      Anyone that frequents Twitch know if this is true by the way?

      All of the other Snivies
      Used to laugh and call him names
      They never let poor Charu
      Join in any Snivy games

          I'm concerned considering Google/Youtube has a poor reputation amongst gamers, and that I have stake in a Twitch TV channel as well. But who knows? The hopeful side of me believes that maybe down the line they'll sponsor e-Sports. The cynical and realistic side of me believes that they'll bog it down with absurd copyright claims and other content limitations.

          PM me if you find the secret.

                      Never heard about this until now.

                      Don't know what to think about it though.

                                          Wonder how many ppl will switch to hitbox (the land of not 40second chat delay) over this tho.

                                              Couldnt care less about this, twitch sucks now anyways. I used to be on twitch for 5+ hours a day EVERYDAY, it used to be fun, it used to be cool, now it has just gone to shit. They should have never changed it in the first place. Hope youtube changes it and makes it good again, either way i dont go on there anymore heh

                                                  whenever something cool becomes big it is immediately assimilated

                                                      Can't wait for Twitch to die.

                                                      Terribly managed company, they need competition badly.
                                                      But I'll settle for Google running them into the ground.
