subs and money laundering is bannable? I thought that was an IRS matter.

Of course it would be bannable?

It's a first degree felony and could be facing up to 30 years.

 

[JackNightblade]

Hasnt twitch banned trump as well?

And is Doc a trump support? Never knew he was racist or into public retardation...........

calls other people retarded.

resorts to calling them racist and retarded simply for not having the same opinion or letting CNN brainwash them into believing half the population is racist.

 

[Woo-Fu]

what reason would've have for buying out his contract? it would literally be paying money in order to not make money.

Opportunity cost, duh. Perhaps he has a better offer that will mean more money, including whatever it costs to buy his contract out.

No one is paying him more than Twitch to stream.

That's a fact.

I mean, the racist thing is a bit dumb, but let's be honest here, Trump is a fucking idiot. I don't care if you're left or right, Trump is a huge fucking retard

Ok, Nostradamus.

 

[Grinchy]

Wow it's Tuesday evening and we still don't know what the fuck happened here.

How is this the best kept public secret?

 

[GeorgPrime]

That's a fact.

And someone like Facebook Gaming comes and offers you a contract three times more valuable than the one you have.

Yeh, bit of a bitch move, if it helps I'd chat shit about any side, either it's all allowed, or nothing at all.

I have no horse in this, just poking with a stick, and seeing what will happen. Time to grow up........

 

[Texas Pride]

Public pressure should've prompted a response. I don't care if it's their platform or not. He drove a lot of traffic Twitches way and they owe those people an explanation. Now they just look like unprofessional amateurs.

That's actually a legitimate point and it's very disrespectful of Twitch not to explain to their users what the hell is going on. It makes me think there could be serious legal ramifications if they talk about it.

 

[Uhtred]

I cannot believe in this day and age, we still do not know anything yet. I am super impressed that is been kept secret and not leaked.

 

[Barakov]

Major legal shit, I suspect. Given that Doc's sponsors dropped him and undropped him, I'm guessing somebody on Twitch's side fucked up majorly and Twitch had to permaban to hide their fuck up. Threat of legal action is a good way to get people to shut up about something.

 

[AGRacing]

It makes me think there could be serious legal ramifications if they talk about it.

Yeah. Probably because they could be sued for defamation if they don't have ....... THE RECEIPTS!

 

[Ogbert]

I cannot believe in this day and age, we still do not know anything yet. I am super impressed that is been kept secret and not leaked.

Probably because it’s a genuine contractual dispute involving lots of money, so lawyers are involved rather than some vapid cretins with Twitter accounts.

Actually quite refreshing!

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Best case scenario - This was a major flub up on Twitches part and they get torn to shreds by Docs legal team for defamation. They owe Doc more than Amazon is willing to pay so they just sign over Twitch to him. Champions club takes over Twitch. Donald Trump is unsuspended. SJW's melt into a puddle and flee to another platform. Twitch, now free of it's worst disease then expands to take over the internet as the biggest streaming platform. Trump goes on to host his campaign on Twitch as usual. Trump wins the election. Trump praises Twitch and gives Doc the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Doc proudly displays it in his already bursting to the brim case full of medals and trophies. The world starts swinging back towards sanity and away from the left. Love and sanity wins the day.

Esp in an age where intel from the CIA/FBI/etc... makes it into media outlets at the same times are the executive branch lol...

 

[Birdo]

Maybe nobody actually knows. Not even Twitch

[replicant-]

Now they just look like unprofessional amateurs.

No change there then.

 

[cormack12]

Is he actually good at games? Are any of these streamers like Ninja? Do they have like 6:1 KDRs? Or is it just the attitude of thinking they are good?

He’s decent. He has some really good moments. And when he’s bad he blames the audio or game mechanics. He’s fun to watch, even for someone like me who usually hates streamers (Id rather play than watch).

 

[Skyr]

They are either entertaining, skilled or both.
Doc is on the entertaining side of the spectrum while someone like shroud who has the personality of a potatoe is on the skilled side.

PC player? Reminds me of me 15 years ago on CS

 

[Optimistic Gamer]

Best case scenario - This was a major flub up on Twitches part and they get torn to shreds by Docs legal team for defamation.

Defamation(sometimes known as calumny, vilification, libel, slander or traducement) is the oral or written communication of a false statement about another that unjustly harms their reputation and usually constitutes a tort or crime.

Did they say something (negative) about him?

 

[TriSuit666]

PC player? Reminds me of me 15 years ago on CS

And that right there is the good Dr's schtick. He is the sizzle on the sausage, baayyybe.

 

[Klart]

Nomen est omen.

 

[V4skunk]

All the rumours are pointing to Doc, Shroud and Ninja creating their own platform.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Blockbuster back to back champ hot damn that song is legit

 

[dorkimoe]

All the rumours are pointing to Doc, Shroud and Ninja creating their own platform.

Yeah. I think he was just buying out his contract and breaching it even with buying it out is bannable maybe.

 

[Flintty]

Doc is a rarity in that he’s blessed with both skill and charisma. And the voice of a fucking angel.

 

[Rikoi]

He also looks like Freddie Mercury, I think that helped him a lot.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Did they say something (negative) about him?

I said it was a best case scenario. It was just me being silly.

However, I would argue that the banning in and of itself implies a negative on Docs part. You don't get banned for doing something positive.

 

[Skyr]

How can anyone hate this man????

 

[MiguelItUp]

How can anyone hate this man????

Honestly, no kidding. I'd tune in periodically. But, I mean, even if you're not into the guy's content, you have to respect what work and effort he put into it.

Nothing against a lot of "big" streamers, but a lot of them just have an intro, outro, and brb screen. This guy has a whole lot more. He gives it a whole other layer of entertainment that I don't think a lot of streamers do at all.

Several streamers got banned for showing boobs. Check mate.

He was the reason I tuned in to Twitch, really don’t know what I’ll be watching now. The production values of his stream were insane, you watch him for more than just the gaming part, it’s one big show. The guy literally changed my perception of what a streamer should be.

 

[ManaByte]

Except for Alinity of course.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

Yeah I'm not really into twitch but this guy is next level. He had the showman ship of peak WWF.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Except for Alinity of course.

Yup, and at least a handful of others that clearly showcase their stream around their bodies with what they wear and the position of their cameras. Lol.

Yeah I’d often watch the intro and half hour of chatter then 10 mins of gaming then done. Always interested to see what he had to say and how he’d say it.

We against boobs now?

 

[ManaByte]

We're against them permanently banning a streamer while giving Alinity a pass for throwing her cat and flashing her tits.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Yeah I have no interest in using twitch for anything other than Dr Disrespect. He was actually entertaining, I don't really give a shit about watching a bunch of non-entertaining nerds play video games.
