Dr DisRespect claims he ‘broke’ Twitch (Updated)

In December, Guy “Dr DisRespect” Beahm announced he was taking a break from livestreaming even though he was one of the biggest personalities on Twitch. Today, Dr DisRespect has returned, and the huge audience tuning in to watch him was too much for the site’s servers.

As Dr DisRespect’s broadcast was starting, several Twitch features suddenly quit loading. Dr DisRespect, along with many others, could not start their streams. I’ve reached out to ask Twitch about this outage, but Dr DisRespect is taking credit on Twitter.
