Following backlash over Twitch’s earlier responses that appeared to downplay popular streamer Emiru’s assault incident at TwitchCon, CEO Dan Clancy has finally released a more thoughtful statement, admitting the platform’s failure. Yet despite promises for improvements in future events, fans aren’t ready to let it go just yet.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post on Oct. 24, Clancy took accountability for the “security incident” that happened during Emiru’s Meet and Greet at TwitchCon San Diego. Acknowledging Twitch’s mistakes, Clancy said: “We mismanaged our communications about the incident, and that includes the comments I made. I apologize to Emiru for all that took place.”
