Is Twitch in Trouble? - Episode #38
Manage episode 265931168 series 2583911
This week, the guys talk about Twitch. Our big purple streaming overlords can't seem to get out of the news lately, no matter how hard they try. What was once a titan in the gaming industry now might be knocked down a peg or two based on how they respond to what's currently going on.
They're involved in a crazy lawsuit with a sex addict; they have a rising number of sexual harassment/assault accusations to address; they just banned one of their biggest stars for an unknown reason; and they might now have another substantial opponent in the streaming space with Mixer falling flat and Facebook Gaming absorbing it.
Andy and Amar get serious and discuss the ramifications of these news stories. One of them matters more than the others. Sexual abuse and harassment is not a joke; and everyone who is affected by it should be taken seriously and given a safe platform to speak about it.
Thanks for listening.
If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual abuse, call the National Sexual Abuse Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 or go to https://hotline.rainn.org/online.
