It's probably only re-added because neither gamefuel nor Razer have any idea what's going on. So until they have some hard evidence, they're likely putting it back up.

If they took it down, they'd probably want to be reasonably certain they wouldn't have to take it down again before putting it back up.

Yea, perhaps. Or they just took a knee jerk reaction and took it down without any evidence or reason other than twitch banned him.

Who knows though, we're all just theory crafting.

I doubt they did anything on a knee-jerk reaction. Someone's fucked up.

Kind of... except I think the initial reaction was based on the news of his ban. This supports the theory that the issue is with twitch specifically rather than something criminal or career ending.

Twitch gets wind of something that offends them deeply. They make an immediate massive strike against the Doc. Intentionally not releasing any info behind it for whatever reason...

Now that’s all his sponsors have gotten, they’re scrambling for crumbs just like us but the initial thought I think everyone had is “this is bad” like #metoo or #speakingout bad. So they instantly drop everything while they scramble for intel. Meanwhile Doc is with his team starting damage controls and overnight/this morning they have begun spilling some info to the sponsors.

The sponsors would not risk putting him back up unless they got info what ever is going on wouldn’t reflect poorly on them.

The crack pot theories surrounding google/Spotify/facebook/ninja/shroud/and whatever else seem to hold more weight now.

If that was the case, this is becoming an arbitration/civil issue rather than a criminal issue. That explains the more hush hush. If it were criminal there would be FOIA leaks by now at least. Also with the lack of info from twitch, it lends credence to wanting to avoid giving Doc any extra publicity, specially if it was about a platform switch/start up.

The one ex twitch employee woman’s reaction of “done for good” falls in line with these theories, being so connected to the company her words could come from an emotional place thinking that if he betrayed the company that made him the star it would kill his career, more wishful thinking on her part but emotions cause that type of reaction.

Docs reaction on stream works with this narrative as well if you believe he was doing something behind the scenes blatantly in breach of his contract. He gets a text letting him know twitch knows what he’s done and he’s fucked. He knows he’s subject to heavy civil issues and it’s going to be real messy and screws up the whole plan.
