Happy Tuesday, streamers!

I had the unfortunate luck of getting COVID during the long holiday weekend. In fact, my whole family got COVID. While most of the nation was enjoying burgers, hot dogs, and fireworks, we spend the weekend indoors focusing on getting better. I really wanted a hot dog 😩😩😩

Thankfully, it was a quiet week in the gaming and streaming space so it doesn’t look like I missed out on too much.

Since I was under the weather the last few days, I skipped our usual top stories section and just focused on the headlines.

If you are interested in participating in a creator event, getting game keys for upcoming titles, or partnering with a marketing agency check out the details in our Tuesday To-Dos.

Until next week!

I hope you’re overwhelmed with opportunity
