Sykkuno explains how Twitch name blunder pushed him to YouTube deal YouTube: SykkunoSykkuno has left Twitch behind in a big move to YouTube Gaming to start afresh. The big reason? While Twitch\u2019s first offer was \u201cgarbage\u201d, they eventually backflipped and matched YouTube. However, a name blunder ended the debate. Sykkuno has finally joined the YouTube Gaming family in May 2022 after leaving his home on Twitch, where he boasted four million followers, to stream exclusively on their competitor. The move was a shock to some as YouTube continues their big acquisitions in the streaming space. However, for Sykkuno, it was easy because Twitch\u2019s first offer \u201cwas just bad\u201d compared to what was on the table. While the streaming giant ended up coming with \u201ca very, very good offer\u201d, a blunder in an email with the star\u2019s name put the final nail in the coffin. Sykkuno shocked by Twitch backflip on \u201cgarbage\u201d offer Sykkuno told viewers Twitch\u2019s updated offer almost kept him onboard. It was a bit unexpected to the streamer, who was marred by previous controversies of Twitch lowballing other streamers. \u201cI was shocked. Everyone thinks that they have this reputation for giving a garbage offer. And they did give me one, until they upgraded it to a much better one,\u201d he said. The streamer hypothesized Ludwig\u2019s big exit \u2014 and other big name departures like TimTheTatman \u2014 had something to do with Twitch\u2019s insistence to keep him on. \u201cI was almost ready to go \u2018they cared,’\u201d he continued. \u201cI think it\u2019s because maybe Ludwig had left already and, you know, they were kind of afraid.\u201d However, what undid Sykkuno\u2019s relationship with Twitch was a lack of professionalism. He showed an email he got from Twitch in which they misspelled the star\u2019s name as Sukkuno, which he thought was a scam. \u201cThis was an official email I got from Twitch, and when I got it I had to email so many people asking if this was a phishing scam.\u201d Venting his frustrations, the streamer finished up the explanation for his departure from Twitch expressing clear disappointment with the platform\u2019s management.

On an official email. \u201cI mean maybe I have too big an ego or something, but I was shocked. I legit thought I was getting scammed. I was afraid to click this email. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m taking it too much, but they couldn\u2019t even spell my name right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
