xQc Condemns Twitch for “Undervaluation”Prior to Kick Deal

Expressing his frustration, xQc stated, “Everybody I worked with undervalued me, strung me along and trolled me for almost a f*cking decade.” He continued to elaborate on his feelings, emphasizing that he was misled by those at Twitch, who suggested he should “double down and work harder,” suggesting that he deserved less compensation than he was worth.

Seeking a broader purpose beyond personal streaming, xQc explained, “I wanted to do something else. I wanted to have another vision, something more than just my own stream. [Something like] a platform. If I own a part of it… and I’m part of something we built, I achieve a goal that I can’t just achieve streaming by myself.”

xQc’s remarks surfaced amid an ongoing discussion about the future of Kick. This conversation intensified when fellow streamers Adin Ross and YourRage announced their departures from Kick to return to Twitch.

Throughout this tumultuous period, xQc has remained a staunch advocate of Kick, even labeling Ross and YourRage as “unprofessional” for their platform-switching. Tensions flared as xQc engaged in a heated exchange with YourRage regarding his exit.

In his defense of Kick, xQc asserted that the platform’s viewership has “never been better” since the departures of Ross and YourRage, further complicating the ongoing streaming wars as 2023 draws to a close.
