Battlestate Games banned from Twitch

Battlestate Games are the developers of Tarkov. Now, Amazon’s streaming platform has banned these developers. Twitch is known for banning people if they violate any of its guidelines. And according to many rumors, this is what has happened with Battlestate as well. Moreover, this is not the first time the developers are getting banned from Twitch.

The Twitch platform banned Battlestate Games in 2019. Now, amidst Battlestate Games’ new year celebrations on Twitch, they got banned again. The reason for the ban has not yet been issued formally. But many suspect it to be due to the violation of Twitch rules.

According to the subreddit of Tarkov, many speculate that the ban came because of the use of replica guns by the developers. Twitch is intolerant towards the use of prop guns or anything of that sort on their platform.

The ban announcement of the developers has erupted debates on the internet about Twitch.

Internet erupts after the ban of Tarkov developers.

Many people have voiced their opinions on Twitch’s ban on Battlestate Games. There were many who criticized the streaming platform and its policies. Moreover, they even voiced the need for a better streaming platform.

People think that Twitch, with its stringent rules and laws, is killing its own platform. Furthermore, the banned games and developers will most probably go to Twitch’s competitors and this would affect the platform negatively.

Although rules are essential for a platform to be user-friendly to its viewers, many are feeling Twitch’s policies to be ‘partial’. That is, according to some people, these policies are only being implemented on a few. Moreover, they tend to think that Twitch is not banning things ‘that needs to be banned’.

For now, there has not been any indication of how long the ban might last. But, some people speculate it to only last for a couple of days. Chiefly because the bans implemented on hot tub streamers were revoked pretty fast by the streaming platform.
