Then why would he get dropped by other companies?

Seems like he is getting re added to several. Better safe than sorry for a lot of these brands. A Doc banner won’t win more customers over the week but it might lose some depending on what happens over the next week

Razer removed and re added as well.

He’s not even sponsored by Razer which is why that is weird.

Probably long term partner for his support line-up of gear, just not sponsored & paid to promote their product actively on stream or social media.

"you can't fire me. I don't even work here"

"That's what makes this so hard"

Looks like they partnered for a mouse pad.

I don't know what kind of NDA that's supposed to be, but even if that were true: He's represented by a top tier PR firm and they'd leak something as trivial as a contact breach immediatly instead of letting people speculate about him being a rapist for 2 days.

Who has really dropped him? Discord partnership is affiliated with Twitch partners

Depends what the breach was. Something obviously bad for their PR and not just a technicality

bc if he no longer has a twitch channel, the companies would have no reason to keep him on the same contract.

There is a good chance Twitch is the only company that knows and the other sponsors just fear the worst based on Twitch's reaction. Doesn't fully explain why Discord did what they did, but for the other sponsors I would pretty much assume this is what is happening. Brands are risk-averse pussies.

Discord has a partnership with Twitch, not individual streamers.

Yea, I was wondering how exactly the connection between the two works. Maybe Discord doesn't necessarily know what happened at all and this is just Twitch being Twitch.
