AUSTIN, TEXAS: Twitch streamer and YouTuber Dennis 'Cloakzy' recently disclosed that Microsoft's now-shut down streaming network, Mixer, offered him a lucrative seven million dollar deal years ago. Tyler 'Ninja', streamer and YouTuber seemed surprised after finding out.
On Timothy aka TimTheTatman's live, content creator Cloakzy revealed this information when discussing the benefits of streaming on Kick with Ninja while opening Counter-Strike: Global Offensive crates.
'Oh my god'
Over the last few days, the three have been collaborating on unlocking crates worth an incredible amount, and their objective on their most recent stream was to open crates worth $10,000. Cloakzy indicated his desire to expose the specifics of his contract to Ninja.
TimTheTatman exited the room and declared that he no longer cared. He said, "F**k it, I'll say the deal. I'm in." Ninja was alarmed because they were discussing a possible move to Kick, and he attempted to prevent Cloakzy from spilling the beans. "Stop, stop, stop," Ninja shouted.
Cloakzy, however, was referring to a deal from years ago. He stated, "Mixer brought me a deal worth 7 million dollars." Ninja, who allegedly received an enormous amount of money to join Mixer, was still trying not to let his fellow streamer say too much. Ninja said to Cloakzy, "Easy, easy, easy, oh my god."
Cloakzy, on the other hand, had no intention of hiding information and explained why he refused to sign with Microsft's platform, citing his viewers' sub streaks as a primary factor for his refusal, "And I said no to it because I care about every single person that has subbed to me and their sub streak. That's what I cared about. I said no to seven million dollars. That would have been double what I made ten years on Twitch. And I cared about everyone's sub streaks so I said no to it."
Kick gains popularity amid $100 million deal
With many streamers leaving Twitch in favor of alternate sites, the discussion of switching to Kick has erupted among the streaming community. The site has seen a surge in popularity in recent months, particularly after major creators like as xQc were rumored to have made deals worth up to $100 million.
However, a major source of contention for Kick is its ties to Stake, a cryptocurrency gambling service, and the platform was recently accused of boosting Slots streams on its home page. Only after significant outcry did the website's co-founder, Ed Craven, introduce new updates for filtering out gambling streams.
