But prohibitions against it were effectively unenforceable short of getting a second system/television.
Sounds like streamers need to have some of transmission delay set up like news stations do.
You can set up delays while streaming; some do, some don't. Interacting with chat is fairly important for growing and keeping your fanbase for most streamers.

Gabe- Against cheating?
Pastor- No, videogames.
That game is Screencheat.
If there were an SMBC style bonus panel, that is what i'd imagine it to be.
but honestly the word "ghost" has way too many definitions as it is
and being a dick, so...
Like a regular Dante's Inferno layer of hell type of deal.
Apparently there is a decent (in size) portion of the internet that are not opposed to stream sniping. And I definitely saw a thread where the pro/cons of the recent PUBG banning included "streamer wasn't adequately hiding their information" as a defense of the sniper.
It's a level of hell were you can see the exit, but every time you get close Satan headshots you
Comedy is pretty good though. Good match as well with the Pokemon issue. "No clue what's going on here....but sounds pretty bad."
Such as seeing what cards they have in their hand in Hearthstone, or seeing where they're hiding in PUBG.
Shouldn't have been watching a Team Fortress stream while flying.
say someone that plays a MMO that you play is live streaming. You use their live stream to your advantage. The one that comes to mind is a case in EVE Online. Some one was live streaming his roam. Everyone watching could see how his ship was fit and what system he was in. Someone got a fleet together fit to counter his weapons and able to eat through his tank. Then they swept in and killed him. It's screen watching for the 21st century.
Father, i have been save scumming with multiple roguelikes.
Remember, your first save shall be last, and your last save shall be first.
It's more akin to screen-watching because instead of focusing in full on your own screen you're also watching someone else's. And in doing so you're killing someone else's fun and doing yourself a disservice because you're not actually getting better at the game.
Watching someone stream to figure out how to kill them seems amusingly clever, but I imagine once it becomes a common streamer hazard it's just annoying.

That seems like a game that would definitely need to either black out the players hand or just not stream. It seems bizarre that streaming it would be a thing otherwise.
That makes the game less entertaining and folluwable for stream-watchers who aren't playing against the steamer at the time, though. Would you want to watch a poker tournament on TV where you weren't shown anyone's hand?
Well, to be fair, they don't broadcast poker tournaments where you can see the players' hands live, either. So really, it seems like that's your choice. Delay and visible, or live and not. I'm not saying it makes it BETTER for the viewer, I'm just saying there's really not much of a choice if you're worried about this sort of thing.
What Hearthstone streamers should really do is overlay the hands from random recorded games on their current stream.
It's not Hearthstone-specific. Plus, in this case, Gabe actually explains the joke as part of the comic.
I don't understand why people wouldn't just put "stream sniping", or whatever term that confuses them, into a search engine. It takes all of 30 seconds to figure out.
