As a devoted Twitch enthusiast and BibleThump emote connoisseur, I can’t help but feel a sense of impending doom as we approach September 30th. The expiration date for our beloved emote looms large, casting a melancholic shadow over the gaming community. It’s like losing a dear friend who has been by our side through countless streams and memes.
Kick is considering claiming ownership of the popular BibleThump emote from Twitch, following the announcement that the Amazon-controlled platform will be discontinuing it.
Come September 25th, 2024, Twitch made it known that they were pulling the plug on the BibleThump emote by month’s end because the rights to use it had simply run out.
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia. The BibleThump Era, a cherished part of our gaming history (2013-2024), is about to come to an end. On the 30th of September, we bid farewell to the rights to our beloved emote. It’s bittersweet, knowing that our emotional expressions will ascend to a higher realm, but it also means we need a fresh emote to channel those feelings.
The time for the BibleThump Era (2013-2024) is drawing to a close! On September 30th, the licensing rights to our cherished emote will expire. 😞 Although this is unfortunate, we believe that all emotes eventually find their way to a better place. Now, let’s discuss something that has made us feel blue – we’re going to need a fresh emote to express these melancholic emotions…

Supporters rushed to post condolences following the demise of the renowned emote, a symbol with roots traced back to the 2011 popular independent game titled Binding of Isaac.
Isaac’s maker, Edmund McMillen, also expressed his opinions, indicating that he is eager to discover a “resolution” to ensure its continued appearance on Twitch.
Regarding the recent changes with the Bible thump emoticon, I’m open to finding an acceptable resolution whether it’s keeping or adjusting the emote. However, the final decision lies with Twitch as they are the ones setting new policies.

Despite Twitch planning to remove the emote by October, Kick – a streaming platform owned by Stake – has expressed interest in acquiring it, as suggested by their recent post directed at McMillen.
“We cooking?” they asked. Shortly after, the Isaac creator retweeted the post.
@edmundmcmillen we cooking?

Supporters swiftly filled Kick’s response comments expressing their disapproval of Edmund teaming up with the platform. However, the independent developer has not yet addressed these concerns.
It remains uncertain whether BibleThump will be used as an emote on any platform, or maybe even via a third-party service such as 7tv in the future. We’ll just have to watch and see.
Besides this latest modification, Twitch has also unveiled some other changes recently. Specifically, on September 20th, they announced that they would start sending streamers an explanation for their ban, along with clips of the problematic content, in their emails.
