PS4 gamers have broken the golden rule of Twitch T.V. less than two weeks after the streaming service launched on Sony’s new console.
The Twitch T.V. service, which allows gamers to stream gaming content directly from their PS4 by pressing the ‘Share’ button, has been abused and used for non-gaming and explicit content via the PS4 Playroom. Through the app, users have been taking advantage of the full-room camera to broadcast nudity and drunkenness, while some users were caught using the chat channel to abuse streamers.
From immediate effect, Twitch has banned Playroom content from being streamed and issued the following statement to Joystiq.
“We removed Playroom content from the directory because a majority of it was non-gaming related”. Non-gaming content is against the terms that users sign up for on Twitch, though the spokesperson said that the service may be brought back at a later date.
