You very obviously have absolutely no grasp of what it takes to actually earn money from Twitch.

It isn't just the twitch angle. Giveaways in general are a potential *** problem. I was just adding the twitch info in as bolstering information. And for the record I understand twitch better then you ever will. I've been on it since 09.

I can imagine him puffing his chest out and saying it in a grizzled voice that a trench veteran would muster.

Seniority/brand loyalty plays no part in understanding the metrics behind stuff like this. To put things in perspective, Sirken could draw half of the server to his stream every Monday night for the rest of his life by doing Guise of the Deceiver raffles with the explicit intent of making money through a Twitch partnership, and he'd be lucky to see a single penny.

You can certainly accept donations. That's not RMT. If I make a thread to give away a hundred fungi tunics and then post a PayPal.me link at the end, that's completely legitimate. There's no prerequisite of payment. Would that be douchey? Absolutely. Is there any universe in which gaining Twitch followers from Project 1999 translates into income? Absolutely not.

It's totally shitty to post in someone's giveaway thread pointing out that it's "not entirely selfless" because he'll gain Twitch followers. If a best-selling author gives all of his book proceeds to charity, do you send him a letter saying how selfish it is because he's increasing his readership?

Kinda different though.

It would take a while to write a letter, send it to the book author, and chances are he'd never read it anyway.

The meta of twitch and followers of a stream is a bit different than readers of a book author and his proceeds going to charity.

I struggle to find a better way to explain it, but I just think this isn't quite as benign and goody goody as people make it seem.

Maybe I am just jaded and pessimistic, only seeing the possible bad elements of this but in the big picture it doesn't even matter, anyway.

I don't think the dude is getting rich off it, and I do think he does have good intentions and his acts are helpful to those that get things.

I just think he is using pixels to pander his twitch though and that kinda makes it taste bad.

I think its great especially on twitch. You never know how many people might run across his stream and then decide to check out the server.

No one on P99 will become partnered with twitch. Mainly because its a private server. Secondly, doing giveaways entices people to watch your stream, and getting 30-50 viewers is nothing - its not like any of you are going to donate to a stream. So, he's just putting on a show that he isn't compensated for. If you think follows/views are compensation you're fucking stupid.

Concurrent viewers are what matters, and 300+ steadily at your normal streaming hours 3-5 days a week. No one will achieve that on p99, and as I stated above its against twitches ToS - you technically could have your twitch account banned. People like you are the ones jealous of twitch streamers because you can't afford hardware/decent internet and/or you have an ugly face or speech impediment.

I don't even play this game anymore, and all I ever see is self righteous pricks like you flooding the forums and taking your shit life out on other people. Honestly, no one gives a fuck anyway its the internet, but nearly all your posts are just shit. Pure fucking shit.

Sounds like someone's Twitch channel came up short for the light bill this month.
