NiceWigg defends streamers like NICKMERCS \u201cstealing viewers\u201d in Apex Legends Respawn\/ESL\/FaZe ClanJack \u2018NiceWigg\u2019 Martin has long been a mainstay among the top Apex Legends Twitch streamers, and he\u2019s now had to defend top Warzone streamers like NICKMERCS over accusations that they\u2019ve \u201cstolen viewers\u201d from Apex players. The popular Apex personality may not reach the dizzying heights that the likes of Nick, TimTheTatman and more have in the streaming world, but he\u2019s found a lot of success in Apex Legends. Since many top Warzone streamers started migrating over to Apex, though, we\u2019ve seen viewership for the game fly up as viewers follow them over. Some fans have expressed their disappointment at this, saying that people like Nick are \u201cstealing viewers\u201d from original Apex streamers \u2014 but NiceWigg isn\u2019t having any of it. In the weeks since the mass exodus of Warzone streamers to Apex Legends, NiceWigg and many other Apex streamers have been inundated with questions about it \u2014 but NiceWigg has explained why fans\u2019 criticism is misplaced. After many comments about it, NiceWigg posted a video to TikTok discussing the situation, after several questions asking about it. \u201cSaying that shit\u2019s rude as f**k,\u201d he said, after reading a comment from a viewer accusing Warzone streamers of \u201cstealing\u201d viewers. \u201cYou guys gotta get over that sh*t. I averaged 8,000 viewers on stream yesterday. These mainstream streamers bring in a ton of new people. I\u2019ve never averaged 8k viewers my whole life.\u201d He then hit back at the accusation that Apex were sponsoring the streamers to get them to play, to which NiceWigg responded that \u201cthey are playing the game willfully,\u201d because they like it. Finally, he said that \u201cif you\u2019re salty about people taking viewership, you shouldn\u2019t be streaming in the first place.\u201d Some Apex fans have definitely been a bit incensed over all the viewers these new streamers are getting, but as NiceWigg says, this is a huge positive for both the game and the OG streamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
