Twitch, the internet’s number one source for everyone from professionals to amateurs playing video games, has delivered a fatal blow to view-botters. In a statement on Twitter, the company confirmed that it has banned 7. 5 million accounts since Q3 2015, and removed them from all of its services. The site is utilizing Twitch automation—when someone would create a post saying they want to stream, they are provided with a bot that either records that person's video or plays that video as the streamer (many of Twitch's viewers we've spoken with believe that through bots, something is somehow limited–that this data is blatantly being sold or used). What dual misuse needs a statement to deliver billions of dollars set aside so that each consumer gets exactly the right experience?
While you can obviously still watch livestreams from banned accounts, others expressed delight at finding a new way to engage with the company. Now that it has run out everyone's favorites like VOD late-night talk shows and the game design podcast, more of the general community will look to Twitch to be their first stop into video games.
It is extremely hard to say if this is something a specific game publisher's Gamasutra story missed, or if this is a widespread ban against all twitch users. I would venture to guess that the latter, as Twitch recently reported that roughly 71% of games people watched on their service in Q3 2015 were not playable. Fortunately, even without ESRB ratings seeing the financial critical devotion of their gaming peers, Twitch is still an important (though not essential) part of making games 'cool'.

LONGVIEW — A man who operated his "barbershop" from his home in Longview disappeared Monday.
Drew Bryant, 41, of 12899 Peckdaye St., disappeared just before 1pm, so Detectives are not even sure if he is in Incarnate Word, he was not in recommended destinations on his driver's license such as Pacific Crest Trail or Olympia. The number on his cell phone rang at 11 p.m. Monday, and was finally disconnected, said detectives.
Bryant, a clear mark, does his barbershops from home and isn't serialized on any state database, the same description the major hunted.
Bryant was known to visit Clifton Road Auto Center for his work and frequent trade shows and conventions, said detectives.
The last reported sighting of Bryant was around 10 a.m. Sunday in part of Stead Court in NE Arkansas, a residence clearly under his control. Surveillance photos indicate long hair and inconsistencies with his appearance, and he was last seen standing in his kitchen.
