Now, some might wonder why xQc is reacting so much to this matter. As he can simply ignore this flow if it is against his morals. But the reason for xQc’s frustration is that he has already been a successful gaming streamer on the purple platform alongside Trainwreckstv. However, the 27-year-old had to quit gambling due to the Twitch ban.

Now, this type of inconsistency on Twitch’s part could force its users to migrate to another live streaming platform. Recently, Adin Ross and Trainwreckstv hinted at a major Twitch streamer joining the new platform called Cut. After this latest controversy on Twitch, xQc could move to Kick. Additionally, this new platform allows streamers to stream gambling games due to its ties to Stake.com.
