Now’s my first time dipping my webbed flippers into the pool of Twitch drama, so wish me luck! Alternatively, feel free to check my last piece on Pokimane if you’re looking for something a little less dense. I’ll try my best to keep things unbiased, while also calling out the worst of the worst things coming up.

Details man! They are important: Reports have come through that Tyler ‘Ninja‘ Belvins (God, I love that name, on a phonetic level at least) and his wife are getting their legal team involved shortly after Pokimane (Imane Anys) claimed Ninja texted a Twitch representative to help JiDion (Demarcus Cousins the 3rd… CRIKEY that’s a name) with a hate raid on her channel. JiDion was then perma-banned from Twitch shortly after.

JiDion’s fans have admitted to ‘hate-raiding’ Pokimane on a Ninja stream according to Pokimane, which I’m inclined to believe, but I recommend cross-referencing this with other channels on the minuscule off-chance that I’m wrong here.

Pokimane also implied without outright stating (to my knowledge) that Ninja referred to her as a “bitch” (in a stream between JiDion and Ninja) before backpedaling and saying “I meant bitches in general” for plausible deniability. In my opinion, that Ninja-JiDion conversation was moreso a case of JiDion jokingly performing shock at Ninja just using the word ‘bitch’ alone. And as far as this clip goes (seemingly the one Pokimane was referencing based on the ‘bitches in general’ specificity), Ninja also appeared to be condemning JiDion for the hate raids. Could Ninja be dogwhistling? I dunno, maybe… But there’s thousands of hours worth of Twitch stuff to drudge through and ain’t nobody got time for that!

That brings us to right now! Today on January 18th, Pokimane shared what seems to be a screenshot of a private message from Jessica Belvins (Ninja’s wife) that read ‘We are considering everything defamation of character at this point and are getting our legal team involved’.  The message also had a section claiming that Tyler never reached out to any Twitch reps, but he ‘just said that to stop the harassment in his chat from JiDion’s viewers’.

Pokimane said she’s ‘willing to accept and cannot disprove’ that possibility.

The moral of the story? I wish it had one! Although I’m quite certain by this point this whole situation was a misunderstanding between Imane and Tyler that could’ve been avoided if they just had a chinwag on the topic over a morning cuppa, drama of this variety specifically really does make my head spin. With the internet, it’s simultaneously harder AND easier to just lie about… Anything, really!  But hey, hopefully this was a fun read for anyone more clued-up on these drama-llamas than me.

Here’s the rundown on how to get it, and fans responses to the announcement.

The KFC glider was teased so long ago it feels like one of Genshin Impact’s ancient myths. But low and behold, it was finally announced for global fans today.

In China, the glider could be obtained by spending around $20 at KFC. But the rules for the international players are quite different.

Dear Travelers, the limited-time event "Adventurers' Guild on Twitch" is about to begin~

MiHoYo will instead be collaborating with Twitch.

To get the glider, you will need to gift 2 tier 1 monthly subs to streamers from a select list, which is yet to be announced. Worse yet, Amazon Prime subs don’t count.

Of course, controversy is already rife around the topic. First of all, in the HoYoLAB post they used an account that is very clearly streamer antonychenn.

IS THAT MY TWITCH LMFAOO

This is odd because they clearly did not ask for permission, and also he has announced that he has nothing to do with the event. MiHoYo, please do a better job of blurring out people’s icons…

That aside, players aren’t happy with being forced to subscribe to Twitch streamers to get a cosmetic item, when the majority aren’t interested in this type of content.

Streamers themselves don’t seem happy with the arrangement either, as it comes with an apparently restrictive contract that led most big streamers to turn the collab down.

This seems to be an unnecessarily complicated way of dishing out rewards, and I would rather just pay for it with genesis crystals in the shop…. I don’t think I’m willing to go through all this effort just for a glider, even if it would look good with Bennett. At least throw some primogems in there or something, yaknow? MiHoYo is certainly gaining a reputation of making strange PR moves.

Genshin Impact is available to download and play for free on PC, mobile, and PS4, as well as the PS5. If you haven’t been able to get your hands on the new PlayStation console, register your interest at our shop.

Source codes and user payouts leaked by an anonymous hacker in a 128GB torrent.

We can confirm a breach has taken place. Our teams are working with urgency to understand the extent of this. We will update the community as soon as additional information is available. Thank you for bearing with us.

— Twitch (@Twitch) October 6, 2021

Twitch has confirmed that the data breach is, indeed, authentic. Yesterday, October 6th, a user on 4chan posted a 125GB torrent link, claiming the leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.

The file is publicly available to download, as verified by VGC, The Record, and more.

The leaked Twitch data reportedly includes:

• The entirety of Twitch’s source code, back to its early beginnings
• Creator payout records from 2019
• An unreleased Steam competitor named Vapor, from Amazon Game Studios
• Mobile, desktop, and console Twitch clients
• Proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch
• Information relating to Twitch’s other properties, including IGDB and CurseForge
• Twitch’s internal ‘red teaming’ tools – designed to improve security by having staff pretend to be hackers

Here's a more comprehensive list of leaked Twitch payouts (I will keep updating this thread as more things come out). pic.twitter.com/15JItvp6l4

Twitter uses have started combing the 125GB of leaked info. One user claims that the leak includes encrypted passwords.

It is recommended that you change your Twitch password and set up two-factor authentication. If you were using your Twitch password for any other sites, it’s best to change those as well.

Here’s how to turn on two-factor identification:

Log on to Twitch, click your avatar and choose Settings.
Go to Security and Privacy, then scroll down to the Security setting.
If you haven’t already, you will be able to activate two-factor authentication from here. You’ll need your phone to follow the instructions.

As always, stay safe online and be careful which sites you give your personal data. Avoid reusing password and email combinations on multiple sites, and keep your personal data as private as possible.
