Ninja Makes a Surprising Comeback to Twitch

Fans were left to wonder what his next move might be after he got out of the Mixer deal with a $30M earning from the deal. Twitch witnessed Shroud’s return soon after, and Doc jumped ship to YouTube after his suspicious Twitch ban.

Throughout all of this, there was not much news about Ninja or which platform he might move on to next. Of course, his return was met with a mixed reaction, and what better place to gauge fan reaction than Twitter?

One must not forget the reasons he left the platform in the first place. Twitch allegedly restricted his licensing opportunities and prevented him from growing a franchise outside of gaming.

Jessica Blevins spoke of this in an interview with Business Insider back in October last year. Moreover, she added that the Twitch chatbox on his stream was getting to the point of being ‘toxic’.
