Nah. For the option to be available for Subs, your account needs to be a Twitch Affiliate. To get that, you need 50 followers, stream for eight hours on seven different days over a 30-day period, and average three viewers.

Considering the context, itâs surprisingly appropriate.

I was actually gonna mention this, but the context didnât really allow for it.
But yeah, if you wanted to start a twitch channel, then this would not help you.
I got no Twitch item yet so far. I think I got every other at some point but never redeemed it because I could not bother. 
I certainly am up for paying for a cosmetic skin if out of all available that is the one I really like. Kinda like the Requiem Pack back in the day. But these Twitch things donât look good enough for that. And I rarely play Hitman these days anyway. But I look forward booting it up for this ET. It will be the moment of truth how well Hitman runs on Proton.

I can answer that:
Hitman 3 is a bit iffy on Proton, mostly due to VKD3D and shader compilation, so it can be quite stuttery. That said, last I checked it wonât break or outright crash anymore than normal, and you can reach 60fps or higher on a decent rig. Donât think itâll run any better than windows though.
Also, donât expect it to run at 60fps on the steam deck on anything but low-medium settings. Hitman is both a CPU and GPU bottleneck on resources, and that doesnât translate well to handheld play. Thereâs a reason the switch port went with cloud streaming, is all Iâm gonna say.

Thanks, I think I got a decent enough rig now that should at least perform as good as my previous barely-enough rig. 
Though some games tend to freeze with the AMD driver so fingers crossed Hitman does not join these.
The twitch subscription sucks enough but now learning the prime subscription wonât work makes it completely worthless to me. Stick it in the DLC pack instead of this nonsense.

@combatglue Is there any possible chance of changing the suit from being a âpaid Dropâ to a normal one or is it too late, given the overwhelmingly negative response on here?
Or is it too late and its 100% locked in because the system with Twitch makes this not possible even though its not yet live?
I donât understand why you would want to do something that directly rewards the streamers that are a very tiny portion of the player base, that also asks for too much from the majority of your player base (non-streamers). To non-streamers, its just âpay $5.99 to unlock a single suitâ. This is excessive.
Streamers already benefit from normal drops as they get a portion of ad revenue from ads that play on their stream. Normal drops increase their viewership = more people that see the ads = more money to the streamer, while asking nothing from the player other than a little bit of their time. This is a fair and reasonable exchange.

Iâd have to imagine thereâs also some sort of deal between Twitch and Game Companies, whether financial or just âexposureâ related that may also power this kind of move.
Company makes special item (usually purple themed) or gives away currency/bonuses, players watch and sub more often, and Twitch (possibly) increases its visibility on the main pageâŚ
Business gotta business? Number go up good.

Like others, I am not a fan of the twitch drop for subscribing to a streamer.
In an attempt to at least make some good out of it, are there any HMF members on twitch who people can subscribe to? At least this way, those who do want to participate in this questionable drop support fellow community members.

I have no idea if theyâre eligible but @Frote7 and @TheChicken both stream on Twitch from time to time. Pretty sure one of them was the one that I watched to get the other purple stuff.

Great idea! Would subscribe to a member of HMF.
Siding with Drib on this one. I mean, Iâm gonna do it, but it shouldnât have to be done. This is essentially taking two of the concepts I hate most about modern gaming (exclusivity and micro-transactions) and smashing them together. Add in the third thing, which WoA is already doing, of live service play, and IOI is dabbling into the trifecta of bad game developer syndrome. Letâs back off on such decisions as quickly as possible.

Some Behind the Scenes pictures:
They did mocap the split.
(I actually was going to half-jokingly ask if they had someone doing it. My esteem for truly doing it)

She will run a give away of one of the special made Splitter ballcap. A highly limited series.
The custom designer are https://www.instagram.com/00_drops/ and they will giveaway a second one.
The rest will be put on auction for charity.

I should probably point out that if streamers wanted to protest this, you can manually opt-out of doing these drops; thereâs a switch in the dashboard that streamers can check thatâll disable drops for viewers.
Dashboard â sidebar â viewer rewards â drops.
You can do the same for reward campaigns, just select rewards instead of drops.
Iâm sorry, but the move should not be supported in any way if youâre against it.
If players not against twitch drops like this, then fine, go ahead and support them. But if you are against this practice, it wonât matter who you give your money to, participating in it just confirms to IO that the campaign is viable, even if itâs controversial.
It is still a patently anti-consumer move by IO for reasons already given on this forum, with which I will refrain from repeating myself.

I completely agree with you on this. I donât want to support this practice for an item I will never use and collect digital dust in my inventory.
However, I acknowledge that there are probably those who will subscribe for the item. I am just trying to find a silver lining and suggest people support HMF member streamers, such as @Frote7 if they are eligible, over randomly subscribing to some âcareer streamerâ using the game to boost their own subscriber numbers.

I am also aware that I sound like a broken record, by the way.

Hey, admitting you have a problem is the first step to doing nothing about it.
