Twitch to Ban PS4 Users who Stream Non-Gaming Content

[ultimatemythbuster]

yup.

Now we just have to get the livestreams to start on time.

But would it be enough to please Twitch?

 

Twitch features the show every Friday night, even though it doesn't have the most viewers out of all the channels.

*facepalms* People, this is NOT a new rule, made up just for PS4 users. In fact, it has ALWAYS been this way. In fact, the exact line would read

1. Content that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable;

GG people, GG. 

 

Oh and 

 

• Sexually explicit acts or content: Nerds are sexy, and you're all magnificent, beautiful creatures, but let's try and keep this about the games, shall we? Nudity is not allowed (the exception being in-game nudity within ESRB rated titles), nor is stripping, or sexual acts.

• Non-gaming content: Not sure if you noticed this, but Twitch is a place for games. Video games, board games, LARP games -- you name it. And while it's nice to take a break and just chill out with your audience, please ensure that your channel's primary focus is on gaming content.

 

I was waiting for someone to mention this. Twitch hasn't changed anything, it has always banned non-gaming content. I was watching an F1 race on twitch with only a few laps to go and the admins banned the channel. 

Nothing new here. Besides, I was never impressed with the stream quality delivered from the PS4.

that one may also be the whole copyrighted content thing.

The problem is instead of looking into things, people in general and on this forum especially, like grabbing the pitchforks at the slightest thing. Well, that and most people don't care to actually read what is and is not allowed on services.

Probably was, Twitch doesn't want to get sued over streaming copyrighted content through their systems.

Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers with more than 44 million visitors per month. We want to connect gamers around the world by allowing them to broadcast, watch, and chat from everywhere they play.

Oh I have no doubt it contributed, but the reason the admin stated was that it was non-gaming content. Same principle is being using with the ps3.

Or the guy who accidentally left his stream on then masturbated on camera?

"Accidentally."
