You can now get subscriber emoticons, chat icons and more - all for charity!
We’ve had a blast on Twitch.tv/GOGcom, showing off games and engaging in streaming marathons, multiplayer tournaments and - as of late - a podcast. It has brought quite the community together with over 27 thousand followers and 1.7 million views, so the time has come for the next step.
Many of our regular viewers have asked why we’re not a Twitch Partner yet. Starting today, we are proud members of the Twitch Partner Program, a selection of the network’s quality streaming channels! This will allow us to grow even further, reach new viewers, and help a good cause. Should you choose to subscribe, your monthly $5 can get you access to subscriber-only features:
-- Access to subscriber-only emoticons,
-- A subscriber-only icon next to your name on chat,
-- Supporting a good cause.
If we could provide this all to you free of charge, we would - but since we can’t, we’re doing the next best thing. We are using this opportunity to help a gamer-focused charity - 100% of our share of the proceeds (sans tax) will go to <span class="bold">The AbleGamers Foundation</span>.
“We are thrilled to begin our new partnership with GOG,” said Steve Spohn, Chief Operations Officer of AbleGamers Charity. “Our mission to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through the power of video games aligns perfectly with GOG’s desire to bring the community together through awesome games.”
