xQc is among the latest to step over to Kick

Earlier this month, Twitch announced a number of regulation changes for streamers. The proposed changes would affect the streaming of sponsored content as well as an array of other aspects. Streamers and fans alike couldn’t hold their shock and an uproar over the cyber world soon ensued. The backlash made Twitch go back on its words and revoke a few changes that were announced. However, many other stringent rules were not removed and are scheduled to be implemented soon.

Canadian streamer xQc is among the latest content creators who have moved to Kick as a protest against Twitch’s sponsored content policies. The professional Overwatch player had been openly vocal against the restrictive new policies of Twitch and fans were almost sure such a decision was coming.
