More DMCA takedowns to Twitch streamers have the guys wondering what the future of the platform looks like. Why can’t they get this figured out?! We also ask whether major streamers capping their donation limits is actually a good thing. Then we breakdown some drama in the Fortnite community. Producer Kali joins us to try and figure out some knock-off Halloween costumes, and on this week’s Patient Gamer we’ve got Darkest Dungeon. All of that and more on this week’s CheckpointXP On Demand!
This week on CheckpointXP On-Demand
- (0:00) Twitch Drama and DMCA
