Myth explains why he doesn\u2019t want to leave Twitch for another platform Twitch: MythAli \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani is one of Twitch\u2019s biggest names, and if he could have it his way, he\u2019d remain there forever, telling the OfflineTV podcast that he would need a big offer to think about moving to Mixer, YouTube, Facebook, or elsewhere. Twitch\u2019s hold on the streaming industry has become progressively weaker over the past year. Since Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins made the jump to Mixer in 2019, plenty of other streamers have jumped platforms in search of the best possible offers. However, one streamer fast-becoming Twitch\u2019s biggest ally is Myth. For him, the streaming platform is the site that started it all, and the streamer has pledged his allegiance to the service \u2014 for now \u2014 on the OfflineTV podcast. \u201cI really like Twitch,\u201d he said. \u201cTwitch is like my fucking home man. I grew up in middle school watching streams every day before breakfast, before going out to school. It was like seventh, eighth grade. \u201cI remember watching Black Ops 2 streams, on release, like religiously. So much of me is emotionally invested into Twitch that it\u2019d be hard to leave.\u201d With that kind of bond with a service, it can be awfully hard to pick up sticks and move on, especially when you have a dedicated fanbase that tunes into every single one of your broadcasts. To Myth, it\u2019s bigger than money. Myth\u2019s comments come as the streaming war heats up again in 2020. Last week, Twitch made two big moves by securing Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys and \u2018Dr Disrespect\u2019 for the coming years, locking them away from their competitors. However, as Facebook streamer Jeremy \u2018Disguised Toast\u2019 Wang mentioned, the Amazon-owned streaming service only has a finite amount of money to hand out to top streamers they want exclusivity over. \u201c[Twitch] only have so much money unless they want to hit up papa Bezos,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re going to have to decide who to keep\u2026or [whether they can\u2019t] match Microsoft, Google, or Facebook.\u201d For mobile readers, the related segment begins at 21:17. The TSM-affiliated streamer did let loose that he has some \u201cmoney moves\u201d in mind, with the vague response only adding fuel to the flames. However, he didn\u2019t go deep into where he could be heading. By all accounts, given his love for Twitch, he could stay. However, if the right deal comes along, Myth might side with the money to make sure he can keep providing the same quality content for fans without burning out. Only time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
