IGN: “Twitch has blocked the U.S. Army from running controller giveaways after they were allegedly found to redirect viewers to a military recruitment page.”
“A report from The Nation dug into how the US Military is using online gaming to recruit teens. The Nation found that viewers watching the Army’s channel were being presented with chat prompts to ‘win an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller.’ But when clicking the link to enter the giveaway, users were supposedly met with ‘a recruiting form with no additional mention of a contest, odds, total number of winners, or when a drawing will occur.’ When reached for comment by The Nation, the US Army declined to answer.”
