They noticed that the still images don’t replace the time slots of advertisements. Some Twitch users have been getting the still message for the past few months.
Some viewers noted that the streaming platform falsely claimed that third-party ad-blocking tools “affect Twitch’s performance.” This isn’t something they’ve noticed. Some Twitch users said that whenever they see an ad on Twitch they add the product to a list of items they will never purchase.Įven though Twitch users still preferred the still image, many people took an issue with Twitch’s seemingly dishonest tactics. Bud Light has an advertisement that celebrates Twitch mods, which viewers don’t seem to enjoy. And soon tens of thousands of gamers joined our mission and destroyed burger freezers in their own gameplay and documented it in user-generated content.Others called the advertisements “cringe,” noting that they often tried to target gamers and the streaming community in very obvious ways. Even Twitch helped spread our mission by creating a highlight reel of Wendy’s destroying Fortnite freezers. Wendy’s changed the way that the most popular video game is played and set the foundation for brands to authentically engage this audience on it (for better or worse). Viewers shared our stream, and mentions of Wendy’s increased by 119% across social platforms. Our Twitch stream was viewed live more than a quarter of a million times. Wendy’s time destroying in-game freezers amassed more than 1.5 million minutes watched. We played the game as Wendy’s, using it as a vehicle for our core brand messaging and virtually demonstrating our commitment to our core differentiator: fresh, never frozen beef.
We decided to enter the fight on the side of Team Pizza, making it our objective to eliminate all burger freezers from the game. The game’s objective is to eliminate other players and be the last person standing. We discovered that Durr Burger stored its virtual beef in freezers, a move directly against the fresh, never frozen beef for which Wendy’s is famous. In this game mode, proponents of the Fortnite universe’s two restaurants - Durr Burger and Pizza Pit - could represent Team Burger or Team Pizza in battle. When Fortnite introduced a new game mode called Food Fight, we saw an organic way to insert Wendy’s into the game’s story and meet our audience in its world.
