Escape From Tarkov: The creator of Escape from Tarkov, Battlestate Games, has been prohibited from using Twitch. As well as frequently conducting giveaways for fans to win custom in-game stuff, Battlestate uses the live-streaming service to provide updates on Escape from Tarkov.
Escape from Tarkov, which entered early access in 2017, soon rose to prominence as one of the most horrific survival games on the market and a favorite among gamers. The enormous battle royale first-person shooter incorporates aspects from other comparable games like Call of Duty Warzones but adds a detailed layer of complexity more akin to Rust.
Players must overcome a severe learning curve as they have complete control over even the most minor features, such as armament that can be altered from the sight and stock to the dust covers and grips. The official Battlestate Twitch channel is temporarily disabled because it violates the site’s Terms of Service, viewers who try to watch it will be informed when they try to get a glimpse of Tarkov.
Since Twitch never discloses why a channel is removed, and the Battlestate team has been silent on the subject, it is still unclear why the team was banned. The devs have experienced Twitch bans in the past as well. The account was taken offline in 2019 after one of the team members allegedly pointed an empty gun toward their head and pressed the trigger.
Suspension of accounts for Twitch streamers is also nothing new. Russian broadcaster Mira‘s Twitch account was suspended last month for an unspecified reason, and although it has since been restored, Mira is still dissatisfied with the situation.
The well-known person attacked Twitch’s terms of service, stating that the live-streaming website is fostering misogyny on the network by demeaning women’s bodies. Although the duration of the Battlestate channel’s inactivity is unknown to fans, this hasn’t stopped the devs from carrying on with the New Year’s Drops Event they are hosting in collaboration with other well-known streamers.
When players link their accounts and watch any sponsored streams, these drops—related to the recently released Escape from Tarkov patch 0.13—look to reward them with unique in-game items. Even a Twitch ban won’t stop the Escape from Tarkov team from advertising their game.
At the same time, they work toward a complete release because Battlestate has already used content drops on Twitch to boost Tarkov’s reputation among players.
