Thank you @TwitchSings for helping me cleanse myself of a fear of Singing in front of people. This game was the first time so many of its player base Sang in the public eye, including myself, and it helped so many people tremendously with confidence issues. https://t.co/ripsaV6sRN

It was an honor to take part in the Twitch Sings beta, meet so many great people through this game, & play this game at TwitchCon 2019. I never thought the plug would ever be pulled, but here we are. I’ll be revisiting this game often before 2021 hits. https://t.co/K0OmIqjGNO

We've made the difficult decision to close Twitch Sings on January 1, 2021 to invest in broader tools and music services on Twitch. Thank you for rocking our world. For more info: https://t.co/ItImv3u75v pic.twitter.com/jJqICzp8Ul

This really bums and pisses me off! I have made so many new and wonderful friends through this community and continue to keep making new friends but don't worry, I will keep singing with you until they shut this down! https://t.co/2h9HNwPR3u

It’s taken me till now to try and find the words to describe how sad this is and I’ve yet to come up with any. What we’ve all built has absolutely shifted the meaning of music streaming and integrating that with our communities. @Twitch will never be the same. https://t.co/lK3gUy1mYR

I reckon, since watch parties have just gone global, Twitch/Amazon has sorted out some licensing stuff and are working on launching a new music thing that will integrate with amazon music accounts. https://t.co/DwffYHzMyA

Well, this sucks! I'll be sure to get a final play of this before closure. It also seems all video content of it will end up removed too?

Honestly I know a lot of people are disappointed (to say the least), and I completely understand.

I wonder however if this has more to deal with DMCA and the very rocky space surrounding content creation with copyrighted music. https://t.co/9V0lIMVbIO

Seeing a lot of people saying “just make original content”, and while that would obviously solve the issues, some people (myself included) don’t have that ability to just “create” new music.

To say I’m disappointed would be a gross understatement. #heartbroken https://t.co/eJQRRuTQGC
