QUEBEC, CANADA: Streaming sensation xQc, also known as Felix 'xQc' Lengyel, is capturing the attention of millions with his captivating live streams. Rising to fame on Twitch, he has solidified his position as one of the most prominent live streamers on the internet. In a groundbreaking move, xQc recently secured a lucrative deal with Kick, a rival streaming platform, entitling him to a staggering $100 million. With a combined follower count of over 12 million across Twitch and Kick, his fan base continues to grow exponentially.
However, with great fame comes great demand. Some of xQc's devoted viewers have been eagerly requesting more In-Real-Life (IRL) broadcasts from the streaming star. While this might seem like a reasonable request, xQc's response has been nothing short of surprising. In an effort to maintain a balanced streaming experience, xQc has playfully vowed to "purge" his demanding Kick viewers who persistently ask for more IRL content.
'It’s really f*cking bad'
Streaming superstar xQc is known for his entertaining live streams that captivate audiences worldwide. While In-Real-Life (IRL) streams can provide incredibly fun and engaging content, xQc has experienced some challenges with these types of broadcasts. During a recent stream on the Kick platform, he expressed his concerns about IRL streams fostering negative behaviors among viewers, especially at his massive scale of popularity. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive and enjoyable atmosphere when interacting with his community.
“The thing is, with IRLs, it’s a lot of fun, but it fosters the very bad part of everything,” he said during a recent Kick stream. “Especially at this scale, it snowballs really bad. At the end of the day, when it’s time to chill out and talk to the community, and do stuff only between us, it’s really f*cking bad.”
If his fans ask him to stream IRL more often, xQc will purge his chat of these kinds of viewers. “Alright, you know what? This is what I’m gonna do. We’ll try something. You see people like this?” he said, pointing out one chatter’s comment that read, ‘W gaslight.’ “I’ll just permaban all of them.”
“If you want good sh*t and good IRL, the chat is just gonna get purged like crazy,” he continued. “Any absolute dogsh*t people that are like, ‘Oh, do this or do that,’ or, ‘Don’t do this or don’t do that,’ you’re just gonna get permabanned.”
Twitch Star xQc Signed a $100 Million Deal With Kick
The Canadian streamer known by his online alias xQc, secured an extraordinary two-year contract worth approximately $70 million. The deal includes incentives that have the potential to elevate the total value to a staggering $100 million, as confirmed by his agent, Ryan Morrison.
The move is a significant blow to Amazon's site and shows its increasingly strained relationship with content creators. xQc's decision to sign with Kick marks a pivotal moment in the landscape of online entertainment. As one of the most beloved and followed Twitch streamers, his move to a rival platform sends ripples of change throughout the industry. Not only does it strengthen Kick's position as a formidable competitor to Twitch, but it also signals a shift in how content creators approach their partnerships with streaming platforms.
