We need a gaming industry crash, and I’m not exaggerating in the slightest.

last night at a party in SF, someone walked up to me, shook hands and said they’re from XYZ company. i politely apologized: ‘sorry i’m not from here, what does your company do?’ he said in a sarcastic tone: ‘wow she doesn’t know what we do’ he briefly explained, gave a 🙃 look and moved on to someone else. it was slightly uncomfortable.

This is peak anime for men 😭

We are aware of the recent rumors about StreamElements closing and we’re still trying to process everything. Creating widgets has been pretty much our full time job for the past couple of years and we poured so much time and effort into building a huge portfolio of products that relied on StreamElements. We are as frustrated as you are and honestly pretty scared about the future! We are considering all possible already existing tools or even something a bit more exciting. Who knows, maybe this is the beginning of something new! Not sure what comes next but we hope StreamElements gives everyone a grace period to fully transition, which will gives us time to do the same! We also hope we get the same kindness from all our users because from now on, we will have to rework dozens and dozens of widgets and make them compatible with totally different systems. We apologize in advance for any delays with finding the right alternative, re-releasing widgets and even replying to tickets. We will be doing our best to make this transition as easy as it can be and your support and patience will mean a lot 💜 We're also actively listening to suggestions on Discord so feel free to stop by!
