Todd Geritz, known as Gloopdawg on Twitch, completed a significant live-streaming challenge featuring 303 karaoke songs, which dramatically increased his viewer base. Celebrating his first streaming anniversary, the event fostered community spirit amidst COVID-19. However, 'Twitch Sings', co-developed by Twitch and Harmonix, was abruptly shut down on Jan. 1, 2021, leaving users without archived content or the joy the game provided. The unexpected closure has left lasting frustrations among users who had built their streaming careers around this platform, highlighting the vulnerability of community-driven games to external industry pressures.
The sudden announcement provided little in the way of explanation, and instead included a consolation update that Twitch would be releasing its entire backlog of more than 400 new songs to the game's playlist.
After performing 303 songs live in a 21-hour marathon, Geritz saw his viewer count skyrocket, transforming his streaming career at a critical time.
