A Big Decision

[@Bandit_Jo]

This won't be happening this week or even next week but *soon, lol. I'll have another update for you all when my Twitch account is all good to go :) Thank you so much for watching my stuff! EDIT: Duh - here's the link to the account lol www.twitch.tv/banditj0 (no judging, it's a WIP)

bro one problem cant find your twich on twich its like you dont exist there

[@ManonLcz]

I personally can't go on Twitch, it's just way too demanding in terms of internet stability so I'll stay here on YT I do however prefer unedited VODs as I dont feel like I'm missing out on anything like in edited videos of VODs, I just enjoy hearing rants and other thoughts you may have playing even if it's just random wild theories while running to a quest :) (Also I hate that VODs on Twitch get deleted after certain period of time like genuinely I hate that so much)

[@teatree8239]

I feel that exact same way

[@toriwolf5978]

Me either no twitch for me

[@allenor26]

Yeah i prefer unedited too

[@Petershelson]

Same. I also prefer unedited vods. And I hate that Twitch deletes the vods. If only Bandit could make like a VOD channel or something where he uploads the full vods without editing them, that would be really cool!

[@allenor26]

@@Petershelson he actually asked that in the reply of other comment

[@Songbird762]

Oh good, I'm a VOD person so I'll just stay here (but I also vote for unedited 😁) I hope you'll play more Zelda games, I miss watching you play them!! 💚

[@MrYamiBakura]

The reason I'm not into Twitch all that much is mostly because it''s not that accessible to me. I like watching your livestreams on TV, because there's a KZbin app there, but with Twitch that won't work any longer.

[@Celestyal22]

I am so glad you're doing this. It is so much easier to support (for me) on Twitch then KZbin. And can I selfishly ask for a To The Moon stream? It's a short game. :)

[@Bandit_Jo]

I shall check it out :)

[@threecrowsinatrenchcoat4593]

Oh man that game made me cry. Seconded for a stream!

[@prodigy8556]

It would be nice if you did more pre-recorded vids like fears to fathom etc.

Nooooo, I want all the boring parts in the vods. No sarcasm, actually want it unedited.

[@Bandit_Jo]

Hmm if Twitch isn't an option for you, mayhaps I'll start a specific VOD channel to upload the full unedited streams to

This is exciting to hear! I personally have never really used Twitch but I will be sure to now that I know you will be there. It will be a learning experience! As long as you are happy with this decision, then so am I. Have fun man!

[@rohitpant9300]

Noooo don't edit plsss release the full stream and I'll miss your stream in KZbin cause I don't actually like twitch and don't use it Kinda break my heart when you said permanently switching :"( But it is what it is I'll miss KZbin stream hump....T^T

[@miloincognito5948]

This sounds perfect m’lord. No worries about anything and no need to explain. 💜

[@AlexandraStubbs]

Whatever works best for you, happy and excited to support you! Thank you for the channel update.

[@Aria_3]

Its a really smart decision in my opinion but it will be a bit harder for you tho i hope you don’t get tired of it ❤

[@Anove.]

I think this is a win win for everyone. I prefer edited videos to streams, personally, and now I get to enjoy you Genshin Impact content more!

[@doctorpc3052]

oh man, I will gonna miss the streams on YT, but I´ll be happy to see your VODS here, I´m so happy for you and hope you get more fans there, you deserve it, yourt streams are so funny and enjoyable !!

[@freshtart5465]

hey bandit. hope you're ok. we miss you!

[@tetra_zelda]

I'm excited for the content being on Twitch. I've been watching your content since you were the masked nintendo bandit and I'll continue to watch. You are much appreciated.

[@ssyurai]

I'm not the biggest fan of twitch because of all the ads but I'll try to pop in there and sub. I also hope you post the unedited VODS because I prefer watching those especially if I can't make it to a stream. Looking forward to it!

[@ilsrzz135]

im actually really excited about this, waiting for the first twitch stream 😄

[@mikanlin]

I can do either. Just the time that I can commit as you usually starts streaming at 4am my time. But I also enjoy watching the videos after the stream if I wasn't able to join. So do what's best for you, Bandit! ✨

[@TheWindsofWonder]

I’m actually a huge fan of twitch. Binge so much. But with how Twitch has been screwing over it’s creators very recently, I kind of have a little panic for those that switch over from KZbin to Twitch. Especially since the biggest trend I’ve seen recently is the opposite. People moving from Twitch to KZbin. But it is a fair point that Genshin does make a lot of twitch deals and I definitely have made use of those.

[@Kinosho_Kawakami]

i am so freakin' glad you're moving streams away from youtube. can't wait for you to go back to regular letsplays once again with only you, yourself and your shadow for company.

[@leolyrics4958]

Im only watching you in KZbin so its ok for me but i will miss the livestream. 👍

[@DoradoHedgehog]

Yo! I don't usually comment on YT but I am thrilled and excited to see you on Twitch! I can actually catch you there! Keep being awesome dude!

[@Vermula]

If it's not too much extra work, I would recommend uploading the unedited VODs as well as the edited. Some people really love the whole thing. Have another youtuber I follow that do that quite well :)

[@farideh4698]

Good for you on making a decision that works for you! I don't think that I will be moving my membership to Twitch, so I will watch your edited streams later 😊 Will you be doing other games apart from Genshin Impact? That one doesn't really interest me, so I haven't been watching your videos on them.

[@Bandit_Jo]

Thank you for being a member :) and yes I will! I'll be returning to horror games and trying out games that are new to me. Should be fun!

