Twitch star Félix “xQc” Lengyel has signed a $100 million deal with rival platform Kick.
Lengyel’s two-year deal with Kick is for about $70 million, with incentives making up the rest.
The deal isn’t exclusive — Lengyel says he will still be streaming on Twitch, though “not nearly as often” as before he signed this deal.
Meanwhile, Twitch walked back unpopular changes this month and introduced a new 70/30 split revenue sharing program as other platforms have begun to more aggressively court streamers.
