Twitch Guilds Worldwide
It's incredibly hard for some creators to get opportunities, especially when they're not based in the US.
Twitch ANZ had fantastic opportunities like Grass Roots, Māori, NAIDOC, Pride and Creative showcases and now they look to be no more-
Twitch ANZ seemingly has been abandoned due to the recent layoffs, and it's already so hard for OCE creators to get opportunities.
At this current time, we cannot apply for Twitch Guilds as they are US-based only. I would love for Twitch to try and include more countries or even have separate guilds for other areas of the world to reduce over-saturation of single guilds.
I know this would mean the world to my fellow AU and NZ creators to have the opportunity to feel a bit more included within Twitch Global again and to be able to continue to network and do great things with each other. Plus, I feel creators in other countries would also greatly benefit from this idea.

I would love to have this feature as it feels like as an ANZ creator, Twitch has given us a price hike and then abandoned us!

ANZ creators might be small in number, but the quality is world class. Overlooking them would be a mistake.

Aus creators being more discorable is GOOD for twitch's bottom line. its a financially sensible move

There are so many amazing NZ and Aus streamers that deserve the utmost recognition on Twitch for their amazing talent but the spotlight is never based in our small part of the world.
Please recognise us!

Completely agree. Australia and NZ has a wonderful community of streamers and viewers who could benefit from more support from Twitch Global

It's incredibly difficult to be a creator within ANZ, we don't have any Twitch Con or massive population numbers but we have heart. The heart that is shown ever hear during these incredible events that showcase and bring to light so many hardworking, magical and deserving creators that would otherwise would not have the platform to share their stories.
NAIDOC for example is a very important time in Australia, having a showcase of First Nations creators has pushed people on the front page who have shocked and awed the wider public with their creativity and story telling.
These events have helped certain groups feel seen in a world in which they usually feel invisible.
These events have opened the eyes to others who may have never shared in these arts, cultures or history.
We understand the work load, a thread I posted on Twitter did get feedback saying we are joining up with all of English Speaking Oceania. Though where is the announcements, where's the cheeky posts or interactions. Where's the visibility for small streamers, showing us that twitch does infact see us, twitch does infact care about these nations down here more than just increasing our cost of Subscriptions to $8.99 each.
It has been a devasting year but I was looking forward to creative week, as well as the hype that surrounds those who are accepted into the honorable halls of grassroots. These events make twitch, twitch. Without them there isn't as much to look forward to..

AUS/NZ is gonna be left behind even more than we already are if things like this don't change. There's so much we miss out on just cause we're on the other side of the world.
