I wish there were a proper RFC for this, but I’ll leave my feedback about this topic this here for now.
As a developer of an app, and in the future- an extension that will build off of my app. Will there be a way to opt out of the 20% developer cut?
I assume that of the 80/20 split Twitch won’t be taking anything more from either side, as a cut has already been taken in the purchase of bits, so providing an opt-out shouldn’t theoretically hurt the companies profits any. It would only affect either the developer or the streamer.
The reason I would want an opt-out is because my app already has paid options offsite through my own service. Streamers must pay to use some tiers of my service, and I don’t want to suddenly double dip by cutting into their profits. My app is designed to help the streamer provide a better, more entertaining, and less exhausting stream, so I may still want to include paid options of the streamers choosing.
My app provides tools to allow streamers to better earn revenue, but I don’t want to take any of the profit away from them.
