This is really quite a silly move, I wonder when they will begin coming after other front ends. Only a matter of time now.. twitch have been cracking down on Android TV third party clients.
Wait, are they going after s0und?
Based on previous updates, Twitch are making it increasingly more difficult - per changelog...
There WILL be a time when watching Live Streams and VOD won't be possible anymore in the app. I am not here to fearmonger, this is just a reality check, a reminder.
Considering the Twitch app has been broken on ShieldTV for over a year, it doesn't bode well.
ugh that is disappointing to hear. The ads on twitch have gotten out of control recently and every time I find myself opening twitch on my PC I close the tab and wait until I sit on the couch. Plus the PIP feature is downright the best.
