PirateSoftware has a thriving community and works tirelessly to educate everyone in how to create games and give them the confidence to try new things.

He loves the Twitch! platform and has helped to improve it for everyone (including Twitch! itself) for the past 6 years. His new-found, widespread recognition is a shining example of the positive effects brought about by dropping the restrictions around simulcasting and has singlehandedly brought literally tens of thousands of new people to the platform that had previously never watched a Twitch! channel in their life.

The amount of support he has drawn in the past few weeks is reflected perfectly by becoming both the first and second person ever to max out a level 55 hype train, and the support does not stop at him. He inspires huge amounts of positivity and generosity with his community and they then go out to other channels and shatter all of their goals too.

A rising tide lifts all boats, and a global emote in his name is both an incredible way to honor and also helps to solidify his global recognition which will become a feedback loop and raise everyone on the platform to new heights.

This is not for him, this is for all of us

I honestly just want more global emotes, it helps showcase channels even as someone who isn't subscribed but still wants to show support which is most often the case as no singular individual can sub to every twitch stream without being financially irresponsible. It's also just a fun and easy way for twitch to support events and creators without much effort on their end and I hope to see more growing streams get a chance at global emotes.

Not only has Thor's community beaten the record twice, but Thor continues to be a huge influence and educator for existing and future developers to make indie games. We all know games are the lifeblood of Twitch. Thor is giving back to the community almost every **** day. The man and his goblin community deserve to be recorded in this global emote. I know I have benefitted from Thor's pearls of wisdom and have even started to consider developing a little side project.
Thank you, Thor, for being so generous with your time and knowledge.

Thor is such a wholesome streamer, his face-emote has that ‘pleasantly surprised / you cheeky goblin’ look.

It’s brilliant and could be used positively for when people go out of their way to be wholesome / generous.

We NEED this emote!
Pretty please with two broken Hype-Trains on top!

PirateSoftware is a funny and intelligent streamer and a shining example of how to be a good person. He is passionate about his career and industry, and has great motivational quotes and qualities. Probably the best streamer I've seen.

He is intelligent and funny and this vote is just 1 of the many reasons why his "chat of goblins" is so engaged in the stream and why they are breaking the records for hype train multiple times.

PirateSoftware is a consistently great influence to Twitch!

Piratesoftware is a beacon of positivity for a everyone in game dev and in content creation as a whole.

The goblin emote is the embodiment Thor's love and boundless compassion for not only his community, but educating people in game development and content creation.

It's goblin time

I recently found PirateSoftware. I'm terribly disappointed I didn't find the stream years ago.

I support this movement.
Goblin = Good.

This was one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of on twitch. I think both Thor and his community deserve to be immortalized for the feat.

Having an emote to commemorate maxing out the hype train twice in 1 week is a huge thing for the platform

pls do this everyone is asking for it, there's lap children running arround in despair for it

PirateSoftware is the embodiment of an authentic creator, a community leader, and a role-model. His community on Twitch has been fostered into an inviting space for all types, whether interested in game development, ferrets, relaxing voice, and/or good vibes.

The "Goblins" emote is a direct representation of the community creators on Twitch should look to emulate; one that connects people in positive ways and motivates the viewer to take action in their own life and projects. Pirate Software and their community is a gem that Twitch SHOULD recognize for this exact reason alone.

Oh yeah, the hypetrain world record was also completely obliterated.. that happened too.

Thor has proven to be a positive influence in Twitch. If there's anyone who deserves to be immortalized with his own global emote — certainly a lot more deserving than the former PogChamp — it's Thor of PirateSoftware.

The streamer deserves it. His content is educational and helpful.

hype train

amazing idea

PirateSoftware is an awesome streamer with so much insight, much deserved global emote. Let's push this through Twitch!

Please add this Goblin emote, Twitch. Goblin lives matter.
Goblin.

It pays respect to the incredible community that went to break the hype train record in 1 week
