Content Creation:
Twitch Infrastructure changes
 (Amazon Content Delivery Network / CDN) causing issues for streamers in latency, 
 streams showing offline when live

Twitch's work against "viewer bots"
impact on lurker numbers and knock-on impact to ad revenue (We suspect)

Purchase single day ad-free viewing?

New chinese law:
New law regarding requirement for creators to have a degree or formal education, 
when speaking about sensitive topics such as medical, financial or similar. 
Enforced by the platform. 
Platform is the one facing consequences.
Could potentially lower misinformation. Could open up a space for more professional podcasts on these topics.
But it's also a way of enforcing censorship.

Reckless Rat asks:
As a GM/DM in D&D do you have any amusing stories of 
when the party went completely off script and threw plans into disarray?

Ratty says:
Another fantastic episode.

Mari says:
Master Card threatened to not support payment on Steam any longer for mature games 
because they claimed illegal content was featured. 
According to Valve, that was a huge mischaracterization from the side of Master Card. 
The issue has been settled, but at that time it looked a lot like Master Card wanted to exert 
its power as a credit card company and censor what stuff people could and could not by 
in regards to mature rated games.
