Not exclusive, which makes this whole thing even crazier. He can even still stream on Twitch. 2 year contract worth $70m that can hit $100m with incentives. This should let you read it.
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
He can't stream on twitch anymore if he broadcasts on kick though. Twitch just changed their streamer eula to say you cannot stream to any other web based live streaming service while streaming to twitch.
Which in its own might be a reason for people swichtng to kick if they have a YouTube viewership as well.
Twitch also tightened down on sponsorship in streams last week with such strict rules that they backpedaled due to community response. Seeing the timing of this deal makes me wonder if both changes might have played a party in xqc's decision.
