Does anyone know who wanted this? Streamer or viewer wise? Cuz I don't lol this seems dumb, and im sure the actual reason has more to do with twitch drops more then anything else
99% it is blizzard request because drops will be only on in wow category and not wow clasic, they are pushing so they can say XY watched and so on..
I’m happy about this. Tired of having to scan through all the different streams.
Good ideea
Great idea, had to always filter all the classic streams to find Retail ones
Great news dont wanna see the old content in the wow category
Finally, who cares about classic
It makes good sense, they're 2 completely different games.
YES, thank Elune. No more squinting at people's UI to try and determine which version they're playing!
Thank the heavens! I’ve been asking for this since the launch of classic 🤗
For all the people saying "who wanted this?" I am one of the people that wanted this. I don't care about Retail WoW and don't want to watch it. I prefer watching smaller streams and trying to find small Classic streamers is extremely difficult to do in the combined category. As for people not using the new category yet, it is extremely new so most probably don't even know it's there. This post from Wowhead is my first time hearing about it. I'm sure people will adjust with time.
The category was deleted on Twitch, article updated.
This is a bad idea. WoW doesn't have the biggest audience to begin with so splitting it in half, while maybe good for the average viewer who only cares about 1 version of the game, is not that great for the marketing of the game (which is what twitch is mainly about). It just looks worse to have 2 15-20k viewer categories than 1 45k viewer category, it gives the impression of a deader game.
