The battle rages on between Twitch and YouTube Gaming as the two platforms continue their feud. Recently, Twitch lost two major streamers to YouTube Gaming that must have hurt them. With DrLupo and TimTheTatman jumping ship, another top-rated streamer, Felix ‘xQc’ Lenglyhas, revealed his exclusive deal with the platform.

The famous streamer pulls in millions of views each year, which definitely makes him of the marquee names. He clarified that he has signed an exclusive deal a long time ago and won’t make the jump anytime soon.
” Dude, I’ve been on a custom deal for a long time now. Nobody made a big deal out of it, so I didn’t say anything either like why bother or anything. It wasn’t big like a uh, yeah with these days things always change, but things don’t change here. Today, I announce, I’m staying with Twitch and I’m here for a long time. Gaming warlord eternal on Twitch.”
