Streamer threatens Twitch with legal action after \u201centire payout\u201d stolen TwitchTragedy has fallen upon a streamer as they claim their account information was changed, resulting in someone stealing their payout. Worst of all, Twitch is now refusing to pay them. \u2018Killadelphia\u2019 is a content creator who primarily streams Call of Duty on Twitch, boasting a following of over 9,000 on the platform. The streamer has been critical of Twitch recently, however, due to issues involving his payout after he claims his account was hacked and his payout information changed. Now, he\u2019s threatening legal action on Twitter over the matter. Twitch streamer claims \u201centire payout\u201d was stolen On October 15, Killadelphia first tweeted about issues surrounding his Twitch account, claiming that someone had logged in and changed his payout information. I just don\u2019t understand at this point I have 2 step verification setup on my @twitch account someone logged into my Twitch account and changed all of my payout information I went on there to see why I haven\u2019t gotten paid yet and here I see an email that doesn\u2019t belong to me \ud83d\ude35\ud83d\udcab \u2014 Killadelphia (@KilladeIphia) October 15, 2021 Since then, the streamer has tweeted several times, tagging the streaming platform in an attempt to get clarity on the issue. After eventually reaching out to and getting an answer from Twitch Support, Killadelphia was less than pleased with the response, screenshotting the email and again tagging the platform. This culminated into a final tweet where he claims that he is considering legal action against Twitch over the payout debacle. I work hard asf so I don\u2019t have to ask anyone for anything at this point I might have to get lawyered up since you won\u2019t reply https:\/\/t.co\/2OXLS9kv65 \u2014 Killadelphia (@KilladeIphia) October 15, 2021 Others in the replies shared much of Killadelphia\u2019s frustration with Twitch, some even expressing that they had the same issues getting paid. exact same thing happened to me and i got the same response! now unable to pay rent or pay for my gramps funeral, utterly heartbroken \u2014 Sophie\u2665 (@xSophieSophie) October 15, 2021 This problem seems to be somehow linked to streamer\u2019s PayPal accounts that are linked to Twitch. However, it is unclear exactly how hackers are able to get past 2-step verification to make these changes. This issue, along with Twitch\u2019s recent earnings leak, combine to create a tough situation for the Amazon-owned streaming platform. Killadelphia was asked to comment on the situation, but as of the time of this article\u2019s publication has yet to respond to the request. We will continue to provide updates on this particular story, as well as any updates if this issue were to become widespread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
