No more following of that damn train, CJ.
They'll just go somewhere else, then.
just a bunch of psychopaths hangin' out on hitbox

but the adults-only version of san andreas is the one that allows mods
[QUOTE=RedStar;47823396]but the adults-only version of san andreas is the one that allows mods[/QUOTE] If you're talking about replacing the EXE, that doesn't make the game AO. Relax, Twitch isn't going to call the ESRB and check every single copy of GTA San Andreas being played for if the patch number corresponds to an AO rating. This is entirely to hit back at Hatred, and on a side note also stuff like Rapelay. (if that's even rated by the ESRB)
RIP Hatred
[QUOTE=EddieLTU;47823452]RIP Hatred[/QUOTE] I wonder if people will just use steam broadcasting for this, or hitbox
[QUOTE=Scratch.;47823467]I wonder if people will just use steam broadcasting for this, or hitbox[/QUOTE] Is it against the rules to promote other stream sites? I'd imagine that if Twitch is actually butthurt about it that people could just change their Offline banner into something like "Playing Hatred at Hitbox!".
This was probably put in place specifically for Hatred. Seems stupid.

[QUOTE=Duskin;47823620]This was probably put in place specifically for Hatred. Seems stupid.[/QUOTE] It feels like someone really wants Hatred to fail since banning a game from Twitch can be a HUGE effect. Not big, but there still might be a good poke into the sales figures for it.
How to give your competitors more users 101.
if you guys go watch the hatred gameplay in the video section, you'll see that this is completely knee jerk.
Wow, this is stupid. If you really want to deal with adult only rated games, just add in a required warning or something like that about the content of the stream, like 18+ streams instead of outright banning it and making people go elsewhere.
Isn't it ironic that San Andreas got an AO rating because of a cut fully clothed sex minigame you can't actually see without modding while in GTA 5 you can have sex with prostitutes and get lap dances from topless ladies from the get go If that doesn't prove the ESRB is completely arbitrary and typically falls into knee jerk reactions I don't know what does

Also pretty sure we see his junk at one point or another as well.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;47828786]And his long saggy balls[/QUOTE] This is the only spoiler I was ever thankful for, thanks for the warning.
