Although the Twitch star had revealed at the end of last year that he would not be renewing his collaboration with Twitch, he also did mention that he would be instead streaming on every possible platform that allows streaming. However, with the new Terms of Services (TOS) of Twitch banning multi-casting on “Twitch-like” platforms, the Fortnite streamer hinted at leaving the former for good.

After Twitch announced last year that the platform would allow non-partners to multi-cast, they suddenly backtracked on their steps and recently announced multiple policy changes including new regulations on branded content as well as new TOS. While backlash from streamers like MrBeast and Ludwig made the company revoke their proposed changes on sponsored content, the TOS looked to provide the best experience to the community.

Ninja also mentions that the new changes would not only hurt the content creators on Twitch but would also negatively impact the platform itself. The blue-haired streamer also mentioned that he viewed exclusive deals between a streamer and Twitch to be understandable for such restrictions, but a carpet ban is simply unacceptable.
