Sony Won’t Let You Save Some Until Dawn Streams On Twitch

Sony Won’t Let You Save Some Until Dawn Streams On Twitch

Until Dawn is fantastic, and the horror premise is readymade for streaming and Let’s Plays. Who lives? Who dies? It’s perfect for an audience! For whatever reason, though, Sony has decided to handicap how people share their experiences, if you’re playing on a PlayStation 4.

I’d read some scattered reports that Twitch archives for Until Dawn weren’t saving, including one from Kotaku‘s own Patricia Hernandez. After doing a little digging, I found this:

This only happens while using the PlayStation 4’s built-in Twitch app. If you’re capturing footage using a separate box, Sony isn’t actively taking down everything related to Until Dawn.

Still, what the hell? This doesn’t make a lick of sense to me.

If I’m stretching my imagination, I suppose Sony’s worried about people spoiling the story revelations for other people? Banning archives isn’t going to stop that. This is tone deaf.

Sony hasn’t responded to my request for comment, but hopefully this is a temporary mistake.
