Popular streamer Disguised Toast makes a surprise return to Twitch just months after leaving the platform to join Facebook Gaming. The streamer signed an exclusive deal with Facebook Gaming in November after revealing that he felt unable to grow his brand on Twitch.
On April 22, 2020, Disguised Toast came back to Twitch to host a Just Chatting stream. While some of the streamer's fans asked if it was "legal" for him to be streaming on Twitch, Disguised Toast confirmed that it was all above board. Disguised Toast told his viewers, of which there were 22,000, that Facebook is fine with it and told him "you go get ‘em!" when he asked if he could do a Twitch stream.
This isn't a full move back to Twitch and Disguised Toast was quick to make that clear to fans. The streamer said that after five months, he is happy with the move to Facebook Gaming and it has been good for his mental health. He enjoys being able to play whatever game he wants with who he wants and he is no longer angry at his chat. When revealing why he left Twitch for Facebook Gaming, Disguised Toast talked about the "pressure" he had felt from fans, and it seems he has been able to get away from that with the new exclusivity deal.
Viewers will have noticed some big changes to the streamer's Twitch profile though as they can no longer become a Disguised Toast subscriber. He also doesn't have a Twitch Partner badge, meaning he can't make money from ads such as the notorious Coke video.
Some did donate money to support the streamer. However, as he is one of the richest gaming streamers and has said before that he doesn't need the money, Disguised Toast donated it to coronavirus relief efforts.
Disguised Toast may no longer be a Twitch Partner, but the streamer did seem to enjoy his return to Twitch. The offline screen on his Twitch page says that he will be "live whenever" and that people should follow the stream to see when he's live next. He'll likely keep his Twitch streams to Just Chatting and use Facebook Gaming for games.
It seems unlikely that other former Twitch stars will return to the site after leaving for other platforms, as not all of them left the site on such good terms. Mixer streamer Ninja has criticized Twitch several times since leaving the site so that's one streamer fans shouldn't expect to come back soon.
