Today, Twitch is unveiling a new experience that gets great games in your hands faster, rewards you with goodies, AND lets you support your favorite streamers. Now, when a streamer is playing a game available on Twitch, you'll be able to purchase it directly from his or her channel page. You can learn more about Twitch Crates here.
Twitch is starting with about 50 titles, and they'll keep on adding new games. The games you can get on Twitch now include Darkest Dungeon, Enter the Gungeon, Firewatch, Nuclear Throne, The Banner Saga 2, Paladins, For Honor, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and more. Buying games on Twitch allows you to support your favorite broadcaster, as Twitch will share 5% of the purchase price with Partnered Streamers that have opted into their commerce program when you buy from their channel page.
Additionally, for games or in-game items that cost $4.99 or more, you'll earn a Twitch Crate that includes randomly generated rewards such as emotes, badges, and Bits. To celebrate this awesome launch, Twitch is giving you a chance to win prizes to enhance your gaming experience! From now through the end of May, each time you make a purchase that qualifies for a Twitch Crate, you'll earn an invitation for a chance to win sweet gaming and streaming gear.

Posted Apr 5, 2017It looks like your antivirus didn't detect sarcasm.msi there. Oops.
Perhaps I should have clarified, Curse sold out to Twitch and now we have to digest said companies advertisements.

Posted Apr 6, 2017That... doesn't look like sarcasm. Saying "Minecraft Forum/Curse sells out" when you only really meant Curse isn't sarcasm. Sarcasm is not now the catch-all term for when you're not being literal about something. It'd be sarcasm if you'd said it in such a way that was actually trying to make the point that MCForum wasn't selling out.
You have to digest ads all the time.

Posted Apr 5, 2017If I wanted to support Twitch, I'd go to Twitch and do it.
Ads are one thing, this is another. Even the little unintrusive thing at the top wouldn't be that bad.
If you're required to do this, by contract or instruction from higher-ups, I feel sorry for you.

Posted Apr 6, 2017Yes users of free to use websites must subject themselves to advertisements so the lights can be kept on.
Now we have more advertisements to hinder people's usage of this website.
It's a real shame this website is being manipulated by the higher ups to run Twitch advertisements.
Also, you seem to be one of the only (if not the only) person defending Twitch, Curse and MCF here. How much were you paid? I would like some too.

Posted Apr 6, 2017Wut lol.
How terrible. I'm sure the staff are feeling really oppressed right now.
Thousands.
In fact, everyone on every other Curse forum is being paid the same, seeing as how this is the only forum complaining about it! Pretty crazy coincidence, huh? There's no way we could possibly have a valid point, is there?

Posted Apr 6, 2017This website already crawls on both my mobile device and my Chromebook.
I never mentioned the MCF or Curse staff, and to be honest I don't really know who they are, bar Citricsquid.
Well if you are being paid to do you job, I don't see a point in arguing with a salaryman. Is the cash paid per hour or per complaint deflect?

Posted Apr 6, 2017The Twitch advertisements are incredibly unintrusive, blame the massive ads.
Or just download adblock, whatever.
Then who exactly is being manipulated?
You just completely ignored the point in exchange for lulz, good job mate.

Posted Apr 8, 2017This is one of the worst coded websites I have ever seen. There are almost 80 dings on this site when it loads (according to the ad blocker). Even with all the advertising blocked it still lags horribly.

Posted Apr 8, 2017Why the hell would anyone be so stupid as to pay for Premium? I just don't get why people throw away their money like that.
And as far as I'm concerned NOBODY who comes here to visit has an obligation to pay for this site to be running.

Posted Apr 8, 2017They... they like Curse and want to support it?
Same reason they throw away their money to charity. What do you think of charity, out of curiosity?
I agree, but they do have an obligation if they're going to complain when Curse needs to resort to other methods.

Posted Apr 8, 2017Exactly, I'm only able to browse this on my relatively powerful gaming computer. Otherwise I just browse reddit on the Chromebook or phone.
