While I know this might be a Twitch issue, I do watch streams for other games for drops with no issues.

Tonight I’ve watched 8 hours of EVE affiliated streams and only had a 15-20 minute downtime due to disconnects and streamers disconnecting, it has registered 2h 54 min.

It’s a recurring issue that you have to watch the stream way longer for it to fulfill that 4 hours that you state.

It’s either a streamer not being correctly registered or some other glitch, you can have a dude/dudette open for 4 hours and it only registers 1-2 hours.

I’m already used to refreshing the stream whenever I actually watch it, to be honest no one watches streams for the content anymore but that’s besides the point.

Again, I play multiple games with drops, never had this issue with other titles, also 4 hours to get a random drop is sadistic where other titles will give you 3-4 in the same time span, just sayin’.

I get that it’s free stuff, but it’s really not, is it. It’s our time.
