SummT1G, Dakotaz, and JoshOG Extended Twitch Exclusivity Deals
Twitch streamers SummT1G, Dakotaz, and JoshOG have signed an extension to their relationships with Twitch. The news of this Twitch exclusivity deal will mean these players and their substantial chunk of followers will be staying on the platform for a few more years! Twitch has faced more competition recently, with Mixer acquiring some streamers. However, deals like this will keep Twitch as the premier spot for competitive gaming and Esports streaming.
Until recently, Twitch has something close to a monopoly on live video game streaming. They carried huge audiences, with competitors not offering anything of note. More recently, Mixer has gotten into the market after acquiring Ninja to stream there permanently. YouTube occasionally buffs up its live streaming facilities but remains a platform for pre-recorded content primarily. While some debated the future of Twitch, deals like this go a long way to disprove that fans will be moving on any time soon. This continued deal will make sure that Twitch remains the place to go for streamers and their content.
Twitch Exclusivity Deals – SummT1G, Dakotaz, & JoshOG
The Twitch exclusivity deals signed represent more than 10 million followers of Twitch. On a platform where every subscription is actually worth cash for content creators, these numbers mean a lot more than just followers on social media or YouTube. These are the recent announcements of Twitch exclusivity deals:
