Teen secretly spent $20k of mom’s savings on Twitch celebs, and the streaming giant thinks that’s just fine Twitch ignored the distraught mother and then silently deleted the evidence—or so they thought.
An American woman has managed to recoup “almost all” of the $20,000 that her teenage son secretly spent on Twitch donations for the platform’s streamers, but it wasn’t without an epic fight. Speaking to Dot Esports, the woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said that she had to give up on trying to communicate with Twitch after they not only ignored her pleas–but even appeared to try to delete evidence to make her case more difficult to pursue. “The fact that no one [at Twitch] would respond, and there was no way to speak with anyone was horrible,” she said. “That was probably the worst.” The mother said she filled…

Huge leak reveals Boogie2988 lied about swatting All of Boogie's lies and manipulation should be blamed on anonymous FBI friends, he now claims in damage control video.
Judging by his own Twitter feed – it reads like a constant stream of pityfishing and threats to leave social media and/or commit suicide – there is no shortage of drama surrounding online personality Steven Jay Williams, better known as Boogie2988. But as documented in a huge DM leak on the r/SamandTolki subreddit, the youtuber now admits to making false allegations of swatting as part of a scheme to get back at his “haters.” “Should I finally tell you guys the truth or should I keep milking this one. […] I was shocked to see they latched on to the swatting thing,” Boogie2988 told the “hater” recipient of his flood…

Twitch streamer brags she can’t get banned for nudity, immediately gets banned for nudity (NSFW) “Jeff [Bezos] lets me take my clothes off on Twitch. I've done it four times.”
Twitch streamer Wintrycelll had all the reasons in the world to feel confident she would get away with streaming in the nude. Twitch notoriously bans male streamers for the smallest infractions, while female streamers can stream animal torture and beastiality with no consequence. She’s also gotten away with streaming in the nude in the past – a total of four times, she says – which she attributes to her alleged friendly relations with Twitch/Amazon owner Jeff Bezos. But five appears to be the magic number in her case. “Jeff lets me take my clothes off on Twitch,” Wintrycelll bragged to her cohosts while playing GTA. “I can get naked right…

Friends and fellow youtubers – even Keemstar – have repeatedly tried to get him help, but Brian ‘Blade’ Risso, the semi-famous Call of Duty youtuber who now resorts to livestreams for drink donations, refuses any kind of treatment that might take him away from his daily routine of getting black out drunk to the point of urinating and defecating on himself.

Greekgodx banned from Twitch for saying there’s two genders Belief in the ever expanding list of genders discovered by Tumblr scientists—such as agenderflux and gyraboy—now a requirement for the streaming platform.
Twitch has banned popular part-time livestreamer Greekgodx for stating that there are two genders. On Wednesday, Greek was live on Twitch – a rare occasion these days – and briefly mentioned SoundCloud’s sign-up options, which allows users to identify their gender as “other.” “It does ‘male,’ it does ‘female,’ it does ‘other,’ and it does ‘prefer to not say.’ Imagine having ‘other’ and ‘prefer to not say.’ What cucks are they fucking catering to now?” “Other? Fuck off,” Greek continued, “If you put ‘other,’ they should ‘sorry, SoundCloud is not for you, goodbye,’ and fucking delete you.” Judging from Greek’s sudden ban, Twitch staff members are among the “cucks” that…

Ice Poseidon reported to French police after livestreaming multiple hit-and-runs "Oh my God, you fucking banged into the guy"
Youtube streamer Ice Poseidon (Paul Denino) is doing an EU RV trip with his current collection of homeless adjacents, but the livestream event that was meant to save his dying career might very well cut his time in Europe short. Ice Poseidon is the last person you want driving a 5,000 pound vehicle (he is very sensitive about his driving skills, by the way), and unsurprisingly was unable to navigate it around France’s narrow streets without running into everything in sight. And of course, being your typical degenerate streamer, he promptly fled the scene. His friend, Tracksuit Andy, livestreamed the events: “Oh my God, you fucking banged into the guy,”…

CliffyB: my game sucks because of gangstalkers from 4chan "Fun fact."
Radical Heights tanked — hard. The ambitious video game by Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski (better known as “CliffyB”) attempted to bank on the Battle Royale genre of video games, but it came out several years too late with too few features to set it apart from the crowd. It didn’t stand a chance against Fortnite, which it borrowed much of its aesthetic from — and offered too little to set it apart from the likes of the numerous other games that try, and fail, to dethrone Epic Games’ mega money maker. Instead of simply accepting failure, Bleszinski now blames Radical Heights’ failure on 4chan. In a series of…

Paypigs revolt after glitch reveals “cute goddess”‘ real face — and age "Her Royal Highness" Qiao Biluo's false online representation tricked Chinese men out of oodles of cash, and now they're trying to charge it back.
Chinese paypigs are revolting after a popular female vlogger/livestreamer got tripped up by a glitch and fans learned her beauty filter had done more than merely enhancing existing qualities. The glitch happened on a July 25 DouYu stream, a Chinese game-centric livestreaming platform. The livestreamer, who goes by “Her Royal Highness Qiao Biluo” (乔碧罗殿下) to her 135,000 adoring fans, had covered her face with an anime picture while chatting with a cohost. At some point the computer dropped the superimposed picture and everyone was shocked to see her real face.

As Minecraft celebrates its 10th anniversary, Microsoft has announced that the game’s creator, Markus Persson (Notch), will not be able to take part in the events, and it’s all due to his “comments and opinions” on Twitter. “His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are nor representative of Minecraft,” said a Microsoft spokesperson to Variety, which broke the news this week. The spokesperson was also keen to inform the publication that Notch hasn’t been involved with Minecraft since he sold the studio and rights to the game in 2014.
