Twitch has responded to its controversial decision not to amend its revenue split for streamers.
At present, that split is 50/50 between Twitch and streamers, unlike key competition like YouTube that favours streamers with a 70/30 split. In a lengthy blog post last month, Twitch explained why it won’t be amending this.
Then, at TwitchCon San Diego during the Patch Notes livestream, Twitch addressed the issue once again.
Twitch’s chief monetisation officer Mike Minton was asked to respond to streamers upset by the news.
“The important thing for me is that me and my teams are one hundred percent focused on improving your ability to make income,” he said. “At the end of the day, we’re setting a framework for the long term so that you can all keep earning as long as possible and the next generation of streamers can have that same opportunity.”
