Sykkuno has hilarious reason why he doesn\u2019t take sponsored Twitch streams seriously Twitch: SykkunoSykkuno has revealed a hilarious reason why he simply doesn\u2019t take sponsored Twitch streams seriously anymore, admitting he \u201cdoesn\u2019t care\u201d about getting them perfectly right and just does whatever he wants instead. Twitch has built a culture of sponsored broadcasts over the past few years, with big-time streamers often running ad streams for new games & releases for money. One streamer that often airs gameplay previews is Sykkuno, a variety entertainer who\u2019s happy to play anything. That doesn\u2019t mean he dishes out the best takes on these games, however \u2014 the Las Vegas streamer admits he often \u201cdoesn\u2019t try at all\u201d in the paid streams. \u201cI probably shouldn\u2019t say that, right?\u201d he laughed. Despite his own warning, Sykkuno revealed: \u201cHonestly, the way I feel about sponsored streams is the more scuffed, the better. If it then sucks, that\u2019s on them.\u201d Sykkuno\u2019s reasoning for \u201cnot trying\u201d is that the paid part of any of his advertising streams actually just constitutes him testing the game. How he approaches that, if he rates the title poorly, and if any issues arise isn\u2019t really his problem. Funnily enough, this lackadaisical take on sponsored streams has actually spiked offers. When Sykkuno first started out he had to approach some games for early copies, or trial access. Now, devs want a bite of his 4m followers, and even the blas\u00e9 attitude he has too. No matter how big the game, he\u2019ll \u201ctell it how it is.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s good [for my fans] though, because it means you guys know I won\u2019t take some weird-champ sponsor. The way I see it is that they\u2019re sponsoring me to try out their game or something like that. And if it sucks, that\u2019s on them. \u201cIf there\u2019s problems, or I call out problems, they should have spent more money making a better game,\u201d the streamer added. \u201cIf it sucks, that\u2019s on them.\u201d That mentality has led Sykkuno to stop taking his sponsored Twitch streams seriously. At times, he even spends more time fiddling with settings and talking to fans. It\u2019s gotten to the point where he \u201cdoesn\u2019t bother\u201d making sure advertisers are happy, and expects them to come back anyway \u2014 and they do. One classic example came just weeks ago, when he was playing Riders Republic in an #ad stream. He claimed several times the title\u2019s gameplay was \u201cbad,\u201d, before remembering he was being paid and backtracking. \u201cMaybe I shouldn\u2019t say all this!\u201d Sykkuno said after his admission. \u201cIt\u2019s probably bad to say. I might never get sponsored again, but I want to be honest with you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
