*Announcement*
Thank you to those who gave feedback in yesterday's AMA.
For the past few years, OTK has been juggling 'brand-friendly' sponsor requirements with the ethos of our streamers. For some events, we successfully tabled our 'tism to keep sponsors happy. For others, appeasing brands noticeably impacted the content's quality.
In November '23, we took a chance on an event we knew was un-sponsorable and let the gang run loose. The event is often cited as the best we've ever done. It's name was Wild West.
I'd like to soft-announce that moving forward, we will no longer be sacrificing our authenticity to 'fall in line' with sponsor demands. If that means we can't host large events, then so be it. The community has made it clear to us what they want: our streamers hanging out as friends and doing content they enjoy. In other words, OTK 2020-2022.
While we will continue to host professional events like the OTK Games Expo, sponsors will be limited to being featured in just those events.
All other OTK events will be the org with its "hair down". We've chased the dollar for too long. It's time to chase the dream.
As for me, it is my responsibility to make sure that we are still able to pay for the incredible team that has brought OTK's content to life over these past several years. To that end, if you are a brand, platform, investor, or lunatic willing to light their money on fire for limited return to see OTK go back to its roots without any inhibition to our content and creativity, feel free to respond here or fire over an email. We will work with those willing to work with us.
At the end of the day, if we can't do what we love, then what's the damn point? We love content and our community. It's time to do right by both.
@dom_lucre Just to be clear I'm 100% against this, but to say "no context is needed" just proves that women can do just about anything and get away with it- even more, they won't even be questioned.

@REALMizkif appreciate everything you do. Now I'm headed to college, in really good shape, and have great friends. I don't really need Twitch anymore, but I'll always be grateful. Keep making people laugh. Also no Uber in Kansas :4Head
@REALMizkif More than anything else, you being super open and down to earth online has helped me through a lot of my own struggles. Seeing you be vulnerable taught me a lot about handling tough moments. Just wanted to say thank you man. You've had a really big impact on my life and I
Yesterday was the last time I stepped foot in my streaming house after 4 unforgettable years. Four years filled with memories, growth, careers, and countless people who have changed my life in ways I’ll never be able to fully express.
It’s hard to put into words how much this place has meant to me, how it shaped who I am today. While part of me feels this deep sadness knowing it’s all coming to an end, there’s also a spark of excitement for what’s to come. Whatever that new beginning may be.
See you In Japan
