Bring back the Roku channel!
The Twitch app was removed from the Roku Channel Store and will no longer receive updates is the word from Roku. I'm not buying a Fire TV to watch it, Amazon. I tried your Fire TV and Roku just works better; plus Roku makes it easier to find my channels which are buried under all your Amazon garbage on Fire TV. Limiting the ways people can watch content from entities you own seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

Amazon is really taking the wrong choice here. I won't by a fire stick. Bring back the roku app. There's the Amazon Prime Video channel in roku!! I really see no reason.

I agree. Twitch was pulled from Roku once it was acquired by Amazon, and the logic is that Roku is a competitor. That makes no sense. If that were true, why is Amazon Prime still available? This needs to be discussed within both Amazon and Twitch

I 100% support this idea and hope that we get an official Twitch.tv app on Roku. It seems really odd that Twitch has not hopped on this considering all its competitors have, such as Youtube.
I would LOVE to be able to watch my favorite streamers on my TV through my Roku. I don't want to have to set up one of my gaming consoles to go to the web browser to watch Twitch on my TV.

It makes no sense. Roku supports Amazon Prime Video, but Amazon won't let them put a Twitch channel back in because of ??? I've stopped watching Twitch almost completely because of this bone-headed decision. Something tells me I'm not the only one!

I swear I have heard a hundred reasons that there is no App to watch Twitch streams with the Roku player, I have a Roku Ultra and really wish there would someday, if possible, be an App that I can use with it.

The Twitched app was just yanked from the Roku store. I don't know if it was forcefully removed or not, but there are no remaining alternatives or methods for watching Twitch on Roku devices.
I have a Roku-enabled TV and so the Roku platform is the only option for me.
I looked into coding my own app on Roku, but there is no web browser for apps to use, which means that I cannot make use of the only officially supported way of watching Twitch on other platforms - embedded browser.
Please, Twitch, do something to allow your Roku viewers to be able to watch Twitch once again.

The current 3rd party app Twitched on the Roku system sucks. Horrible stream quality. Horrible menu selection. Horrible everything. please bring Twitch channel back to Roku.
