End of an era
"I wanted to let you know that I am moving on from Twitch, so after 8 years I will no longer be your point of contact," Chase said in an email to the press.
"I am not sure where I will be next, but ideally it will still be doing gaming related PR."
Chase also took to Twitter to announce the news, hailing Twitch as a "great place to work" and stating that he plans to stick around on the gaming scene.
