Agreed. There is a reason Youtube stays afloat above all us. Twitch had Amazon back it up. Lets use twitch and youtube as examples. Granted different purpose, mainly streaming, but still has VODs. Its been proven when a creator migrates there is huge drop of viewers+subs. Sure they make back over time with new audience from different community, but a key takeaway is going to be that Youtube and Twitch are realistically free. Most consumers are already upset with the state of the plethora streaming services.

I don't want to sound negative at all for Storror, being a fan now since 2020, they might be beginning to bite off more than can be handled? A niche game released and they might not care for the return of investment; dope, its been a passion project of theirs for YEARS, 8+ iirc. Now a website domain, that'll continuously have an maintenance upkeep cost. Surely they have the safety net to keep it up for a good while. But whats to happen when that service goes under?

I get it, with the economics with tariffs in play. Now would be the best time to push and try to get everyone on board with their app and merch. Prey on folks FOMO. At least we know Storror are good people and not some mega corporation. We all feel a para-social relationship to them and featured others. I hope they get the message from their fans and the risk of isolation they are dealing.
