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.

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.
