Microsoft’s streaming device Keystone shelved because it was too expensive, says Spencer

November 16, 2022VG247

A decent price point in its current iteration could not be met. Microsoft was looking to get into the game streaming business with its own device, codenamed Keystone, but apparently, what the team designed would have been too expensive for consumers. This is according to the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, who told The Verge the team decided instead to focus its effort on delivering the smart TV streaming app to Samsung sets (thanks, ResetEra).

Folks on the internet seem to think Xbox gaming boss Phil Spencer is teasing Microsoft’s “Keystone” streaming device. While looking over a tweet from the executive showing off shelves of items, on the very top shelf there’s a small white box that looks similar to a mini-Xbox. Even the power button looks similar. This has led many to believe the small box is the streaming device Microsoft has in the works under the codename…

Twitch Pulls Shooting Vid Quickly, But Facebook And Streamable Reuploads Reached Millions

May 16, 2022Kotaku

Amazon-owned streaming platform Twitch said it removed a livestream of a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York over the weekend within two minutes of it going live. But that response time was not enough to stop recordings of the footage from spreading to other online platforms, like Facebook, where links to the heinous act remained accessible for hours. This once again raises questions about how much social media companies are really invested in moderating harmful content.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is the most watched game on Twitch in 2021

December 24, 2021VG247

The statistic shows the massive tail that the game has. Kotaku reports that according to the latest year in review report from stream tools company StreamElements, Grand Theft Auto 5 is the most watched game on Twitch, dominating a chart full of games that have solidly lodged themselves at the top for multiple years running. It might sound slightly surprising that a game that’s eight years old is still topping the Twitch charts, but that’s because Twitch doesn’t differentiate between Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online, the source of the former’s extremely long tail and a seemingly…

This is the implicit question of the week on Twitch, and it’s all thanks to Imane “Pokimane” Anys.
