Internet turns against Streamlabs after \u2018copy\/paste\u2019 OBS apology & name change StreamLabsStreamlabs got slammed for its brief response after it was accused of plagiarizing competitors like OBS, Lightstream, Elgato, and others. Though the company responded to the OBS drama, people online noticed it was light on addressing the problem while opting into a familiar style of company apologies in the past. \u201cI swear if Streamlabs is gonna come with that black background white text company apology bulls**t on how they messed up I\u2019m gonna be so done,\u201d Twitch streamer \u2018REVERSAL\u2019 tweeted. The streamer was beside himself hours later when Streamlabs publicly acknowledged the debacle in a similar format. That summed up the public outcry against the company that made it trend online on November 17. https:\/\/twitter.com\/REVERSALx7\/status\/1461051986317615111 Streamlabs slammed for \u2018OBS\u2019 apology The company\u2019s apology didn\u2019t assuage people online that it was taking the necessary steps to rectify the situation. \u201cNah, I\u2019m out,\u201d popular streamer \u2018JERICHO\u2019 said. More people were sharing the same sentiment of dropping the popular software maker for an alternate program. \u201cSucks that OBS had to go public before you guys listened but now we are here,\u201d streamer \u2018WJacky101\u2019 said. \u201cYou say that you take responsibility for your actions \u2013 good! \u201cWhat changes are you making to show that you take that responsibility? Simply complying with the request from OBS doesn\u2019t suffice, in my opinion.\u201d Sucks that OBS had to go public before you guys listened but now we are here! You say that you take responsibility for your actions \u2013 good! What changes are you making to show that you take that responsibility? ..Simply complying with the request from OBS doesn\u2019t suffice imo.\u2014 WackyJacky101 (@WJacky101) November 17, 2021 \u201cYou see what had happened was\u2026 we knew it was wrong. We know we\u2019re shady and we weren\u2019t gonna do a damn thing about it until we got caught\u2026 just like we knew we signed people up for subscriptions and decided not to tell anyone because it made us money\u201d \u2014 Raven (@RekItRaven) November 17, 2021 Ok and\u2026 how about all the other stuff lol It\u2019s like if someone stole $1000 and was like \u201cI\u2019ll give back 5\u201d \u2014 Harris Heller (@HarrisHeller) November 17, 2021 i will never use @streamlabs again if they don\u2019t immediately resolve this matter. https:\/\/t.co\/bkLYEbTqZ0 \u2014 hasanabi (@hasanthehun) November 17, 2021 The company said it was going to drop \u2018OBS\u2019 from the name of its open broadcaster software after facing backlash for how it adopted the name. This exploded into more revelations involving Streamlabs. Lightstream CEO Stu Grubbs pointed out how Streamlabs\u2019 website copied everything from its marketing to user product reviews from his company. This started a winding discourse on Streamlabs\u2019 history that got a response from the OBS Project. \u201cNear the launch of SLOBS (Streamlabs OBS), Streamlabs reached out to us about using the OBS name,\u201d OBS said. \u201cWe kindly asked them not to. \u201cThey did so anyway and followed up by filing a trademark. We\u2019ve tried to sort this out in private and they have been uncooperative at every turn.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
