This month's big blow-up in the eSports world
involved star player 'Ninja', popular online gaming
platform Twitch, and some ... ahhemm... "adult content".
You might not be keeping score, but we sure are.
What the heck is eSports, you ask? You must have missed our
earlier update. We're talking about competitive computer
and console gaming, where high profile players of popular games
like Fortnite get paid anywhere up to $20k/hour by
platforms to set up an online channel and stream their matches.
Ninja is one of those, with over 14 million Twitch followers.
After announcing his move to rival platform, Mixer, Ninja's
Twitch channel sat inactive showing only his old matches. Twitch
then decided to take advantage of Ninja's huge following by
experimenting with using it to promote other streamers; the first
of which happened to be... well, porn. Ninja rushed to Twitter and
apologised to fans, many who are as young as 13, saying he no
longer had control of the channel.
