Streaming News

Twitch streamers outraged over new unban request feature
From rude messages in chat to pesky spam, bans are there as a safety measure to counter it all. Once banned, there was no way for these accounts to annoy or harass streamers moving forward. That was up until today, at least.
Twitch revealed a new widget on Sep. 30 that allows mods to go through ‘unban requests.’ While it could prove useful for the odd occasion where an account is wrongfully banned, the announcement mainly went down like a ton of bricks.
“Channel banned users can submit an appeal through the Chat column,” the Twitch Support post explained. Through this appeal, moderators can then “review and take action.” This gives pesky accounts a second chance at doing the right thing, but it also sets the stage for even more bother.

Dainty- Many are saying this will lead to further harassment by trolls. What are your thoughts on this new tool?

Twitch Streamer Has Been Live For Over 1,000 Hours Straight 
While a lot of news regarding Twitch in 2020 is usually related to a new ban, things are changing up with a Twitch streamer getting a new record for the site. Twitch streamer GPHustla currently has the record for the longest continuous stream on the site.
GPHustla's stream is currently clocked at over 1000 hours with the time still ticking up, as the stream is still ongoing as of September 28, 2020. The stream initially began as a 24-hour marathon stream, but it ended up going beyond original plans.
The stream originally began back in August, making it well over a month since GPHustla's life has been out for the world to see. If GPHustla were to continue the stream up until his attempt with Guinness World Records, this original stream would clock in at well over 3000 hours.

Jac - When will we see a Jacqie 24/7 stream channel?

WWE reportedly taking control of all wrestler Twitch accounts 
We talked a few weeks ago about wwe reportedly telling talent they needed to cease any outside activity using their likeness such as personal appearances or streaming.
They have now shifted course by taking direct control of their accounts and only giving performers a cut of whatever profit they bring in. 

Stump - How much do you think this will pay off for rival promotions as contracts finish up at wwe?

Twitch’s Soundtrack feature debuts today, and it will let streamers play music while they’re live 
Today, Twitch releases Soundtrack, a new product that allows streamers to play music while they’re live — or, at least, that’s the simplest way to explain it. If the product works the way Twitch says it does, Soundtrack will be much more than just a way to play rights-cleared music while you’re broadcasting. It might change how you think about using music on Twitch entirely.
Soundtrack separates the music stream into its own channel and broadcasts it simultaneously but, crucially, separately. That integration allows Twitch to automatically strip the music from the VOD of your live stream — because songs that are cleared for live use aren’t necessarily also cleared for use in recordings — and at the same time allows the site to do a lot of cool platform-side things with the music itself. (In a word: it solves the desktop audio problem.)

Jac - We all speculated recently about something like this coming from twitch when we talked about Twitch sings shutting down. What do you think of this new service?

Gaming News

Cyberpunk 2077 developer will force six-day weeks leading up to launch 
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has told employees it will require them to work six-day weeks until the game's November launch, breaking a previous promise not to force compulsory overtime to finish the project.
Originally announced in 2012, Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed multiple times already - most recently from April to September, and then to its current 19th November date.
"These last six weeks are our final sprint on a project we've all spent much of our lives on. Something we care for deeply. The majority of the team understands that push, especially in light of the fact that we've just sent the game to cert and every day brings us visibly closer to shipping a game we want to be proud of.
"This is one of the hardest decisions I've had to make, but everyone is well compensated for every extra hour they put in. And, like in recent years, 10 percent of the annual profit our company generates in 2020 will be split directly among the team."

Dainty - They have been working on this much anticipated game a long time. How do you feel about the broken promise here with the compulsory OT?

Apex Legends crossplay beta starts with Aftermarket Collection Event 
Apex Legends crossplay is officially coming on October 6, as part of the new Aftermarket Collection event. The event also adds a new event, and lots of new cosmetic content and challenges.
Crossplay was confirmed for a Fall launch earlier in 2020, but this first rollout is technically just a beta, as Respawn tests all the features. Cross-progression isn’t available at this time, but Respawn will talk more about this during the Steam launch later this year.
The beta will be used to test functionality before a full crossplay launch. Players on all platforms can play with each other, but by default, console players will only play with other console players.
“The centerpiece of this mode are Flash Points, massive zones dotted around towns in Kings Canyon. Flash Points are special because they regenerate your health and shields over time to get you healed and ready for combat in a flash ( ba dum-tss ). Learn where these are quickly because healing items do not spawn in this mode – Flashpoints are crucial to helping you stay alive.”

Jac - As a seasoned apex player how are you feeling about the new mode and crossplay?

Entertainment News

Cobra Kai Renewed For Season 4, Season 3 Release Date Set For Early 2021 
The Karate Kid sequel TV show Cobra Kai is renewed for season 4 at Netflix as the streaming service sets the season 3 release date. Cobra Kai picks up more than 30 years after The Karate Kid movie, following Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) - the villain in the original film - as he reopens the Cobra Kai dojo. Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) also returns, but the script is flipped, with viewers meant to root for Johnny this time as he's the underdog to the now-successful Daniel. The Cobra Kai TV show also introduced a new generation of karate kids training at the dojo, including Johnny's mentee Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña).
Cobra Kai originally launched in 2018 on YouTube Red as one of the streamer's originals, but has since migrated to Netflix. Seasons 1 and 2 debuted on Netflix recently, and it was announced that Cobra Kai would return for season 3. Now it appears Netflix wants even more of Cobra Kai for the streaming service.
Netflix announced Cobra Kai has been renewed for season 4, though a release window was not revealed. Further, the Cobra Kai season 3 teaser trailer was unveiled, confirming new episodes will hit Netflix on Jan. 8, 2021.

Stump - Why haven't you watched this show yet?!

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Star Rick Moranis Attacked While Walking in New York City 
While walking in the Upper West Side neighborhood of New York City, Rick Moranis was the victim of an unprovoked attack.
Footage of the assault, which took place near Central Park just after 7 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1., has been released by the NYPD, showing an unidentified male striking the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids star in the head with a closed fist and knocking him to the ground. The suspect, seen wearing an "I Love New York" sweatshirt, then fled the scene. The NYPD confirmed they are currently looking for him.
Captain american said Chris Evans tweeted that his "blood is boiling."
"Find this man," he urged on Friday, Oct. 2. "You don't touch Rick Moranis."

Dainty - How dare they touch the king of the nerds! This seems like the knockout game or just some unruly youth. What do you make of it?
