Speaking after a viral clip showed a streamer apparently sleeping behind the wheel, he argued that the platform is doing more than simply hosting the content. According to Asmongold, Twitch has created a system that rewards these streams, even after repeated warnings about the risks. His comments have once again put the spotlight on how the platform handles driving-related content.Why Asmongold believes Twitch should be held responsible for distracted driving streamsAsmongold shared his views during a livestream on August 3, reacting to a clip that had spread online showing a streamer seemingly asleep while driving.“I can’t wait for one of these streamers to kill somebody on stream because of distracted driving. I want Twitch to get sued,” Asmongold said, adding that it is “crazy” that people still have “leeway” for driving streams.He then explained why he believes the platform should also be held responsible if a serious accident happens.“Why would Twitch get sued for that? Because they have created an incentive structure around allowing people to distracted drive on their platform that they’ve profited from, they’ve been made away of this, and they’ve chosen to ignore it.“And, by choosing to ignore it and allowing paying and incentivizing people to continue doing distracted driving, they’ve now created more of this distracted driving, which I think means they are partially liable for the behavior of people that are doing this.”His comments came as the debate around livestreaming while driving continues to grow. The issue has drawn criticism from several creators who believe broadcasting from behind the wheel puts both streamers and others on the road at risk.Twitch’s driving stream rules remain under scrutinyDriving streams have been part of Twitch for years, but they have faced heavier criticism in recent months after several incidents where streamers appeared distracted while driving.Twitch has already updated its rules around driving broadcasts. Under the platform’s policy, streamers are not allowed to respond to chat, touch their phones or engage in other behavior that could distract them while driving. Those who break the rules can face suspensions, although many of those bans have only lasted a short time.Even with those changes, some creators believe the rules do not go far enough. Asmongold has previously called for driving streams to be banned completely. He has also suggested that streamers should use ride-sharing services or hire personal drivers if they want to broadcast while travelling.Streamer DansGaming has also spoken against the trend, saying, “Drivers are terrible and dangerous enough when they aren’t streaming. This should never be encouraged or allowed on Twitch.”
