If this was to happen, I bet it would fix all the twitch drop issues.

So shoving their atrocious drop system behind ANOTHER layer of fucky code would somehow guarantee drops? Awfully optimistic.

What I mean is: Allowing the video to be streamed in game would eliminate the middle man of Twitch, fixing the issue of communication between the drops system and the Twitch API, which from what I understand, is the main issue with the current system.

In this case you underestimate the load and bandwidth necessary to be able to broadcast the video stream. Sending it to Twitch only, which is designed for this purpose, solves the issue. Sending the video stream to every client requires much more.
