On January 30, Pokimane threatened to leave Twitch. Is she just playing with our emotions, or is she serious?
Pokimane is the unofficial queen of Twitch, with thousands tuning in to watch her stream every day. And while she might have a few haters, they pale in comparison to her army of simps.
She's threatened to leave Twitch before, but this time around she seems serious. Let's take a look at exactly what she said.
"Pokimane, Please Don't Do This" Starlet Threatens Community With Departure From Twitch
Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys just posted this message to Twitter:
the end of an eratwitch has been my home for a decade..but it's time to say thank you for all the memories and love during my League, Fortnite, & Among us days pic.twitter.com/S8FMp6G3I8

Now, to be clear, she hasn't explicitly said she will leave, but we don't see any other way to interpret the message "it's time to say thank you for all the memories." She also made a separate comment in her Instagram story from the same day, in which she claimed to have "teared up" while making a recent decision.
We're grasping at straws trying to find some alternative meaning to her social media posts today, but it looks like the truth is undeniable. Pokimane will be leaving Twitch.
Given how wealthy she is, we can't blame her; she can happily retire already. But this is still a hammerblow. RIP Pokimane streams.
