xQc hits back at MatPat over \u201clies\u201d and criticism of Twitch streamers Twitch: xQcOW \/ YouTube: The Game TheoristsStreamer xQc responded to MatPat after the YouTuber criticized Twitch and its creators during his latest Game Theory episode. Matthew \u2018MatPat\u2019 Patrick took Twitch to task during his February 2022 Game Theory episode when he told the Amazon-owned platform and its streamers such as Pokimane to \u201cgrow up.\u201d The YouTuber argued that the site\u2019s react meta and how it handles DMCA claims is \u201cirresponsible.\u201d Popular streamer Felix \u2018xQc\u2018 Lengyel reacted to the video essay during his live broadcast and called out the theorist for spreading \u201cmisinformation\u201d and \u201clies.\u201d The former Overwatch pro claimed that the 32-year-old\u2019s take on Twitch was a \u201cdisaster\u201d due to lack of research. xQc hits back at MatPat\u2019s Game Theory on Twitch For his latest Game Theory, MatPat called out Twitch for not regulating its content like YouTube. The theorist claimed that the infamous hot tub and reaction metas were the results of streamers being desperate to fill their contracts which required them to go live for an insane amount of hours. According to xQc, this isn\u2019t accurate. \u201cThat\u2019s not even true,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Twitch Partner agreement doesn\u2019t have any hours requirement in them. The Twitch Partner or affiliate program does NOT have any required amount of streaming. What are you talking about?\u201d The Twitch star also took issue with MatPat using Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys and Hasan \u2018HasanAbi\u2019 Piker as examples of channels being banned for copyright infringement. \u201cMaster Chef NEVER got DMCA\u2019d. You can still watch it. Nobody ever got DMCA\u2019d for any of them. The DMCA Hasan got was fake. It was literally fake,\u201d he said. \u201cDisguised Toast did not get banned. That is not true. He wasn\u2019t banned, he wasn\u2019t even suspended. He was put on a two-day cooldown because of a live DMCA. This is literally not true. I\u2019m not malding, correcting misinformation and literal lies is not malding.\u201d When the Game Theory host argued that Twitch needs to look out for its creators like YouTube does, Lengyel exclaimed, \u201cSays a f**king YouTuber. HOLY F**K. What a disingenuous fu**king comparison. I don\u2019t want to shit on the guy, the only problem is, for a guy whose content is theories and research about games, the lack of research in a lot of these Twitch examples was a f**king disaster. Quick research could have disproven more than half of his examples or the claims he made.\u201d The Twitch star told his viewers that he feels many YouTubers have a warped perspective on the Amazon-owned platform. \u201cI think a lot of YouTubers whenever they have takes on Twitch streamers, they are projecting their own survival instincts they have on YouTube with their own content,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause with YouTube, if you don\u2019t make enough videos you can fall off and disappear. They are always on edge about disappearing and losing viewers. I don\u2019t have any survival instinct. I watched TV shows because I wanted to, not because I needed to.\u201d Lengyel also took issue with MatPat saying that Twitch should be paying for TV show licenses for streamers to watch\u201d\u201dThey already have that, it\u2019s Amazon Prime. It\u2019s not very refined. It\u2019s not worldwide. It shows the future though and we will get there. MatPat doesn\u2019t understand that we already have this and it sucks! In certain regions, it\u2019s blocked, and that alienates a portion of your live viewers.\u201d Although xQc had major issues with the episode, he still called it a \u201cgood\u201d watch and told his fans that he didn\u2019t want to be too harsh on the popular theorist, though he believes that most of the argument gets the streaming platform wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
