Reckful reveals details of \u201c$177 million deal\u201d that changed his life Twitter: Reckful \/ PixabayByron \u2018Reckful\u2019 Bernstein has been very public on Twitch about his struggles with his mental health as well as other life stresses, but on a podcast with Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys, he opened up on some good news from back in 2019 that changed his life, including a $177 million deal with the government. Reckful is one of Twitch\u2019s longest-serving personalities, having shared his life on the platform across the last decade. Since his days as a World of Warcraft professional, Reckful has always looked to bring positive vibes to his audience. While he\u2019s battled depression, he\u2019s also been really open in trying to share his story and change people\u2019s lives by simply streaming to his adoring fans. Now, it\u2019s starting to pay off, with the streamer sharing details about a massive work deal that changed his life, and how he\u2019s looking after himself. Speaking to Pokimane on January 26, Reckful opened up about how he managed to turn his fortunes around with a huge deal with his job. \u201cI got hired by a tech VC conglomerate,\u201d he said. \u201cThey work with the government \u2014 I have to word this really carefully.\u201d \u201cI flew to London a little while ago. I told Mizkif that I was getting this offer but I wasn\u2019t supposed to talk about it, it was all confidential sh*t. I got the offer, went to London, and then I told him that I didn\u2019t get it because they told me not to say yet, but now they are okay with me saying.\u201d He then got into a few specifics, including the eye-popping number that had Pokimane stunned in her seat. \u201cI negotiated a deal for them to prove myself, I got a $177 million deal,\u201d he said. \u201cI did it, and I\u2019m f**king shaking just thinking about it, it was pretty intense.\u201d However, it took him a while to come to terms with how big a deal his negotiation was. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel super proud of myself at the time, but now that I\u2019m on medication and stuff, I feel prouder.\u201d Pokimane called the move \u201cinsane,\u201d looking incredibly proud of Reckful, who has been making moves in and out of Twitch recently. As for what he\u2019s actually doing, he had to stay on the down low, but mentioned that he\u2019s never been in a better financial position. \u201cThey work with governments on non-consumer-facing technology. For example, we are going to do the [FIFA] World Cup in Qatar, but I can\u2019t talk further about it, but it\u2019s really cool sh*t. If people go to the World Cup in Qatar, they\u2019ll see some of the sh*t I did. It\u2019s also allowed him to focus on his true passion, developing his game Everland. \u201cI was really worried because I could barely pay for Everland because I have 28 employees and it was taking way longer than I thought \u2014 it took like a year and a half, and I was going to have to sell percents of my game at a bad evaluation, which I didn\u2019t want to do. \u201cNow I don\u2019t have to sell percents of my game unless someone is going to add value. It was really stressful for a while. I was actually going to go down to $0 on the game release, I was going to have $0 in my bank account.\u201d While he\u2019s shared snippets of it on his stream, progress has really steamed forward with his improved mental health, as well as more money being on the table. \u201cThey know that Everland is my number one focus because it\u2019s like my passion in life, and this thing is secondary. I can\u2019t talk specifics but I\u2019m doing very well, better than I\u2019ve ever done for sure. It\u2019s way more than my stream made in the whole eight years I was streaming, 20 times more.\u201d With everything looking up for the popular Just Chatting streamer, fans of Reckful who are looking forward to the release of Everland shouldn\u2019t have to wait long for it to hit PC and Android.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
