Elden Ring Streamers Banned From Receiving Donations
FromSoftware has banned Japanese Twitch streamers from receiving tips while streaming Elden Ring. The open-world epic, which finally launched on February 25, makes an excellent subject for streaming due to its difficulty and open-ended nature. Fun concepts like an Elden Ring Twitch stream using Ring Fit Adventure controls have the potential to build a community around the game, but many streamers in Japan are becoming frustrated by a restrictive FromSoftware policy.
Dating back to 2009's Demon's Souls, FromSoftwarehas built a library of difficult action role-playing games.
