There is any chance to get invite to twitch drop program ?
I think you had to sign up for it.
yea i know but where ?
Had a quick look for you and found this:
Q. As a streamer, how do I get Twitch Drops on my channel?
A. All you need to do is make sure your Twitch and Battle.net accounts are linked, and that you’re opted into Drops
i link my accounts but i stream diablo 4 and i want to have drops on my stream
Pretty sure that they are full.
They were accepting every single request at first and learned that Twitch had platform limits on how many people can be associated with such a programme.
Blizzard then started removing people who have already been accepted “at random” apparently, to make room to ensure their preferred content creators and affiliates were accepted.
They need to drop the twitch program.
We want to play the game not watch boring streamers to obtain unlocks
Just leave an eligible stream running on a mobile device or another computer out of sight out of mind until the drop is claimable. It’s one drop per week so it does not need to be left on indefinitely.
No, that’s the issue. It is a massive collusion against twitch customers.
Twitch sells adverts saying we will show you on channels that stream D4, “look at our viewership”. The customer pays an inflated price for lies.
The streamer is fooled into thinking they have viewers, they dont, nobody cares about watching boring people play a game they could be playing themself. It’s just an afk device.
Then there is the subs, this will vanish, because the fools willing to pay a tenner for a horse do exist. But will immediately cancel.
It’s all toxic.
Twitch is a part of the gaming ecosystem, whether you agree with how they monetize and apply their strategy or not. Just because you as an individual don’t agree with a practice does not ultimately mean it should not exist. You are normally more reasonable than that in other threads I’ve seen you participate in.

It’s more about that players all over will afk on a device to get the transmogs. It all just seems so messy, disingenuous and poorly timed.
Especially as it preys on collectors/completionists.
All content should be attained in game.
I did this in overwatch and it has permanently poisoned me against the practice.
I mean, just think of the wasted energy… Bandwidth… Time… It’s just a terrible concept.
I understand that, I’ve been a completionist in other games including Diablo 3, but I’ve accepted and that in games such as Destiny 2, and now Diablo IV it’s unrealistic to have the completionism mindset, due to the fact that it’s not so much dedication to a task, but spending a set amount of your income or wealth to penetrate artificially created barriers to complete the objective of 100%. It’s just the way games have evolved and ongoing participation by the end customer has cemented its now and future normalization.
Bandwidth is in abundance these days, at the highest level of business if it was not being used by an active workload/situation, if not re-balanced and users get more than their quota temporarily then it’s auctioned to the highest bidder who has their content/data/processing requirements on a non-urgent queue to improve performance or get their needs met for less cost. This is to ensure hardware/infrastructure is always making money one way or another depending on current demand and not sitting partially idle and costing money instead.
I personally don’t have an issue with it, it will help out a few streamers even of only for a month, the issue is the following month when their income and viewership drops by a couple hundred percent on their visible metrics and they try to chase the wave unsuccessfully when there are no longer active events and it has been proven it affects their motivation and their mental health as they believe it’s something they are doing themselves causing all the minus figures in red on their dashboard.
Yes. Exactly. Glad you understand.
