In recent news, Twitch has now signed two large streamers ensuring they’re exclusive to Twitch.Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm are the two streamers who have come forward with their Twitch-exclusive deals. Both have disclosed they’ve been given a large deal of money, but exact figures haven’t been shared.Pokimane has a Twitch following of 4,001,554 and often creates Just Chatting streams before jumping into games such asÂFortniteÂandÂCounter-Strike: Global Offensive.ÂShe’s also had one of her TikTok dances turned into aÂFortniteÂemote, which was shown as an example during the TikTokcollaboration between Epic Games and TikTok.She revealed her deal last week in aYouTube video titled “why”.She reveals that multiple platforms offered her “life-changing money for any of us streamers” but opted to take a lesser amount from Twitch due to her preference for its technology, the infrastructure, and its community.Dr Disrespect was featured in aninterview with The Vergewhere he announces that he’s re-signed a Twitch exclusive deal for another two years for “a lot” of money. He explains the experience, “To me, itâs pretty shocking, and itâs very obviously life-changing, rewarding.âRod Breslau, an esports journalist took to Twitter and stated that the deal is “millions of dollars per year,”.
Last year, Dr Disrespect was banned from E3 and Twitch for live-streaming inside a public bathroom. The ban from Twitch only lasted two weeks, which saw a lot of backlash from those thinking the ban wasn’t harsh enough.
