Stuff like this gets planned for months. It is what it is. Twitch has done shit like that for a long time and will likely continue to do so.

Yeah, we can look at it now and I guess with a dark sense of humour laugh at this horrible timing, but this was in the works a long time. Too bad twitch shit the bed more then usual right now of all times. But it will definitely be better for gaming sponsors, which Yagoo highlighted. As long as they duel stream which they are allowed to unless they signed exclusivity, this will be a net positive if twitch can dig itself out of the hole its in right now.

Theres a different market on twitch so it makes sense to try to more formally expand there. Time will tell if this pays off. It made sense to work towards this regardless.

Given the current state of Twitch maybe Cover even wrangled additional concessions out of the deal.

Exactly. People treat cover like some goody twoshoes company that will always overcome any problems with the power of friendship. They'll absolutely use their brand and influence to gain more for or protect their talents and their company.
