tRv56 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 A breach of the Twitch live-streaming platform has been officially confirmed, though the extent of the breach is still being researched. Meanwhile, there are a variety of claimed leaks said to have been shared as a result of Twitch being hacked. Those include payments issued to top Twitch streamers, as well as account information for Twitch users. One particularly interesting leak revealed the existence of an Amazon alternative PC storefront to Steam going by the name of Vapor. The details about Vapor come from a torrent containing 125GB of data said to have been taken from the Twitch platform. Within this data are files containing code for an unannounced Amazon game named Vapeworld, as odd as that may be. Vapeworld is believed to be a virtual reality chat game. While that in itself is interesting, it's Vapeworld's associated files and containing folders that contain what little information about Vapor that are included in the link.

Admin mOB Posted December 22, 2021 Admin Share Posted December 22, 2021 This leak was pretty unfortunate. Not only they've 'revealed' about Vapor, but they also leaked all the salaries of the top streamers in Twitch worldwide. As per the platform: being an Amazon work always gives us 'hope' to have a real competitor for steam. This would be positive for the customers wallets. Let's see when we hear news about this, and I honestly don't think we'll have to wait much for that - probably in 2022 Amazon will give some news (if the leak is true) Quote How can I use my Forum Coins in Eprotv?

Ash Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 It was kind of crazy to see what some of the top earners were making. I'm sure a lot of people will be happy that we're now getting another store for the PC market. Competition is good but there just seems to be too many.

Empire Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 If it’s to be run anything close to what twitch is it will fail pretty spectacularly, I feel like most PC players are loyal to steam at this point as well. Personally steam is always doing stuff that is more or less good for the customer and I already have so many games on steam I’m not even batting an eye at any competition in the marketplace arena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Yeah, Steam has the market share so it's going to be very hard to steal users from there. The only way is to have exclusives but that just annoys people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin mOB Posted December 28, 2021 Admin Share Posted December 28, 2021 It’s also kind of hard to have exclusives on a single platform; that would mean a contract of probably million of dollars. Still, it’s Amazon and we know that wouldn’t really be an issue on their end. Quote How can I use my Forum Coins in Eprotv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricci Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 What happened to this after almost 3 years? It ended up being nothing at all? Or are there any other rumors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
