Paradox, Twitch and Sub-Button

[Groogy]

We very much understands that you guys would love some unique emotes by subscribing to the Twitch stream, and we would love to provide that to you but the problem is we don't want to charge you for it. The Streams are there to make you guys come closer to the people at the company and have a regular way to get information and interaction with us, having a sub button you pay for those extra features feels like we would be excluding a big part of our community that might not want to give that money and I think it is better to be as inclusive as possible when it comes to this.


Though I'm not @cKnoor so I might be way off on the actual reason, etc.

We have no plans to apply to get Twitch Partner status. In fairness to Twitch we've already got a version with all the tech upgrades on our account, we just don't have the sub button active. The main reason for this is that we want you to support us by buying our games rather than giving us money for streams. And on a personal level I don't like sub buttons where all you'd get is emotes, I want there to be something more, at least an alert for subs joining. Which is not something I want to add to our streams as it would disrupt the flow for the casters, and might look odd on ParadoxExtra.

With all that said, we have good contacts with Twitch and we'd love to at least add some emotes for you to use in chat, but no concrete plans yet.
