Phantoml0rd's court win against Twitch could change the platform policies for good

It seems like we are just in the eye of the hurricane in the tale of James Varga vs Twitch. Varga (AKA Phantoml0rd) comes from achieving the unthinkable by bending Twitch to lawfully admit defeat for his unfair lifetime ban back in 2016.

The streaming brand had to reimburse James with over $20,000 for the damage caused to him and his reputation after failing to deliver proper notice of the alleged violations of the community policies and a time frame to address them properly.

Now, Phantoml0rd has taken its signature aggressive playstyle to the courthouse as he pursues his next goal of evaluating and adjusting the partners’ terms, policies and processes to “put a stop on Twitch´s unfair treatment of all streamers”, he stated through Twitter.
