Twitch has announced that it is ending support for its application on the Nintendo Switch console, which will not be able to be downloaded from November 6 and will no longer provide access to users who already had the app since January 31, 2024.

However, Twitch has announced that it will stop supporting its app on the Nintendo Switch console starting Monday, November 6 for new users, who will no longer be able to download the app on the Nintendo eShop.

This was detailed by the company in a notification on its help page, in which it also specified that, as for users who already had the ‘app’ downloaded to their console, “they will lose access to the application” January 31 of next year 2024.

In this sense, according to statements by Twitch’s corporate communications director, Gabriella Raila, to The Verge, the company has made the decision to remove the application on Nintendo Switch “recently.” In addition, she also stressed that Nintendo “remains a valued partner” and that they appreciate “all the support that the Switch community has given to Twitch and streamers.”

During the years that the application has been in use, users have posted some complaints about the app’s service through a Twitch forum, detailing that they cannot see the chat in a broadcast, or which does not allow subscription to creators from the console. Likewise, users cannot use the app to stream their own gameplay either.

Since the planet went into confinement, more and more users have joined Netflix, a tool that has been helpful for people distraction and entertainment. The question is: What damage does this service cause to the planet? The answer is that producing and transmitting content negatively affects the environment due to the greenhouse gases it generates on the planet.

According to an investigation carried out by experts from the University of Bristol, one-hour transmission on Netflix generates approximately 100 grams of CO2, equivalent to what a car would use to travel half a kilometer of distance.

Evaluating this scenario, the platform has devised a strategy to reduce its internal CO2 emissions in order to limit global warming to 1.5 ° C, and for this, “it plans to invest in programs dedicated to preserving and restoring ecosystems that naturally store carbon dioxide that warms the planet.”

The initiative was positively valued by Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Technological University, who congratulates the company and assures that: “The film industry needs a leader when it comes to climate action. Changing the world starts with a company that steps up and inspires others to join it. I am delighted with how Netflix is ​​taking on this leadership role.”
