The streamer Chance “Sodapoppin” Morris now explains what could ruin the new Twitch project, the “Offline TV” server for the survival MMO Rust, could be: people with few Twitch followers who are incredibly good at Rust. Nobody wants to see such an “Andy” take down a star streamer like Pokimane, believes Sodapoppin.
This is the situation:
- Several months ago, the “Offline TV” server for Rust was a big hit on Twitch. Only selected streamers were allowed to play, either peacefully or by killing each other.
- The server was quickly replaced by roleplay in GTA 5, but now a comeback is being planned.
- However, streamer Sodapoppin wishes that not too many strong players that no one knows are on the server. Because they would ruin all the fun. Nobody wants to see a strong, but unknown streamer kill a Twitch star.
No one wants to see a guy with 20 viewers kill Pokimane
This is what Sodapoppin says: In one of his Twitch streams, he states:
“I’m saying this bluntly: No one cares about any Andys with 20 viewers who are really good at Rust. And I fear the new server will be infected with Andys who are really good at Rust.”

Sodapoppin elaborates: Nobody wants to see an unknown but strong player kill someone like Pokimane and then flex. In contrast, if another big streamer like xQc kills the streamer Pokimane in Rust, that is hysterically funny, fantastic, and simply good content.
Ultimately, a Rust server with many good but unknown Rust players would be the same as a public Rust server.
Here’s the background: This is certainly a logical and correct observation from Sodapoppin’s perspective, but this creates a “closed community” to which only the privileged have access.
Recently, it has been increasingly evident that the existing Twitch stars decide who can enter their club and who cannot. This has a strange aftertaste.
