I guess my pessimistic lens is a little strong and I generally don’t trust large companies to act in good faith. So maybe I’m over scrutinizing here and being a bit of a curmudgeon.

I think your perspective is fair, and it’s likely this is akin to a high school faculty dealing with some random word or idea becoming a meme of sorts and causing problems. So they have to write some new rule that sounds ridiculous or weird.

There are a couple Jewish lead organizations that fight for the freedom of Palestine and have been very critical of Israel for many years.

Jewish Voices for Peace* is one group. I wonder how they’d feel about Twitches new policy. I’m genuinely curious what their opinion would be.

Same, still playing my ps4, probably won’t buy a ps5 though. I’ll just wait for ps6 or whatever to happen. As of now ps4 plays elden ring and bloodborne(two of my favorite games) so I’m content with it.

Ark survival evolved is something my husband and I enjoy playing together that’s quite fun. The base building and dino taming together is very enjoyable if you’re on a private server.

If you give this one a try, make sure whoever is hosting sets their server to private and invites the other person via steam. Otherwise you might get randos.
