I know that many of you enjoy watching us stream all kinds of games on our Twitch (Free) channel but can’t always show your support if you do your watching on the mobile app. Fortunately, that’s about to change. Twitch has just announced that starting today, you can buy Bits on the mobile app (although it’s going to take a couple of weeks for the functionality to go live in the 40 countries or so that the feature will be available). The Buy Bits button will now appear at the bottom of the chat, and once you tap it, you’ll be able to pick a Bits bundle and show us how much fun you’re having. Bits pricing on mobile will be a bit higher though (those pesky fees).
This is just one of three major Bits-related features coming in the near future. We are also getting the ability to buy Bits using PayPal—for those who don’t like using credit cards—and the ability to do Subscription Gifting. The last two features should be coming in the next couple of months or so, but the Mobile Bits feature is live now. See you on our streams, and thank you in advance for the Bits.
It's super fun! Not sure how they're monitizing this just yet, but it's cool so far.
Some trivia questions are sponsored by certain companies. So say, in a question, they ask about the history of Nike, there's a fair chance that Nike paid the HQ devs money to put that question in.
HQ is awesome, but it's just scratching the surface. I expect a seismic shift to live event mobile game shows in the next 2-3 years.
why do they want my phonenumber: i will never show my phonenumber to anyone on the appstore! never had this experience with a game before really creepy: just erased it
I'm guessing it's so you don't set up multiple devices to play on. People usually have a limited amount of phone numbers, usually one.
Sounds good, unfortunately for me I'm getting the kids to bed at one time and the other time is two in morning. The only time I've played it so far was when I was up in the middle of the night with a vomiting bug!
what are they doing with my phone number and how much money are they getting from selling it? sorry, if 555-5555 doesn't work i'm out
Search for an app called Burner on the App Store, I use it for all sorts of temporary phone number stuff where you can't just put in a garbage number because they confirm via text. I bought a couple bucks worth of credit a year or more ago and still have tons left.
