Twitch streamer buys new game for $200 a day ahead of everyone else – Can’t resist, immediately regrets it

Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

When new games come out, some Twitch streamers do everything they can to get their hands on the game early. They promise themselves a lot of viewers if they show it in front of everyone else. But as a streamer from the USA has now noticed, this can also cause trouble. According to the streamer NaDeXe, he bought an extra early version of NBA 2k23 and received a Twitch ban.

What game is it?

  • Take-Two’s new basketball game, NBA 2k23, isn’t actually out until today, September 9th.
  • However, the Twitch streamer NaDeXe says he got an “early version” of the game for $200 (via twitter). Already on September 8th at 6 am he got his hands on the game. At the time, the servers for NBA 2k23 were still offline.
  • On the afternoon of September 8th, the servers went online and the Twitch streamer started. He was one of the first online with his “copy bought early” – well before the launch of the digital version. He flew “extra to New Zealand” for this, he joked.

    Early start is worthwhile for Twitch streamers – many viewers

    This is how it went: When the Twitch streamer ventured onto the platform with NBA2k23, viewers just flocked to him

  • About 3,000 spectators watched him on average
  • At the top, the number even went up to 4,533
  • The numbers were about 4 times his normal values, so it was a resounding success
  • Streamer apparently ruins 11 years of career in 14 seconds – Twitch permanently bans him

    48-hour twitch ban after Take-Two copyright strike

    That was his bad luck: After a few hours he was banned from Twitch. Because Take-Two had reported a “copyright infringement”.

    He received a 48-hour ban from Twitch, which is the normal penalty for such violations.

    So now NaDeXe couldn’t do anything with his $200 game on Twitch.

    Streamer receives a ban for violating an embargo that did not exist

    This was the mean: The streamer complained that the ban was completely unfair since he was streaming at the same time as everyone else.

    And indeed, the ban seems to be an accident. Because on September 6, Ronnie 2k, a marketing specialist from 2k with 1.4 million followers on Twitter, announced: There is no embargo for streamers. Anyone can just stream once the servers are online.

    Oddly enough, however, Ronnie2k then tweeted on September 8 at 4:30 p.m. that the streaming embargo had been lifted (via twitter).

    In any case, it was a false start for twitch streamer NaDeXe. He’s currently serving his ban on Twitch and streaming on YouTube.

    There are always very strange bans:
