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

    It’s wild that it’s not even exclusive, that’s crazy.

    I guess though is XQC is a gambler, right? So I’m guessing that he’ll have a bunch of times where he’s only on Kick then

      I am pretty sure the minimum amount of hours he has to stream on Kick leaves very little time for Twitch. And with Twitch banning simulcasting for all users, they don’t even have to be afraid of that. It might even be better for Kick if he does go online on Twitch a few times a month as that will let more people know he usually streams on Kick now.
