Overwatch Contenders to Test New Chat Moderation Program

This probably means they can try to extend the gem system even further, so people who watch overwatch can also join in the process of being milked by acti-blizz

George Orwell would be proud. For reference as to what happens when you make twitch politically correct, refer to the dota2 ESL tournaments which were on Facebook.

So once you ignore the childish conspiracies it becomes no different then the sub only channels except it isn't locked behind a pay wall.

I really don't like this. Twitch chat is a guilty pleasure and part of watching esports for me plus as others have said it's probably also done in cooperate economic interests.

fuck this leftist utopia.

Taking bets on how many "Trihard 7" it'll take to get my account permabanned.

Yup, now you can lose your game if you talk trash in twitch.

Lmao. Because corporate greed and data gathering is such an historic left-wing activity. Seriously, if you're this obsessed with hating other people because of your presumption of their political leanings, try going outside for a bit. It's not healthy.

Why doesn't Blizzard just stream their shitty e-sports on their own streaming site like they did with BlizzCon?

I'm not savvy with American politics but wouldn't a right-wing "utopia" would get you banned much, much faster? Christian server?

Neither is swallowing every drop from blizzard

I remember how I was banned at the blizzard twitch stream for posting a cmonbrah emote randomly. I guess they hate black people.

So lose all your Blizzard games if you say something they don’t like?

Whelp, I don’t even watch Overwatch stuff, but I’ve unlinked my twitch and battle.net account. Fuck knows where else they’ll start enforcing this.

You can't hide the truth!

Nope!
The fastest way to assure your chat will end up as a barren wasteland.

He said you can lose by being banned, not that you will. By linking your accounts you will giveaway the ability to do so. What else do you need to know?

It's funny how now being an obnoxious dick is considered 'left wing' these days
