Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel is one of the world\u2019s most recognizable streamers \u2014 but he claims that he wasn\u2019t always making the most profit on Twitch despite his massive following. Although he\u2019s been a major player in the streaming scene for many years now, formerly being a pro Overwatch player, Lengyel skyrocketed to fame earlier this year after scoring a massive deal with Kick, a newer streaming service competing with the likes of Twitch and YouTube. Lengyel signed a whopping $70 million deal with the platform, raising eyebrows all over the net \u2014 even from other major celebrities like Shaq. xQc says he used to be \u201cfurious\u201d at other streamers\u2019 Twitch payouts However, prior to making it big on Kick, xQc claims that he wasn\u2019t making nearly as much as his peers when he was streaming on Twitch. xQc opened up about his past payouts during a Kick stream in late October, admitting that he was \u201cfurious\u201d over what he was being paid compared to his colleagues, specifically name-dropping Pokimane. \u201cI was mad,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m gonna say it how it is. I got a \u2018sweet deal,\u2019 but I was mad forever. I was furious for years, because all my peers at the time were getting massive \u2014 they were all on deals like, people like Pokimane and sh*t, were all on f*ckin\u2019 bricked up contracts with all guarantees, and they had nothing to do.\u201d \u201cNo deliverables, or barely anything,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey had to just kinda sit around and do nothing, with no performance bonus\u2026 and just get a fat f*cking payout. Like, actually fat. \u2026when Twitch was booming at the time, everybody got those deals, where they would just sit around and do nothing, and get massive minimums. And you saw, people stopped trying.\u201d This latest statement from xQc comes in the wake of his disagreement with fellow streamer NICKMERCS, who recently claimed he is required to gamble at times when broadcasting on Kick after inking a deal with the site earlier this month. At the time of writing, Pokimane has yet to respond to xQc\u2019s claims \u2014 but we\u2019ll keep you updated right here on Dexerto if she does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
