<p><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-27/amazon-s-twitch-seeks-to-revamp-creator-pay-with-focus-on-profit"><u>Ad Induced Twitch</u></a></p> <ul> <li>Amazon is considering making some changes to its Twitch tiers and their payout to streamers</li> <li>With some models not having changed in almost 10 years, pay cuts could be reduced by as much as 20% at the top tier</li> <li>Possibly the biggest change to come with these considerations is.. Ads!! Yes, who’s surprised?? Ads everywhere!</li> <li>It’s been noted that creators who stream for at least 40 hours a month can receive up to $100 just by running 2 mins/hr of ads. This amount obviously goes up with ad minutes. However, this new proposal would introduce a revenue sharing “arrangement” which would be more “lucrative” for streamers.</li> <li>A final interesting note to these changes is that Twitch would consider releasing anyone from their exclusivity deals, who may be a part of one.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://gamerant.com/dead-by-daylight-david-king-gay/"><u>A Dead Hard in the right direction</u></a></p> <ul> <li>Behavior Interactive has officially announced that David King is their first gay character in DBD</li> <li>In a tweet today Behavior acknowledged the lack of LGBTQIA2+ from the character roster and have been working to change that</li> <li>Behavior has been working closely with the GaymerX organization, whose expertise is in integrating LGBTQIA2+ themes into video games</li> <li>David is was released in the Lullaby for the Dark chapter in July of 2017 and is one of DBD’s 10 most popular characters</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/26/23043678/microsoft-xbox-cloud-gaming-10-million-people-streamed"><u>There’s room in the clouds</u></a></p> <ul> <li>More than 10 million people have streamed games over Xbox Cloud Gaming, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Tuesday during the company’s third-quarter earnings call</li> <li>It is however currently unclear as what Microsoft is defining as a streamed game (current subscribers, streamed game time, ect)</li> <li>As a side note you can subscribe for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just a dollar and then cancel so as stated it’s still unclear if people who did that are counted in the numbers</li> <li>The cloud gaming feature is available on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier for 14.99 a month</li> </ul>

No time frame for JSR</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/long-running-mmo-tera-shutting-down-in-june"><u>Say goodbye and Don’t Tera Up</u></a></p> <ul> <li>Gameforge and Bluehole will be shutting down Tera (On PC) on June 30th</li> <li>An official announcement on the Tera Steam page states it is ending PC support to “focus internal development efforts on other projects”</li> <li>This however leaves the question what does this mean for console players? There currently is no answer to this</li> <li>Gameforge says the Tera websites and social media pages will be going away as well. But Gameforge accounts will be safe</li> <li>What could this mean?</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://gamerant.com/playstation-free-to-play-games-ads/"><u>F2P, P2W, P2E?!? Oh, just Sony</u></a></p> <ul> <li>Are you a fan of F2P games? I think we all are to an extent!</li> <li>Well, Sony is going to dampen that by putting ads in F2P games..</li> <li>That’s right. Some Sony F2P games will no longer just be an argument of grinding more versus paying to win</li> <li>Sony plans to bring ads into F2P games running on Playstation platforms only, so far, late 2022</li> <li>They are making a system available to game devs to “help them further monetize their games.” The system will incorporate ads via in-game “billboards” and other entities. This advertising method will not be forced, but encouraged to F2P developers.</li> <li>The ads will be built-in at the platform level of this new system. This means easier integration for rewarding players for interacting with ads (skins, items, currency). They way ads are incorporated are up to the devs, but Sony supplies them.</li> <li>Allegedly, Sony is still contemplating taking a cut from advertising gains in this manner.</li> </ul>
