The following paragraph discusses the importance of staying active and engaged as you age. As we grow older, it’s essential to continue participating in activities that challenge us mentally and physically. Whether it’s taking up a new hobby or joining a social group, staying engaged can have numerous benefits for our overall well-being.
On June 16 2023, Kick made a massive move by signing xQc to their platform with a gigantic $100 million. This is among the biggest deals in sports history. Kick inked the deal with xQc in a contract that is non-exclusive in nature. Considering the fact that the deal is non-exclusive, xQc will still be streaming on Twitch. The actual deal is worth only $70 million but pushes all the way up to $100 million with incentives.
xQc made the news public and in his statement said,
“Kick is allowing me to try and do things I haven’t been able to do before. I am extremely excited to take this opportunity and maximize it into new creative and fresh ideas over the coming years.” “It’ll probably be like wake up, go live, and stream (on Twitch) then switch over. Some days ill have full streams here, others ill have full streams there.” He added

Mizkif kept things straightforward by declaring “Twitch is done and not just on Twitch” shortly after the xQc agreement was made public. OTK is one of the largest organizations in the live streaming market, and all of the broadcasters with the organization make that platform their home, even though he doesn’t pull the numbers xQc does.

MoistCr1TiCal took a jibe at Twitch by criticizing their contract base with streamers. He mocked the Streaming giant by saying,
“Holy shit…don’t worry though, twitch is offering other top streamers a free ice cream cone once a month to keep them exclusive on their platform.”

5 years ago, we let @xQc stay at our L.A. apartment when he needed a place to stay. The desk was cardboard boxes we stacked on top of each other. He slept on an air mattress right there.Today he signed a $100 million deal with @KickStreaming.Unreal. pic.twitter.com/Nd7qOosb3H— Jonathan Larsson (@Reinforce) June 16, 2023

This changes all the dynamics for Kick as it’s still in its initial stages of growth as a full-fledged streaming platform. It would be interesting to see where this will be headed. The platform has already signed some major streamers and is getting ready to challenge Amazon-owned Twitch.
