Does this mean I have a chance? Probably not, they'll definitely not want another vesper now. Besides, what are the chances I'd ever get permission to stream games like OG x-com: ufo defense, cold war era milsim games, hex based wargames like Shadow Empire and mega-autism simulators like Aurora 4x and Rule the Waves? I'd definitely run afoul of permission hell.
