Because it makes them shitloads of money. They're sanitizing things in an effort to make the site more PG friendly to keep advertising dollars high. They'll inevitably crack down on thottery as well.
they literally go out their way to protect thottery
Twitch in the past has considered tons of content permissible and then done a complete 180. If people start complaining in a meaningful way that makes them feel like ad sponsorships are threatened then they make policy changes. A ton of the big female streamers do borderline softcore porn and it isn't sustainable for them to protect forever if laws change. Twitch will inevitably have to register as a pornographic website and require ID verification of users. They'll just ban all the thots, bikini streaming, sleeping streams, ASMR shit, RL streams, etc.
Because there was a threshold and Twitch was waiting for them to cross it before banning it.
That threshold was how much money Twitch was getting, and they crossed below it.
Mark my words, as soon as Twitch drops Prime Gaming(ludwig, pointcrow and moistcritikal hinted that its costing 100+ million per year), Amazon will drop it like a red headed step child and sell that shit off for $45 billion to some Chinese company. Then the website slowly dies a whimper.
Anyone old enough to remember the shit that went down with MySpace can see eerily similar things happening with Twitch, aggressive unblockable ads being a red flag.
Once amazon game studios finally close shop (they canned another round of employees just a few months ago) Twitch will follow not far behind. The whole reason for grabbing Twitch was getting their video hosting infrastructure (IVS) and a foothold into gaming was a bonus for them and that bonus is done for.
AWS has been stagnating for a while and that is Amazon's golden goose right now. If those frickers aren't doing that well financially, can't imagine how much worse Twitch is in.

Lmao it's cute watching the delusion seething morons of Ganker rage about streaming so much they fantasize on this level
>smokes 2 bowls of weed >takes 8 shots of vodka >subscribes to 20 different onlyfans accounts >crushes up and snorts an adderall bought off the street
Gambling is like, baad, maaaaaaan
Misleading stat since suicide is the only method of death for gambling addicts where substance addicts get myriads of health problems that lead to death
Gambling should be illegal. It destroys economy by allowing money to be made of you the thin air while producing absolutely nothing. Even if you don't care about morons being scammed all that money is just going to be used against you same as with usury. You can see how much damage is just israelites and their banks doing. Do you really need more of that.
>allowing money to be made out of thin air
Thats what the Federal Reserve does, thats what speculative indexes do, gambling however does not. Gambling is a direct exchange between the players and the house.
Is anyone even talking about Kick anymore after the deal they did with xqc and Amouranth? I'd rather twitch die but I'm not sure the alternative is living up to the challenge.
Why did it take this long
bureaucracy
They're giving kick an even larger userbase now.

Are you moronic? We're talking about the website that banned use of the word simp.

laughs in just chatting/pools category
You're not Black folk, stop speaking like you are.
Quiet, thot.
They get half of every penny simps give the thots, they are NEVER going to crack down on them
The money from user subs and donations via bits doesn't compare to sponsorships from ad partners.
It all comes back to ad money.
Because there was a threshold and Twitch was waiting for them to cross it before banning it.

>/CSGG/ on suicide watch
Yes.
YES.
YES!!.
Will this crash the skin prices?
Valve have already banned skin gambling like 3 times and its still going so I doubt it
Gambling is fun.
those affected streamers will just move to that platform backed XQC won't they
are normies finally waking up that Valve is the most dogshit company in gaming now?
Gambling streams are just a huge grift to steal money from moronic kids so I don't see the problem.

3 clueless dipshits said it, must be true
They're like 10 years too late.
>Slots still allowed
>skin gambling is a problem
Holy shit, we're back in 2016 or something
The streamer bubble popping is going to be the funniest shit ever
It's not a streamer bubble, it's a twitch bubble
Youtube streaming has gotten a lot more popular, and kick has been taking a lot of the bigger streamers from twitch
Why do video game addicts pretend moralize about gambling so much?

Gambling addicts are by far the most likely to commit suicide out of any addict.

brb going for a quick drive
:skull:
They can't possibly think they can do something like this to the Godfather of Battlepasses and Lootboxsex - GabeN - without any repercussions.

YOU'RE LAUGHING
YOU'RE LAUGHING THAT HUNDREDS ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS
>skin gambling
Kek.
I remember in the 2000s and early 2010s modding all of my shit locally and without giving a frick, no grind, no fuss.
imagine if humans had skin gambling like they do for weapons
>he still uses the ad website pretending to be a game streaming website in 2020+3
