Twitch CEO is “excited” for xQc following historic deal with rival platform Kick

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy admits that he is “excited” for xQc following his recent deal with Kick while also explaining why he believes content creators should be able to stream across multiple platforms.

When it comes to content creators and streaming platforms, the rivalry between YouTube and Twitch has long been a driving force between the two companies. With many popular streamers signed to exclusive deals with each outlet, the feud in maintaining the best streamers on their respective platforms has always been a talking point.

However, up and coming streaming platform Kick has flipped this idea of exclusivity on its head, with the likes of Amouranth and now xQc both signing with the platform in non-exclusive capacities, still being allowed to stream elsewhere.

In a recent interview with Jake Lucky, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy sat down to discuss all things Twitch and what the Kick deal with xQc means for the platform and the larger landscape of streaming as a whole.
