Twitch No Longer Selling Games As Of November 27

  • 39

In April 2017, Twitch added a function that allowed viewers to support streamers by purchasing games and in-game items straight from Twitch. This system will no longer be available after November 27.

Users could purchase things from directly from a streamer's page, using the "Buy Now" button. The initiative began as a way to provide additional ways to support streamers directly, but Twitch is ending it because "it didn’t provide most streamers with significant additional revenue."

"We are discontinuing this feature to invest in other ways to help you obtain games and in-game items directly on Twitch while supporting streamers – including through extensions on Twitch like Amazon Blacksmith, which allows viewers to supports streamers through purchases of games and other items."