[@sickanimeart428]

I think this is a great decision for your channel 👍 Im a student and dont have a lot of time to watch full streams , I really love your videos and this is great cus i can watch them but at shorter length ❤️❤️ Good luck for your future man , KEEP IT UP 🔥🔥

[@SilverWolfEnthusiast]

that's actually fine i would be more than ok with you going to twitch i'll be over there too when you officially switch over^^

[@SAWFD1413]

damm...well looks like i won't be seeing any more streams (especially the zelda let's plays😞). mainly because I can't/won't use twitch.

[@Bandit_Jo]

Well - let's plays will return here, and the streams will be uploaded here afterwards. Hopefully it will feel more or less the same (aside from being live of course)

[@SAWFD1413]

@@Bandit_Jo i am sure, i was hoping to watch them live like i had done with the skyward sword & first few twilight princess streams. But twitch is out of bounds for me (one platform is more than enough-and if it asks for credit/visa....even more so)

[@jayx629]

You don't need to edit the VODS! The boring stuff is interesting too sometimes :) I wish you would stick to YT as it's easier for me, but I can understand your reasons. Will keep watching on here and looking forward to your let's plays!

[@neighbourhoodlum]

I'm glad you're figuring things out, but I do prefer watching uncut VODs, because I enjoy your progress but I can't watch it live because of time zone differences and having no time due to work. Twitch VODs get deleted after some time so I don't really like using Twitch.

[@marveled.maggie]

I've heard a lot of stories about twitch being bad to content creators so I'm worried but I hope all goes well with you and you have lots of fun 💕

[@fredricksonthe96th]

I'm personally not much of a twitch advocate, but it's definitely the better decision for you from a commercial perspective 👍 I'll probably mostly stay here and enjoy your VODs, but I might pop in on twitch occasionally if my time allows it and I feel like it. Keep on keeping on, Bandit! All the best!

[@totallytry1136]

[@jvsm_est]

Oh, that's a bit sad, as I won't be able to watch you on twitch at all and I'd rather have full vods if I'm unable to watch live, rather then edited versions. But since you're happy with that decision -- good luck with twitch!

[@brightnessjencee8125]

😭😭😭 I’m so sad. Twitch does not work well sharing from my iPad to TV. Guess I’ll be stuck with the vods. That’s ok though. Best wishes on the change over. I hope it works out well for you. 😁 I can’t wait for you to play the Chasm archon quest!!!

[@celestialgoddessgaming]

I'm so bad at catching when you go live that I've been watching your VOD's. But I'm looking forward to being able to join your live streams on Twitch.

[@joshnegrillo6319]

Cannot wait for the twitch streams @BanditJo🙂. More streams soon story quest event quest and world quest More characters and builds🙂

[@Emrys2526]

I'll stay on KZbin. I was hoping when you'd stream it'd be on KZbin, I've been waiting since December when you got to new york & i thought once you come back I'll join the channel membership and do superchats but(the wait wasn't worth it as you're moving to Twitch) & Twitch isn't for me and there's obvious reasons and, to be honest this video kind of discouraged me to do stuff that i thought about so. I mean you know Ludwig or not but he streams on KZbin mainly. Nevertheless I'll support you and your decision being a subscriber of the channel. (It's my point of view and how i truly felt about this video). And nevertheless have a good day :)

[@akaiflora]

*Happy Mod noises* See you soon on Twitch! LETS GO!

[@apoorvjoshi2383]

I support any endeavour you may have planned, i just need to be aware of twict stream timings(i have youtube on phone so its easier to get a notific).

[@King_Jockey]

for the vods, you could upload both an edited version and a normal unedited version since some of your viewers (me included) may prefer the full thing rather than just highlights and vice versa too, some prefer highlights over the full thing so its the best of both worlds

[@litefeather1123]

Yay for let's plays!

[@ShiningLight]

I'm not a big fan of lives, I prefer videos without chat interaction like the early ones, even the VODs are too full of that for me, so I haven't been active much on this channel lately. Personally, you should just do what you feel like. I'm in the minority anyway. Good luck with the channel!

[@Meme.Supreme]

sounds like a plan my dude :) I'm just wondering if you will ever return to Zelda playthroughs? mainly BoTW Randomized or Twilight Princess. thanks, love you!

[@DreadeDragon]

I think that this is the best of both worlds

[@vnchillinYT]

You may want to do another poll on your stream schedule. As I have read through the comments here, many people doesn't want to go twitch and it may affect the preferred schedule of the majority of the people who will be watching you on twitch.

I would say that instead of just editing the vods, perhaps you could upload the edited and unedited versions, with the unedited versions obviously coming before the edited versions. So that way you can take a bit more time to edit your vods and so that it's not too demanding.

Nah, i like KZbin streaming better....twitch is too heavy on my bandwidth and my signal is crappy anyway

[@amaira4651]

I'm actually not upset at this, with one of the reasons being that I'm not allowed to watch KZbin on T-days and I don't really like having to sit through two or three hours just to catch up.

[@bagsAllison]

My only question is, when you stream on twitch, will the streams be viewable there after they're over? Like if I wanted to watch the full thing as opposed to the edited version? 👀

[@arthurman7503]

when will you do other than genshin. i loved the old bandit, the second wind bandit, the fnaf security breach bandit, the indie horror games bandit, my favorite bandit. i like your genshin streams and videos, but plz add other games into the mix. perhaps, choo choo charles, or you could beat tunic! i hope you take this comment into consideration, as i know i cant be the only one who misses other games. on a side note, i love your content, your pretty cool, keep at it bye!

[@AnimationStation3000]

I don't use twitch, so I won't be able to join in during the streams anymore. If uploading to KZbin, don't edit the vod, it's enjoyable watching you run around and just talk. If you prefer edited videos maybe you could do both edited and unedited.
