Yesterday, Blizzard released a collection of classic games from the studio. But the studio also issued a warning to those who wanted to stream one of the games, R.ock n ‘Roll Racing on Twitch: turn off the music. Everything.
Announced and released yesterday, the Blizzard Arcade Collection contains three classic games: The Lost Vikings, Rock n ‘Roll Racing, and Blackthorne. Use caution while playing if you plan to stream this collection Rock n ‘Roll racing because the music in this arcade racer cannot be streamed. As noted by PCGamesN, this PSA came via a tweet from Adam Fletcher, a community development lead at Blizzard. “If you choose to stream, do so with the music turned off,” Fletcher warned.
The new version of the game in the Blizzard Arcade Collection not only contains the midi classic rock covers from the original release, but also newly added full versions of the same songsThis is a cool bonus, but it also means that this game has a ton of licensed music that can get you into a DMCA attack on Twitch.

However, it’s not just the new complete versions of the songs that you should avoid while on Twitch. Fletcher also added that the old school midi track covers can also get you in trouble for the time being. Seen one of the best parts of it Rock n ‘Roll racing is the classic rock soundtrack, this is not a great solution.
In November, with little warning, Twitch began removing clips and streams from the site that contained licensed music or sound effects. The situation has not improved much since then.
At the opening ceremony of BlizzCon last nightincluded Metallica’s performance had his music removed and replaced with generic audio by Twitch. This is a good system we have. Everything works perfectly …
