Given that this thread was a simple request for information by the OP,

> [@truethat](#):

I think it really should have ended after the 2nd post, by Fleg,

> [@Fleg](#):
>
> This has been brought up before […] devs said […]. You won’t get banned.

or perhaps after some quotes/screenshots were provided – which I’ll attempt to do now.

If you enter ‘Mixer’ into the forum search, the first result is another thread by the original poster, @truethat, about a year ago, asking why the Devs allow the use of Mixer (as truethat firmly believed it to be cheating):

 ![sbrowser](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/7/37fc688c854e55c331911a2dfe568fd11f8876e1.jpeg)

Locked threads. Weird.

It got a bit convoluted, so it’s perhaps (😛) understandable that @truethat wasn’t able to find the answer they needed for the question at hand. Nonetheless, screenshots of Dev responses in and around post [23](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/mixer-and-cheating/44261/23) from that thread provide a pretty fair indication:

To follow up on this, there was a very definitive answer in the next thread listed, which was running around the same time:

> [@GW Mixer (sharing control) cheating or not?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gw-mixer-sharing-control-cheating-or-not/43145/61):
>
> At this point in time we have no official stance regarding Mixer. […] To be clear, we don’t consider it cheating at this point in time.

And more, scrolling down the list; more recently, even (March '19):

> [@Banning on ps4 bias of 505](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/banning-on-ps4-bias-of-505/53080/17):
>
> This is much like the debate on Xbox about using Mixer to play the game.  
> While we don’t encourage players to hot seat their accounts, we want people to be able to play with their family and friends and we would never ban a player for using a feature of their console.

And again, [here](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/is-it-cheating-to-let-another-guildmate-do-your-gw-battles-for-you/33728/31) (May '19), where CanyonSurfer posted a screenshot of Salty’s above response, on a thread asking essentially the same question as the OP.

I haven’t seen any comments or announcements since from the Devs that would indicate they’ve changed their mind; @truethat, I’m pretty sure you’ll be okay.
