Sims streamers are distancing themselves from EA, but for some the choice is hard

Sims streamers are distancing themselves from EA, but for some the choice is hard

Published by Webster

The Sims 4 community is in turmoil. Its biggest stars are distancing themselves from the game with the support of their millions of subscribers. Then there are creators in the middle: those big enough to be known, but not big enough to be insulated. And they are struggling with a difficult choice of whether or not to keep playing the game they love and, in some cases, depend on. Last month, The Sims’ publisher EA announced that it would be acquired for $55 billion dollars by a combination of investors including the Saudi Arabia Private Investment Fund, and Affinity Partners, an investment firm founded by President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. The news sent shockwaves throughout The Sims’ community. Players expressed concern that the company’s new owners would use their position to influence future content. The Sims and its community has long been celebrated for its inclusivity. It is a queer game played and loved by queer people. That it could soon be owned in part by an ultra-conservative, anti-LGBTQ government prompted the game’s most popular …

Vikramaditya Motwane says no space left for indie films in India: ‘Even streamers aren’t our saviours’ | Bollywood News

Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane, who kicked off 2025 on a strong note with the critical and commercial success of his Netflix series Black Warrant, has expressed concern over the shrinking space for independent cinema in India. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the director reflected on how drastically the landscape has changed in the last decade. “The fact that Phantom could make Masaan once, for example, I think that industry has changed right now,” he said, referencing the now-defunct Phantom Films. “I don’t think there’s space for an indie film for a theatrical audience, or even for a streaming audience.” Motwane pointed out the lack of purely artistic Indian films being backed by local studios or platforms post-pandemic. “If you think about it, when was the last purely artistic film that was made for streaming since the pandemic? I can’t think of a single one that has been made without an international producer,” he said. “There was a lot of talk about India at Cannes last year — we had four films in …

Twitch is limiting streamers to 100 hours of Highlights and Uploads

Twitch is limiting streamers to 100 hours of Highlights and Uploads

Published by Webster

Twitch is planning to cull some of the content archived by streamers to save on storage costs. On Wednesday the streaming platform announced that it will introduce a 100-hour storage cap for Highlights and Uploads starting April 19th, warning that users will have their content automatically deleted until it falls below the limit. Twitch says it’s doing this because “Highlights haven’t been very effective in driving discovery or engagement,” and it isn’t worth the cost of storing thousands of hours of such content. Twitch is owned by Amazon, a market-leading cloud storage provider — a detail that hasn’t gone unnoticed by streamers criticizing the decision. The update only applies to Highlights — specific snippets edited from recordings of live broadcasts (VODs) using the Highlighter tool to showcase the streamer’s best moments — and uploaded footage created using third-party services. Other kinds of on-demand content, including Clips and VODs (the latter of which are already automatically deleted) won’t be impacted by the new storage limit. Twitch users who have already exceeded the cap can download Highlights …

Streamer’s apology for racist rant exposes the rot in streaming culture

Published by Webster

Last week, top Twitch streamer Zach Hoyt, better known as Asmongold, went on a racist rant against Palestinians, expressing apathy for the relentless military campaign against them that has claimed over 40,000 lives, many of them children. “I don’t give a fuck,” he said. “They’re terrible people.” Hoyt is known for his incendiary language, but reactions to this recent outburst were enough to give him pause. Shortly after the stream, Hoyt posted an apology, saying, “Looking back on it, I was way too much of an asshole about the Palestine thing. My bad.” Twitch suspended his channel for 14 days, and Hoyt said that he would be stepping away from leadership duties at his media company, OTK, and its subsidiaries. In a video posted to YouTube, Hoyt said streaming has had a negative impact on his personality and that over the last two years, he’s been, “slowly devolving into the most mean-spirited … rude, nasty, callous, psychopathic version of myself.” Hoyt’s video has unintentionally shed light on a major reason that being online can feel so …

Music streamer elevates Twitch nudity trend with pixelation tactic

Published by Webster
