Angry xQc responds to allegations of not paying for Twitch emotes xQc Instagram \/ xQcOW TwitchOverwatch pro turned Twitch streamer, Felix \u2018xQc\u2018 Lengyel was accused of not paying creators for their emotes but has now explained his side of the story. Not paying your artists for emotes can quickly lead to controversy, as xQc found out after a fan posted a clip to Livestream Fails alleging the streamer wasn\u2019t paying his artists for emotes. The title of the thread reads \u2018xQc added new Twitch emotes without paying creators after promising to do so on stream\u2018 and says xQc promised to pay his artist after uploading emotes. Did xQc refuse to pay an artist? In the initial thread, many fans came to the defense of xQc by saying the clip shown was taken out of context and the artist who created xqcJoy, one of xQc\u2019s emotes, responded saying he never expected to be paid in the first place. \u201cIt already made my day that he added it but won\u2019t say no to free money,\u201d Reddit user mrmarvmarvv wrote. A user responded and said he earned the money, which is something the creator said he never thought of that way. A viewer tipped off xQc about the LSF post and he had a response to it by saying the emote he uploaded was sitting in his subreddit from months ago and wasn\u2019t part of a contest. \u201cThe emotes that are on the thread are already posted from a while back,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt was intended for us to use them in the first place.\u201d He argues the original post was just created to fit a narrative and blast xQc, despite not knowing the complete context. In the end, it seems like a no harm no foul type situation but xQc does raise a fair point about how easy it is to take information out of context based on a Twitch clip. This incident seems to clear xQc of any wrongdoing but for those just seeing the initial clip, it\u2019s easy to see how someone would think otherwise. xQc removed the emote In light of the controversy, xQc has taken down the emote. While his fans and himself maintain it was a misunderstanding, in an effort to avoid further issues, the decision to remove it has been made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
