I’ve downloaded the 4.4 preview and noticed it directs the developer to get the twitch sdk from the twitch github. This repo does not appear to be available any longer. In fact, it looks like it’s officially pulled:

twitch forum post

“Since PC based broadcasting software has improved so much over the past year, we no longer recommend studios spend the time integrating game streaming directly into their PC game clients. Instead, we recommend studios to encourage their userbases to download third party broadcast solutions such as OBS, and promote their streaming community within their game with in-game viewing integrations and through all other communication channels such as social media and email.”

What is the best recourse at this point? Should each developer ask for private access? Does this kill the UE4 integration?
