[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 7750993, member: 6669048"] I doubt that would change in the near future. Geek & Sundry's Twitch channel is pretty much the House that Critical Role Built. They're doing very well for a multihost multishow variety Twitch channel and have a very strong fanbase, but their numbers [I]skyrocket [/I]every Thursday. Their viewer numbers jump from several hundred or a couple thousand to tens of thousands. They're not going to let go of that until they absolutely have to, even if it means hosting via the Twitch system rather than multicasting. Because a lot of those fans don't necessarily read all the news or social media to know that Critical Role got their own channel, especially because Twitch channels are notoriously bad about communicating outside their actual streams (it's one of the reasons it took me so long to report on Zombie Orpheus taking over several of HyperRPG's shows - HyperRPG didn't announce they were closing their Seattle studio anywhere but the live stream). So I'd expect that to go on for as long as possible if nothing else to keep the subscribers that are only around for Critical Role, at least until they could build up another show with as much pull from outside their normal hosts.
