re: #47 Targetpractice
Nah, this ban apparently isnât connected to that. Whatever it was, it was so bad that they perma-banned his ass, ripped up a multiyear contract he just signed, are refunding all subs to his channel, and have wiped everything from said channel. This is the sort of response you only see from companies like Amazon when a âcelebrityâ connected to them has either been arrested or is about to be with connection to a serious felony.
Twitch, of course, can do whatever it wants, but the circumstances around this permaban do seem unusual. Like you said, abruptly severing all ties with a âcelebrityâ is more the sort of corporate decision youâd be likely to see when a major crime is involved and Twitchâs current silence on the matter could be down to legal reasons. Ripping up a multi-year contract, refunding subscribers and wiping everything from Dr Disrespectâs channel is a serious move and not something any corporation would take lightly.
Guess weâll find out in the days ahead.
