P.S. More Magic: The Gathering opening videos plz.

@MoistCr1TiKaL Was just watching your video gifting subs on Twitch. I don't know the exact reason the streams are crashing when you drop gift subs on them, but I can give you some info which could give you a better idea of a potential cause. Background: For scaling, Twitch...

[Benjamin Cassell @ben_cassell]
