Last June, Dr. Disrespect has received a permanent ban on Twitch. Now Dr. Disrespect says that he will sue Twitch.
The news was shared with fans on Dr. Disrespect’s YouTube channel. The reason behind him suing Twitch is in fact, the reason for the ban that was imposed by Twitch, according to Dot Esports.
Dr. Disrespect did not reveal the reason for his ban, but he explains the thing as “I’ve known for months now the reason why and I’ll just say this right now champs, ‘there’s a reason why we’re suing the fu*k out of them.’ I don’t know how else to put it. The amount of damages and you just don’t — Nah, no, no.”
It feels like he had more to say, but had to cut himself before he actually started to explain the whole thing. The frustration he has is undeniable. Financial wise things aren’t looking well, along with partnerships. He explains the issue:
“The Twitch ban has really, really affected us not just from a financial standpoint but from a networking standpoint,” he says, “From all the relationships we built over the past five years in terms of Activision and EA, all the big sponsors and partnerships, they have to question, ‘why did you get banned?'”.
Currently, we do not have any information on the reason for the ban for Dr. Disrespect, and Twitch refrains from commenting on the matter. Dr. Disrespect on the other hand says he knows the reason for the ban himself, but won’t be explaining the situation at least for now. The reason for the ban might come out in court, but that’s something we’ll see in the future.
