This will kill all major streamer events, like the OTK live show they had in Las Vegas last week or the Streamer Awards. I also find it strange how YouTube has no problem with it but somehow Twitch makes a big deal about it.
If anyone is curious about the production quality of those shows:
In Germany, most Twitch streamers are pissed off at twitch anyway. They only want to chip in 10k for big events for example - private tv broadcasters are putting in way more money and getting the community to their sites.
Also: The old 70/30 deals that some had, expired. 5€ subs got turned to 4€ subs so twitch has to pay less for twitch prime subs.
But there's no real alternative, YouTube streaming is terrible (no community feeling), kick.com is the refugee island for casino streamers.
Just looked it up, since I remembered hearing about it and apparently there are some new rules where you only need one if you average more than 20000 viewers.
That's the case for just 2 streamers in Germany. No other streamer had more than 20k average viewers in the last 30 days, but some are close, so they might have one as well.
