It’s common nowadays for streamers to get huge deals, especially after the launch of Twitch competitors like Rumble and Kick. xQc and Amouranth are recent examples of that. But before them, Cloakzy got offered a very lucrative deal too many years ago.

Famous Twitch streamer and Youtuber Dennis “Cloakzy” Lepore reveals that he got a deal from another streaming platform, valuing the double the amount of what he made in his long 10-year career with Twitch. But Cloakxy shockingly rejected that deal. So, what is the reason behind it?

Cloakzy got a deal from Mixer, an American video game live streaming platform, launched by Microsoft in 2016. Although due to a lack of attention to streamer requests and technical issues, this platform was shut down just after four years of its launch. He revealed Mixer wanted to give him $7 million to stream on their platform during a live stream with TimTheTatMan where he was opening Counter-Strike: Global Offensive crates with Ninja and TimTheTatMan.

According to ‘Clokzy’, this $7 million deal was double what he made in his 10-year Twitch career. He said, “Double what I made in Twitch in 10 Years”. Although at first, when Cloakzy was about to say the details of his contract by saying “F*ck it, I’ll say the deal. I’m in“, Ninja thought he was going tell about a potential Kick deal. For that Ninja stopped Cloakzy, “Stop, stop, stop“. This has led to many speculations about a Kick deal for Ninja and Cloakzy.

The Wholesome Reason Behind Rejecting the Lucrative Deal by Cloakzy

As it stands out, Cloakzy rejected the deal solely for the sake of his fans. Because of his subscribers’ sub streaks, he didn’t want to join Mixer. Sub streaks are proof of how many months you are connected to the channel. Upon subscribing for a consecutive month, you make a sub streak. He says,  “And I said no to it because I care about every single person that has subbed to me and their sub streak.”

Cloakzy knew if he would have joined Mixer, his loyal fans would have lost the sub streaks, who were with Cloakzy from the very beginning. He knew the importance of sub-streak. It not only signifies ongoing support but also serves as a milestone within a community.
