At least 20 percent of the Twitch video on demand or VOD content has been muted, Emmet Shear, the Twitch CEO apologized during a Reddit AmA (Ask Me Anything) last Thursday for not telling and warning the users before the implementation of its new policies.

Twitch implemented the Audible Magic's recognition software last week.The new regime for archived videos rolled out at the same time.

However most of the public were asking and coming to the terms with the news that their videos will no longer be available and can never be stored forever.

"This was our bad. I'm glad we communicated the change to VOD storage policy in advance, giving us a chance to address issues we missed like 2-hour highlights for speed runners before the change went into effect. I'm not so glad we failed on communicating the audio-recognition change in advance, and wish we'd posted about it before it went into effect. That way we could have gotten community feedback first as we're doing now after the fact," said Twitch CEO Emmet Shear

Ars Technica reported that high-profile events such as Valve's DOTA 2 tournament, The International 4 and Twitch Weekly which is a weekly gaming show has also been muted.

The games with music, games with license commercially-available songs were also be muted.

For now, there is no yet word how long the problem will resolve, some users rest assured themselves that it will be solve. As the Twitch CEO vows for better implementation for the benefit of all.
