I always feel the same about soccer.

So we have two Piran's now, huh... ;P

Well, I am very happy to see Syt on the list. Can't wait for the stream, hope I will find some time.

Why is there an empty spot where one of the 5 small banners should be? I suspected a regionally restricted game, but I'm getting the same result from France, Britain and the US.

I've given up hoping for that by now.

And I guess at least streaming doesn't result in hooligans demolishing half a city, so that's something :D

You can also point VLC to the URL using "Open Network Stream" and it will play. No quality options though.

Burn the heretic! =P

The development of livestreamer died years ago. But the beauty of open source software is that anyone can fork the software and continue development.

So while livestreamer died it continues living and being well maintained under the name of Streamlink.

@HunchBluntley But while Streamlink is a valid option to circumvent the crappy web player you would still have to be online while the stream is running. I also prefer to download Twitch streams at a later date. You are aware that Twitch stores the last few months worth of streams and you can access them by clicking on 'Videos' and select 'past broadcasts' on the selection (or just follow this link), right?

There you can currently find links to the last 645 streams. For example, the link to the Phantom Doctrine Developer Stream. Now instead of just clicking the link and watching it through the Twitch web player you could also feed the link to a downloader that knows how to download content from Twitch (like for example JDownloader2) and have it download the video in the highest quality available and watch it when it has finished downloading.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder about this feature! I'm not gonna download & install yet another piece of software (open-source or not) just for the rare Twitch stream I happen to watch live, but I've already got VLC, and I've never really delved into half its options. Just tested it for a couple minutes, and it seems to work fine. No chat, but I don't care much about that -- it just winds up distracting me. :)

One hour until the next stream!

I wish the Stream Team the best of luck. I've been on GOG's twitch channel ever since the beginning, back when Enigmatic T was still with us and they still used the twitch channel to make Witcher 3 and GOG Galaxy announcements. Then came a few "high profile" guest streams, and eventually the channel started evolving into its own thing, slowly, at first, then with more and more confidence and professionalism as time went by. I saw a lot of streamers come and go, some of whom I liked a lot, while... well... hugely disliking a few others, and not really missing them very much. But that plurality, that diversity has always been the biggest appeal of the GOG channel: there's bound to be a streamer in there that you'll enjoy.

In recent times -- and this is just an impression from an outsider, just someone who's been there since the very beginning, I'm not "in" on anything --, due to a multitude of factors, the channel kind of died down a bit. We lost too many streamers, there was a change in the Stream Team manager (even though things had started to go bad way before the community got word that the previous manager was resigning). I have my own opinions on these issues, but, sadly (this is the one thing I never really liked about GOG's twitch channel), we're only encouraged to discuss these matters with the current manager "in private"; nothing was ever discussed or addressed as a community, it's a very... secretive channel -- which I understand in regards to GOG and the upcoming games and the NDAs that are in place, but I don't really get when it comes to channel-specific issues that the whole community should be aware of and in on. It's a twitch channel with a very active community. Sure, it's a twitch channel for a company, not an individual, but it's still a whole community of people, and this whole "behind the curtains" attitude doesn't sit well with a lot of us, viewers. And the sad thing is this attitude promotes rumour and needless drama, whereas transparency would just lead to the viewers actually feeling like part of something. Yes, you're representing a company, GOG. But we're there as a group of friends, a community of people, just like on every other twitch channel. No one's asking you to openly talk politics or religion in "GOG's name", but at least make an effort to sound like human beings when addressing matters pertaining to the state of the channel, instead of the PR talk you've been serving us for years.

I'm free to talk all the crap that I want about GOG right here, on their own forums (I don't, but a lot of people do, and I don't see any kind of censorship, unless the person doing it is being offensive or borderline criminal in the way they do it); no one tells me to go "take it up with a blue". We're all GOG, we're the ones giving GOG their money, paying the GOG people for their services. So, yeah, maybe some of us feel a bit entitled to being part of some sort of community. Rightfully so, if you ask me. But on GOG's twitch channel, this community feeling is restricted to five or six other users, as the streamers decrease in number but grow in detachment from the viewer base, and everything is planned behind closed curtains, you have your little "Stream Team room" and your private jokes and you probably exchange "less than welcoming" remarks about some "troublesome" viewers (one of which I assume to be me). This is all conjecture, by the way, I have no "plant" inside the team, like I was accused of in the past -- an accusation which incidentally led to a person I considered to be a friend completely ceasing all communication with me because they didn't want people to think they were that "spy" some higher-ups in the Stream Team thought I had. So, I hope we can stop this nonsense once and for all, and start promoting actual transparent and honest conversation (sometimes it will be ugly, yes, I apologize) between the team and the viewers, and not treat every voice of slight dissent as if we were trolls or being offensive for the sake of being mean and rude.

Anyway, as it stands, now, the GOG channel is a sinking ship. That's the way the previous manager left it, and I wish Piranjade the best of luck, because she'll need it. I don't want the channel to die, as opposed to the policies governing it as I might be. I've made some good friends, in there, it kept me company for many countless nights while I worked. I hope -- I really do -- that this guest streamer extravaganza week gives the GOG twitch channel the boost it desperately needs, or that it's a step in the right direction, at least. I only watched that guy playing Morrowind (wasn't a fan, mostly because of the viewers he brought along with him, but the channel can't be picky, right now, if he wants to become a regular, take it) and PapayaChemist (whom I follow, and honestly think is GOG material; I don't even understand why she didn't become a regular after her first guest stream, a while back). I don't really care about Gwent, but I'll take a peek at the person streaming as of right now, I guess, just to have some notion of the new people who might be joining the regulars.

Good luck. Seriously. And sincere apologies for the absurdly long post, I've been meaning to say these things for a while, and this seemed like a great opportunity to do so.

Oh, another social networks related news. Definitely not interested in. But enjoy spending your time watching someone else playing games.

The forums are moderated very loosely and that's the reason I still read them because the occasional interesting info because of this.
The twitch channel, on the other hand, feels like you get muzzled if real talk once in a while (keeping civil of course), as it happened with the topic of brexit and the host shushing me even though he started talking about it and he was still talking about it afterwards many times. I can only speculate why another streamer left pretty early without giving a more specific reason outside "something specific about the rules he doesen't like". I'm guessing it's some kind of agreement where you aren't allowed to say something specific, like anything bad about a game on GOG.
I get that most channels (and overall, a channel of a company) is about positivity and thus only saying positive things, but it gets to be a show where the actor always says "awesome this awesome that" real fast if you have some peer pressure bullshit. And yes, then, acting is the correct term.
