This morning, I shared with our community in Korea that we’ve made the difficult decision to shut down the Twitch business in Korea on February 27, 2024 KST. We understand that this is extremely disappointing news, and we want to explain why we made this decision and how we are planning to support those impacted.
Ultimately, the cost to operate Twitch in Korea is prohibitively expensive and we have spent significant effort working to reduce these costs so that we could find a way for the Twitch business to remain in Korea.
Damn I didn’t know it was 10x the cost. Crazy how a company that size still can’t handle the fees.
10x the cost of what tho? They just say “most other countries”, but tahts just spin and essentially meaningless without more data
