So, what going on here. Some time ago I already had to merge account with Cursegaming. Now with Twitch, which probably is tied to Amazon by many users. So I share my posts here with my real ID if I dont use different accounts. Big Data is coming for you...
our auth system was never the greatest for one, along with other reason, it makes the most sense for us to just use twitch auth instead of maintaining two systems.
When you made an account for hearthpwn, you already made an account for very different sites, a curse account works on a vast amount of sites, that account will just be the twitch account instead of the curse account now.
Curse Auth is going away, which is why it’s not an optional switch.
Thanks to the give away we don't get a say in this... The news post is filled with people that only read the "We give away packs for free"
There's been opposition, you've always been allowed to voice your concerns about changes - feedback has been received in the past and I've personally gone through many of the pages in the news post to look for comments specifically about feedback. It's moving a bit too quick at times though which likely has contributed to some posts being missed when they get bumped to other pages. Thanks for including your comment here as well.
This has been a long time coming and we've been moving forward with Twitch auth as a network for the past year with new sites coming online no longer allowing Curse accounts.
Your HearthPwn account already was able to be used on almost all our Curse network sites as it was a Curse account, it's nice to think of this as a way of leveling up your account to include an extra site. The only things that are changing here is you'll go to the Twitch site to change your password. The login form is still on our site, none of our site features are going away, and we're all still here! As an added benefit, we do get access to better overall security by having one login system across the network and you can enable two-factor authentication on your Twitch account to keep your own account more secure which I'm always a huge advocate of and love that we have it now.
The decline in social behavior has nothing to do with the internet, its a problem of society. Google Mouse Utopia Experiment.
The information gathered now is for ads, they want to know our hobbies like gaming, internet activity and so on. I already dont like this. A huge surveillance apperatus gets installed only for the sake of higher profits and nobody knows where this is leading to. Nothing good for sure.
@GutsHS
Yeah, its "funny" they made those free packs to clutter the comment selection so critic will bury itself. Makes it feel even worse, but people are sheeps.
My twitch account was actually deleted for inactivity and user name is unavailable, and I don't feel like creating new one (no idea how to name it)
I'm not sure if it will help, but maybe Twitch Support can do something about it. If you're talking about this exact name you have on your account, it seems like no one is actively using it on Twitch so maybe it's stuck in limbo. https://help.twitch.tv/ https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/emails/new

I agree, social behaviour has been on the decline since news started "sensationalizing" bad things happening, and doing warnings etc in order to get more views. The current news paradigm has basically destroyed our society along with law makers making it difficult to let your kids play outside... I mean in the 80's I got a free range of New York, now in my small city which is much safer other parents and the law itself is against that kind of thing. and neighbors are generally susupicious of each other. It sucks. If anything the internet is enabling like minded people to meet up through sights like facebook, and meetup.com
I signed up for Heartpwn, I like this site and it's content. What would possible be my interest in joining up with twitch?
Giving my data to them and their advertisement campaigns. If this was an optional feature I would aplaude it but to force users into stepping onto another platform is a verly low thing to do.
This! I agree 100%!
I don't have a twitch account and never used/visted this site. I'm using exactly one Curse site. I have to think if I will create one of this forced accounts or just go read only or even leave your site...

I'd like to reiterate that we're already a member of the Twitch family and have been for over a year now.
You already have a Curse account which is not just an account used here on HearthPwn but also enables access to most of our other websites (a notable exception I know of being MMO-Champion). This is essentially just giving you access to one additional site, improving your account's security and improving our handling of accounts - a huge positive all around.
I understand there's some resistance here, but this is really a positive thing in the long term and we won't be forcing you to use Twitch at all - you'll only need to use it to login to the site and update your password.
Lmao everyone is so upset for no real reason. This is only going to help Hearthpwn become stronger and more efficient, with a potentially larger community. Like people worried about meta information privacy on the Internet at this point are kidding themselves, it's too late I'm sorry, HAL 9000/Skynet will kill us all no matter what as long as we've got Zuck runing around calling Elon a dummy.

What happened to independent sites and forums?
They are going the way of the dialup BBS.
If you are in your first year of playing please read this post.
Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.
We were acquired by twitch over a year ago :)

So to be clear here, my access to this forum and mtgsalvation will be blocked off unless I link my account to a twitch account?

Are our accounts going to be deleted if we don't merge in time?
