So there have been a couple big twitch streamers that wish to stream this game, but are confused on the fact if they could stream the game at all. Is there a way to have an official message from the devs of the game somewhere on the website (forums possibly) stating that they can stream this game and why it is okay to stream? - that way we can watch some of our favorite streamers play an awesome game :)

 

Plus it's good exposure for the game itself. i can't see this being a loss at all for you guys.

People streamed it in past and people keep streaming it. I don't see it as an issue. Wait a bit for others give you their own input though.

There is nothing in the PRO ToS that says you can't stream on twitch, But it may be illegal to stream on twitch due to Nintendo and Twitch.

yeah, people have streamed it before, without considering the rules of it. a streamer earlier talked with a staff member of twitch over the phone and was told that it would be a huge risk to stream the game due to there being no confirmation from either side. Your game isn't listed on the website, nor does your website provide any confirmation on the matter.

 

The staff say that if the game isnt registered on the website it probably is illegal to stream due to copyright. All im saying is if you take maybe 10 minutes of you day to put an announcement on the website, or put the game on the twitch TV list of games, you might be able to pull in more exposure than you already have, due to people not being scared to stream it.

 

i know that people stream it, but the amount of people i've seen not stream it due to what i'm talking about, is high as well. its the same thing with the vanilla wow server streams. People stream it, but the higher people were scared to due to legal. im sure your game isnt like that though :P so i don't see the harm in comforting your players :)

 

PS. when a person with 30k viewers at the time listen to the phone call of the game being sketchy, that's a rumor that will spread fast.

that too can be considered, but it didn't sound like they were not allowed to stream it just because of nintendo and twitch, but more of the fact that the staff members thought that the game itself was illegal due to the game not being supported by nintendo. because this kinda thing has happened before where nintendo like to take things down that people thought was okay. IE the Pokeorchestra recently and im sure there are other things.
