PirateSoftware is right about this one. Twitch has become increasingly "game-ified" over the years. Plug-ins, Stream Elements, channel points and predictions, drops, and probably some things that I'm missing make the platform function like a game.
This is a good thing in general. There are a lot of people from that market here, and these features do a good job giving the consumers what they want. Game-ifying Twitch gives users interesting ways to interact with streamers AND advertisers which usually works out to a "win-win situation." Furthermore, the permanently unlockable Twitch emotes is a great extension of this that feels good a user in general. This is *MOSTLY* a great system.
But, this also creates expectations among the user base. The current policy goes against these expectations and they make achievement-moments that should feel great, instead feel like the consumers/users got cheated. One change to this system will improve how good it feels for users considerably.
