What about Twitch and the Partner Program?

It has been quite a while since the last time we saw regular drops for streamers and partners on twitch and speaking about partners... There have been no news about new partners or any communication in that regard. No partners have been announced this summer and really there hasn't been a single word about it. How fdev does it is their thing really, I just wish there would be a bit more transparency and communication overall. Will new partners only be added once a year now? Not at all? Or will we see them but the process is just running late compared to the recent years?

Hopefully they’re busy rethinking this a bit! The partner programme seemed very promising at first, but then rather high viewer thresholds were set - admitting only well-established YouTubers & Twitch streamers. This excludes many people who produce interesting, original creative work, but are not social media fanatics…

Perhaps an “affiliate program” of sorts for onboarding, with at least a basic level of communication with potential partners, would help with this?

Lack of / insufficient communication, as ever, seems to be the issue…
 
Yeah that is true... I mean the requirements are a bit high since even established partners hardly meet them if at all... Realistically Elite isn't the most popular on twitch but has a pretty solid viewerbase and occasionally attracts new or returning people... But I think what annoys me the most personally is the fact that from the side of FDEV it always is this back and forth of great communication and barely anything at all.

Edit: I know it's not required for them to tell us everything while I'm glad for every bit I get and the requirements are definitely possible to meet with some effort... Especially considering the recent changes in the social team I can understand if not everything goes as smooth as we all would like to... For me there is just a bit frustration speaking which is rooted in my passion for Elite and my hope to see it continuing to do well
