It sucks that hitbox doesn't work on mobile.

Haven't heard of hitbox before, great there is now an alternative to Twitch. There were rumors that Google wants to buy Twitch (parent company already closed Justin.tv) But today Amazon.com has agreed to acquire Twitch for more than $1 billion. Interesting, it's an Austrian company ( http://about.hitbox.tv/imprint/ ). Keep up the good work! Edit: changed the "Google bought" to "rumor that Google wants to buy", thanks…

It does it mostly all in his head. He's built a fair amount of rendering engines so he knows all the basics of how to do it.

That is impressive if true. Does he also figure out how to read the WAD files himself too for level geometry and textures? I just find it hard to believe he isn't referencing the original source at all...

The issue wasn't so much that, they were taking copyright seriously. Its how they handled taking copyright seriously. Their practice was Draconian, even if the streamer owned the copy right, they still have to appeal to have their content posted. Even twitch took down their own videos explain how this system works, due to copyrighted music. This has been going on for >2 weeks without much change.
