind of streamer they are. Clicking on a schedule block would go to vod.

This has been a long time coming. It's time.
Starting Thursday (March 12th) I'm going to start regularly (forcing myself) to take THURSDAYS OFF.
We'll run Past Cohh on these days. I may do bonus streams for big releases and half days but mostly OFF!

affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat. As an entertainer I don’t get political often. Yet with so many vocal peers on the other side of this issue, I felt it was important to go on the record as a pro-life game developer.
What do I think about save scumming?
I think it's absolutely bonkers that some people try to force their own version of fun on others in video games.
Don't want to save scum? Don't do it. It's that easy. But to try and convince others that they aren't having fun?
Ludicrous 🤣
@CohhCarnage

Hey

wanted to know your opinion on save scumming. Apparently people are pissed that many players save multiple times just to get a certain outcome. What you think?

The motive is solid. The direction is good. Take the tweet down, replace womxn with women and pop it back up.
Sometimes overly inclusive can lead to exclusive.
