Seeing how multiple organizations seemed to drop him like a piece of hot coal instantly at the same time it seemed like something people saw coming and were prepared for.

Now that a few of them revert the changes I lost all hope to develop a coherent theory. Looking forward to finding out what's actually happening.
Most probable thing still seems to be that he was working out a deal with another platform, twitch got wind of it and informed the partners? What could have provoked such a hefty response initially but still be revertible within 24h?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Chinese company making a clone of something? Yep, checks out. xD

Yeah, I don't know why I was surprised. I blame it on still waking up, lmao.

 

[The Pleasure]

It's a wrestling move.

They call it the uss smackdown straight to know your role Boulevard and candyass lane.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

This is just a promotion...

 

[Fret Runner]

I'm guessing he put a Roblox video on because he knew the cops were coming and didn't wanna risk playing something with gun shots an shit.

Pretty weird ending though. It's like one of those Videos you see on those Youtube "unsolved mysteries" vids which is follwed by "and he was never seen again" lol

 

[baphomet]

It most definitely isn't

 

[Spukc]

I kind of want to be in that discord right now. Any Gaffers in there?

Yes but are not allowed to talk about it on other websites. That is why every big twitch streamer knows what is up

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Don't know if real but apparently he deleted it shortly after. Several different posters saying that they saw the tweet before it was deleted.

 

[ManaByte]

His body language says it's something bad. Like federal pound you in the ass prison bad.

I watch him a LOT. I don't think it was out of character at all.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

What if he committed tax evasion or homicide?

I still think this is some dumb crap and he'll announce being on Facebook gaming on Monday or something, but weirdly, you can hear "Let's go hands up," or something at ~8:05, if you crank the volume to max and your ears can handle that pain, after what sounds like glass breaking.

Still think this is all a publicity hype for a move to a new platform.

 

[Tesseract]

no details yet, the psychosphere is depleted

Gonna be a Glitter moment eh?

what if he owes back dated fees for late blockerbusters returns

The glass breaking was a sound effect from the dumb game he was playing the video of. But you do hear hands up.

Sadly Jason hasn't been flushed yet.

 

[Tesseract]

what if he's being shipped to a pentagon ultra violence lab

I saw this to and heard it by cranking my volume, However further research shows it from what he was watching. if you watch the roblox video just after the 2:50 mark you can hear the "lets go hands up" is still there

so he is taken... hostage?

 

[Barakov]

I see we're still in the "Source : My Ass" stage. Seeing this all unfold has been fascinating. This is what being bored on a Saturday will do to people.

 

[Fret Runner]

They are gonna make him hike alone in a national park an feed him to the dimensional warp creatures.

Fucking hell her voice is annoying

 

[Collin]

i’ve been aware of this guy but never really watched him. i also don’t watch twitch a lot. is it somewhat common to be permabanned from there?

This clip turns gold.

Not if you have big ol tiddies

This is from 4chan so its probably bullshit, but posting in case it's relevant.

Sounds more believable

 

[thief183]

Sp I was watching this, this guy makes an analisy of Dr last stream.

I think it is a stunt, I hope it is a stunt ^^



Also, this is the image

Sounds very plausible. It would explain why everything is hush hush right now. Definitely better than my theory which was basically :

Would be so fucking funny

this sounds 100% believable and 200% less interesting.

I fucking love this guy. I hope he comes back, he’s too good not to.

 

[thief183]

I love this kind of stuff (It it ends up well)

I don't buy it, but man do I want to.

So basically for scalping talent, so de-platformed him

Makes sense

 

[Texas Pride]

Twitch is going the way of the Dodo. We need new streaming services to put Twitch and YouTube on notice anyway. If that Spotify rumor is true I could see that as a viable alternative. I think Spotify is underrated by most.

 

[01011001]

this, or something along these lines would make the most sense IMO, if he got metoo'd whoever it was that was behind it would already be on twitter clout chasing.

this seems like either some breach of his twitch contract, he got signed by them not too long ago with a trailer and everything.
or something like tax evasion

 

[Night.Ninja]

Only thing i don't understand is what did they mean by under google

 

[Stuart360]

Hope this Spotify rumour is the truth. I'd obviously hate it to be anything abuse related, and i'd also hate to see him stream on Facebook lol. If true i hope Spotifys new streaming service is laid out like Mixer and Twitch, so used to that layout now.

 

[McCheese]

They think spotify is owned Google, faaaaaake.

 

[Dargor]

No but Twitch said that he broke their guidelines, hasn’t revealed what he broke yet though.

Then I think its better to wait and see what is going on before saying things like that, cuz they demand knowledge that we don't have.

 

[01011001]

Only thing i don't understand is what did they mean by under google

maybe spotify will partner with Youtube Gaming to split it off to be its own thing. youtube gaming is a nightmare to navigate, and Spotify might have a platform in development with great concepts and a great interface but lacks the talent to jumpstart it.
if all the people that are currently youtube gaming parnters would be on this new platform at launch + Ninja, Doc and Shroud, it would be way more of a head turner than a brand new platform with noone on it


but that's just what came to mind when I read it

If it was abuse related I think this would be all over Twitter at this point. The clout chasers and the sock pupptets love this stuff. IF that 4chan rumor is true then the fact that this is on the down low makes a lot of sense. The fact that his subs getting refunded, his sponsors dropping him instantly leads a lot of credence to this. Also this talk about poaching other streamers and the way people are talking about this sounds some major lawyer shit is involved.

I guess we'll know on Monday.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

This sounds a bit unbelievable, because Doc recently signed a contract with Twitch, which I'm assuming requires him to stream exclusively with Twitch and would subject him to lawsuits if he were to stream or agree to stream elsewhere.

I don't see why he'd take the risk considering the civil penalties he'd face, unless Spitify offered him multiple times more money than Twitch. However, even if Spotify could offer him more money, Spotify would know that Twitch would sue them for attempting to acquire their talent.

None of this makes sense, because there are too many potential civil penalties for everyone involved.

Now that is fan fiction I can get behind.. 10/10
Will open a bottle of champagne if true.

we don't know the specifics of these twitch contracts. maybe he thought he found some sort of loophole but twitch is now fighting against this?

also, he might just be ok with paying whatever the breach of his contract would cost him because he thinks he's getting all of it back soon enough?
