 Twitch Star assigns a hundred million dollar deal with a rival platform. Deal signed by Felix Lengel, known as XQC, matches traditional athlete contrasts, and this is another sign of Twitch's tense relationship with its top streamers. He got a kick deal for a hundred million dollars. Damn. That's a lot of money. So does kick feel like they can profit beyond that figure by having them with advertising, etc? Wait, is this non-exclusive? I think TUS shit, there's like a bunch of things to do. And it's pretty massive. Oh, that's not hitting me up. Chat. The trailer? All right, chat. Guys, I'm gonna keep it a buck. Okay, chat. Guys, I'm... Guys, listen. That chat, the trailer was pretty much done in like half a day, pretty much. I'm probably gonna use something fun, something good for like a sub-transfer or whatnot. Um, I think, overall, yeah, there's gonna be some crazy transfers. Okay, guys, I guess I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to spoil it. I think the trailer coming up are fucking insane. I really, really enjoy that it's non-exclusive overall. So I can do whatever I want. I can go around and just kind of have fun and diversify and just kind of win you. Try hard, seven. Try hard. I think it's a massive deal because at the same time... Go to X's chat on kick. kick.com.excuse me. There's another thing I want to do also. And that's just kind of how it goes. Yeah, I've been working with Eddie and the people at kick. Emoji anger. I'm a bunch of things. Chat, it's gonna be hard to unwrap it like all at once. I think that. Okay, but it's a bunch of cool shit, such as in the past, it's been difficult to allocate time to do things that we want to do. Like, I've tried a show before. I've talked about podcast and stuff like that. There's a bunch of things that I really, really want to do. And I can't justify putting a lot of time because the way that it is, is that overall... Look, I'm gonna keep it real. If they're giving you a hundred million dollars and it is non-exclusive, there is no way in the hell anybody should expect an explanation, dude. Like, hey, you'd have to be a complete moron. Okay, now there might be some other stuff as a part of that. But there's like literally a zero percent chance that anybody who's like, hey, here's a hundred million dollars and you're not exclusive, you can do whatever you want. Who's gonna say no to that? A hundred million, but you need to gamble 50 million on that. And that gives me like, uh, endless opportunities to, um... Good to know you're alive. To do literally anything that I want and just... New York Times says $70 million contract with incentives that could push the total... Oh, oh, oh! It's only 70 million? What the hell? What a sell-out. I think there are things that I really, really want to do that I can do now because of, um, funding and because of time that I can justify it. And it's... Also, I get people with concerns. Okay, I'm not gonna chat. I'm gonna chat like always. People say, gamble this, gamble that. I don't give a fuck. If this was about like, gambling shit, it would have been a different story. I'm thinking I'm chilling and this is nothing different. We're gonna then gamble in the wild. If I want to do it, I can. If I want to do that, there's gonna be opportunities to, but it's just not like that. It was never part of the conversation from beginning to end. It just wasn't. Dude, I want to forget... I'm putting down the line. These are things I want to do for sure. Okay. But like, product and things I want to do, but Ova, it's just kind of how it is. For most viewers, it'll feel like nothing, to be honest, because it's gonna be split time and people don't have like fucking 20 hours to watch every day. Overall, believe it or not, I thought dude, at my age, dude, and the rest was so long, I generally thought I was gonna slow down. Okay. But I know you are going to donor wall this. I'm biting on like, way more than I can chew pretty much. I'm going like pretty much like all in. I'm like doubling down pretty much. That is gonna be pretty much like, like 11 hours, something like that. Like normal. And I could just gonna sit down in the cavern and just do it all day. You know? And it's gonna be, it's just gonna be split time. He said it is age. This is not in the high. He's like early 30s. It's not in the high. Actually, he's young. Actually, he's like 26 or something, 25. So there are days it'll be like, only Twitch. So there's gonna be only, only kick. And there's gonna be like... 27, 27. It's gonna be like 4-6. It's gonna be like 3-8. I've heard rumors for a couple weeks now that there's like some big signings on the way for kick. Here's the truth. Like I would not change platforms without a platform deal. And also some people are saying this is a big blow for Twitch. It's, it is, but it's, it's not. It's a non-exclusive deal, right? It's a PR blow because there's this narrative, especially on Twitter that like Twitch breathes and it's bad. And I mean who, I feel like I'm, this is like a problem. When you're like in the middle on most things and you look at things on a case-by-case basis, instead of like appealing to people who believe both sides, like some people think the side, some people think that side, what actually happens is just both people hate you, right? So like when you, when you look at things in that lens, it ends up not being too good. Bringing like one or two people, I don't think it's a big blow to the platform, especially on a non-exclusive level. I don't think it's an actual big blow to the platform at all. I would even go as far as saying, I think it's good for the platform. What I think will happen is as these other platforms do start to grow a little bit and they start, they start gaining market share, Twitch has to change something. It has to fix something because, because they're having competition. If you look back at like, you know, even like Mixer and when YouTube was in the rat race and all this other stuff, which was like really trying hard, like to push or trying to do stuff. He says to playing field a bit, creativity for the management. Yeah, Ninja and Shrout, like Ninja was the biggest content creator in the world, right? He went to Mixer, didn't really do anything. Shrout went to Mixer, didn't really do anything. And these are two of like the biggest names in like content creation in general. I kind of, actually, I'm kind of lying there. To say that it didn't do anything is not true because it did do something. I think if they didn't sign, they wouldn't even had a chance at all. They had to bring people in. I think the problems that Mixer, like those were, there were issues with the platform of what Mixer was in and of itself that kept it from growing. And it was also wrong place, wrong time. Right now, Twitch has a lot of like negative PR and because Twitch has negative PR, it gives other platforms opportunities to come in and establish, take away market share. LeBron James, two-year, 97.1 million dollar contract with some top paid player in NBA history. Twitter signs, two-year, 100 million dollar year round platform. That's actually insane. That is actually insane. Yes, from Gamba. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's the thing. That's where it comes from. Basically, the way that I wanted to do it is all in on the project and on Kick Only and just do Kick as the massive core and just do it all the way out. Wait, are people angry about this? I think it's kind of absurd to expect somebody to not accept a hundred million dollars for a two-year deal. I'll be honest, even a fraction of that, most people wouldn't say no. You could fly out an entire chat to an arena. Literally, you could. Yeah, that is, that is generational wealth. Like, that is, that is, that's like rich, rich, rich, rich, rich. That's like super rich. The biggest losers are streamers who recently signed contracts because it resets the market. True, actually, Aggie, it does reset the market. It doesn't need the money. Well, it's not about the money. For him, it's about IRL Elo. Like, he's just climbing the Elo chart, you know? And your bank account is the Elo. It's generational wealth. It's so much money that you can now do things that were not even imaginable before. So, it's not about like, oh, I need the money, right? For him, it's, oh, I want to do like a massive event, a big, huge thing. I want to start this huge business and I want to hire a bunch of people. Because a lot of times, stuff like that, it comes down to how you feel. It comes down to like, what you want to do in your life, right? It's about fulfillment. Maybe you're not fulfilled anymore just streaming. Maybe you're not fulfilled anymore doing whatever you're doing. And then you take money and you want to invest it into something else to start something new.
