True, but then I saw this this post in another thread that indicates there may be new scopes coming for chat that don’t have the same requirements to email Twitch to allow their use:
But yeah, there are pros/cons to different implementations. Some will require the dev to change the way they do things.
It sort of reminds me of when Twitch started making ID’s as important as they were. Most devs saw it as an indication of the (then not announced) username changes and made changes they needed, where as others who didn’t like changing from using usernames as reliable key kicked up a fuss.
