Top Twitch streamers like Pokimane and HasanAbi, and even NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have turned on Streamlabs for ripping off OBS and stealing their name without permission. Streamlabs is one of the top live streaming software and tools brand in the world, but when they started copying rival company Lighstream’s entire advertising campaign...and then stole the OBS name for their new project, SLOBS, despite OBS denying them permission to use their name...streamers like HasanAbi and Pokimane were pissed. Pokimane threatened to completely drop Streamlabs unless they stopped stealing the OBS name, and HasanAbi said he would never use Streamlabs on his Twitch stream again if they didn’t immediately drop the OBS name. Even NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who is currently avoiding federal charges in Russia, took time out to point out how Streamlabs was plagiarizing other companies. Streamlabs did finally remove OBS from their new platform name, but in the wake of that announcement more allegations slamming Streamlabs for stealing content and marketing ideas have popped up...so it may be rough sailing for the streaming giant. #Streamlabs #Pokimane #Twitch #Hasanabi // FOLLOW US Talent: Jake: https://twitter.com/JakeSucky Hunter: https://twitter.com/HunterTheHerald Franke: https://twitter.com/MegaphoneFranke Producer: Peter: https://twitter.com/VegasVanguards Check out our brand new channel, Gaming Shorts: https://bit.ly/GamingShorts Esports Talk is your leading source of gaming and esports news.
