The streaming platform wars may be heating up in a big way. A recent tweet by Kick cofounder Ed Craven<\/a> suggests the Twitch rival will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to dethrone its rival. The ties Kick and Craven share with online gaming platform Stake.com will help.<\/p>\n

After signing million-dollar deals with streamers like xQc and Amouranth, it seems that Kick plans to continue opening its wallet. This is something the site’s cofounder himself has revealed through Twitter, before it became X, where he assures that “the best days of streaming are yet to come.”<\/p>\n

Craven apparently has big plans in the works to onboard more streaming talent at almost any cost. In the face of increasing global regulations<\/a>, a tempered approach is advised.<\/p>\n

A New Streaming Crown<\/h2>\n

Craven has been optimistic about Kick and its ability to knock Twitch, hamster races<\/a> and all, off its pedestal. However, some users don’t believe that things are going to turn out so well for the site.<\/p>\n

One, despite not being asked for his opinion, recently asserted that it was a mistake to sign xQc on a multimillion-dollar deal, because he posted much more content on Twitch. To this, Craven, whose Stake.com is looking at purchasing Rush Street Interactive<\/a>, hinted at big changes coming to the platform.<\/p>\n

Signing xQc for $100 mil was a huge mistake he steams more on twitch than he does on kick<\/p>\n

If I was you I\u2019d try to find a loophole in the contract to void it asap <\/p>\n

Also start signing smaller\/mid size streamers, better to sign 100 steamers for $1 mil each than 1 for $100 mil<\/p>\n
