NOTE: I do not personally stream, nor have any desire to. This is a concern for those who do.
,
I’m unsure how to respond to you. My second concern at this point is how you became leader of this team? As a leader of this public gift you should be striving to resolve all issues brought up. I came here to point out an obvious problem and even gave a reasonable solution which you still, as ‘leader’, have ignored and not commented on which would solve this problem. And after reading both your responses it’s just littered with excuses. Anyone can deduce the same opinion I have by reading this whole thread, sadly.
I’ll still humor your response of you don’t have rights (which we all know you do at this point) but if no one on the team who has these powers that Gladpus mentioned (which you failed to tell us as leader …. I really, really wonder why?) why wouldn’t the privilege of being hosted by UnrealEngine have that simple requirement: If you wish to be auto hosted -> do game development only. This way you do not get Auto Hosted and end up doing (whatever non-game development related) over others who are? (Again, I will state I believe there should be exceptions for Charity --only–)
However, I’ve dug into this for you as I feel at this point you do not know fully what you are leading. (A simple search brought the following link up): Customer Support
Again, I’d like to state personally I’m unsure how you became leader of this team without knowledge of twitch. This is a twitch focused game development team, right? However, we do not have to worry about the ‘priority list’: Clearly in the link, the second to last question at the bottom states you can have it do random selections of a list vs a priority list. Fantastic! that resolves “favoritism” in the list and prioritization and I hope it is that way. But the issue remains, which you pointed out twice now and I am responding to twice: Members of this team cannot be on 24/7 and it’s not (shouldn’t be) expected of volunteers; so, to resolve this issue there should be requirements to ensure those who get this privilege of auto hosting are doing it correctly. If they violate it, give a warning. If violated again removed from the auto host list and never added again. It’s not difficult.
Sadly, at this point I cannot discuss this with you anymore as you have clearly showed there is no understanding on your end or simply no concern for a very real problem I have disclosed or even bothered to acknowledge the solution. As well as not mentioning information that should be public to here (that you can manually do things). It’s my understanding, you do not own the UnrealEngine twitch, I may be wrong and if so all of this is a waste of time for me but I don’t think that is the case? However, as a leader you should be striving to resolve all issues brought up, not trying to make excuses.
Either way, I will be contacting Epic Staff to help assist in this matter as you have shown you have no desire to fix it. I recommend others who wish to be auto hosted also bring it up to an Epic Staff. Clearly the leader of this gift is not acting in a way that is welcoming. The image this gift is getting from your responses is not a very good one. What if someone else has a problem? You will respond the same way? Lies? No desire to show concern? This is very, very bad.

Zeiten,
We are aware of the issues, and I do not have access to the auto host list, as proof see this image.
I do have the desire to fix this, the reason why I “haven’t yet done anything about it” as you say is because of GDC, I have no intention to bother the community managers with this issue until GDC is over, I have mentioned it before GDC but Epic Games is extremely busy before GDC so we weren’t able to solve it.
Without access to the auto host list I am not even sure who is on the list so enforcing a requirement(which is nothing we will ever do, and this is internally discussed) is not even possible, I do not own the UnrealEngine twitch account and do not have direct access, I only have access to decide who is manually hosted.
Everyone is free to stream what they want, and we’re discussing solutions for this issue but right now we can’t do anything about it until the GDC heat cools down.
If you have concerns you’re free to contact Epic about it.
