Twitch Star Signs $100 Million Deal With Rival Platform
www.nytimes.com
The deal signed by Félix Lengyel, known as xQc, matches traditional athletes’ contracts, and is another sign of Twitch’s tense relationship with its top streamers.

After dealing with lots of bad PR from terrible decisions, Twitch now has to deal with one of its biggest streamers moving to another platform, Kick, with a deal larger than those of most athletes

      great that there’s a Twitch rival trying to get serious

      Kick is not it though.
      Their mothership Stake is crypto gambling casino and it’s shady as fuck

    @Kara A bit of history here :

    Stake (a sketchy online casinos) made Kick after Twitch banned gambling using sketchy online casinos from the platform.

    XQC was one of the streamer sponsored by Stake.

    Xqc got mad when another streamer (Mizkif) were campaigning to get gambling banned from Twitch, so XQC try to weaponized a girl sexual allegation against Mizkif’s friend in order to cancelled Mizkif.
