Yesterday, Blizzard released a collection of the studio’s classic games. But the studio also gave a warning to those who want to stream one of the games, Rock n ‘Roll Racing on Twitch: Turn off the music. All this.
Announced and Released, the Blizzard Arcade Collection contains three classic games: The Lost Vikings, Rock n ‘Roll Racing, and Blackthorne. If you plan to stream this collection, be careful when playing it Rock n ‘Roll races since the music contained in this arcade racer can not be cleared. As seen by PCGamesN, this PSA came via a tweet from Adam Fletcher, a leader in community development at Blizzard. “If you choose to stream, please do so when the music is turned off,” warned Fletcher.
The new version of the game released in the Blizzard Arcade Collection not only contains the Midi classic rock cover found in the original version, but also just added full versions of the same songs. This is a nice bonus, but it also means that this game contains a lot of licensed music that could give you a DMCA strike on Twitch.
G / O Media can get a commission
However, it’s not just the new full versions of the songs that you should avoid during Twitch. Fletcher also added that, for now, the old school midi covers can get you in trouble too. Consider one of the best parts of Rock n ‘Roll races is the classic rock soundtrack, it’s not an excellent solution.
Back in November, with little warning, Twitch started purifying clips and streams from the site which contains licensed music or sound effects. The situation has not improved much since then.
In fact, during the BlizzCon opening ceremony last night, a pre-recorded Metallica’s performance, his music was removed and replaced with generic sound by Twitch. This is a good system we have. Everything works perfectly …
