as of today, Twitch is forcing 2 stage (which doesn't work here) so thats the end of watching Gog... just a heads up guys

What exactly is 2 stage?

2-factor authentication, I'm guessing.

This isn't new, however. Back in May they had to combat abuse.

Title of the thread is misleadingly alarmist though.

Well at some point they started forcing unblockable ads, that's pretty much when I was done watching.

Never been a fan of gogs twitch, do watch some twitch, but I don't follow a regular streamer I just do it to get a gist of games im interested in and how they play. What I definitely dislike is e-celebs and their 'drama' and I have no idea why some people fanatically subscribe to channels but that's just my opinion.

Why would you need 2FA just for watching? I haven't received any notification at least.

You're not missing much to be honest. Amazing how uninteresting the channel has become in the last couple of years.

A fancy term for "Order 99".

Are they just square ads in the borders? If so that's not that big a deal imo.

No, it's a preroll ad that lasts too long and you have to see it every time you start watching (including when you refresh because the stream crapped out).

Can you mute it? If so simply do so and browse while you wait or do stuff irl to pass the time......problem solved(mostly). :)

That pic would be nice if not for the crap watermark...seriously companies that do that so people have to pay to get a clean image need to be sent to the corporate gulags.
