Hey friends. Playing some Baldur's Gate 3 and my wife showed up and magic happened - and I don't just mean Gale and Lae'Zel, although that's relevant. Check this quick clip.

Hello, everyone! Gonna hop on #Youtube with some #CrusaderKings2 for about an hour or so, give or take a bit. Let's have fun! (I should be on #Twitch too, but YT seems the place most of you will see this)

Alrighty, wrapped that up for the evening. A test is a test. We'll see if it worked.

About to try something interesting: Gonna try to go #live from #Youtube as well as #Twitch. #Tribes3Rivals time.

@chloe_hnng @Twitch The "ten times more to run" thing is an issue I was not aware of, and I extend my apologies for that.

But with that said: A gaming culture is not an easy thing to develop, and South Korea is known for having gaming cultures. It *should* be able to be profitable.

[FrostPDP @FrostPDP]

Kinda feel like I'm done with @Twitch/#Twitch after seeing the pain in this woman's face.

I've read that they're bailing because it's "too expensive to operate." But, like...What?

The sheer amount of power they have is kinda grotesque.

“My career, everything that I’ve made… just everything will be gone.”

Korean streamer @twitch_yummy_2 reacted to Twitch leaving South Korea and her losing her job

New #Youtube video on modding #Brigandine @BRIGANDINE_LoR /@BRIGANDINE_TLoR over on #Steam.

@GlowingToast @Twitch Okay, so that's a bit better of an explanation of how this is working.

I get the sensation that Twitch, and possibly others are simply not going to be able to allow their website to be accessible from S. Korea? Since they'd have to send their bits to be double-dipped?

[FrostPDP @FrostPDP]

@GlowingToast @Twitch The article just says, "The high fees come from South Korea's law that dictates content providers have to pay volume-dependent fees in order to deliver their digital goodies through Korean internet service providers"

But, like...How?

[FrostPDP @FrostPDP]

@GlowingToast @Twitch I'm more confused now than I was earlier.

What exactly is the thing being fee'd/taxed that makes it so Twitch has to cut its South Korean folks off...Unless they Partner in a different country?

Or is that just OP's mistake in thinking she could do that?

[FrostPDP @FrostPDP]

@GlowingToast @Twitch Also: I believe this streamer said she could restart based in North America, meaning she'd be starting over but still working for Twitch?

I mean, like, is Twitch gonna ISP block all of South Korea for this?

It's just weird.

[FrostPDP @FrostPDP]

@GlowingToast @Twitch I'm gonna assume you're talking about this? https://t.co/FAHfKOUU1E

I wasn't aware of this specific issue, but even with that in mind, doesn't the infrastructure being in place make up for some of those costs?
