Asmongold, who is a content creator on many platforms like YouTube, Twitch etc, said that if Twitch looks to go ahead with their controversial branded deals update, he will sign a non-exclusive deal with another platform.
The American streamer, who is also known as Zack, talked about the recent announcement of Twitch about the streamers hosting branded and sponsored content on the platform.
As per the new policies of Twitch, the content creators will not be permitted to have no burned-in display, video or audio ads, in the stream on their channels.
"I'm waiting to see what's going to happen. I'm waiting to see how Twitch is going to respond to the pushback. I'm waiting to see how streamers will react. And then I'll make a decision based off of that. But, I will repeat myself again... if this change goes through, I will pursue a non-exclusive partnership with another platform," Asmongold said.
Not just this, the branded logos should also not take up more than 3% of the screen size, the new guidelines of the platform said.
"I will still stream here on Twitch sometimes because I know a lot of you guys like the platform. You might have emotes on here that you like, etcetera. But I will move to another platform. Non-exclusively. Not all the time. At least, not in the beginning," the One True King (OTK) co-founder said.
"The truth is that my main platform is YouTube... and it's not just by a bit, it is by a massive amount! I am infinitely more popular on YouTube, than I am on Twitch. We were up to the point where I was getting two million views a day on YouTube. It's good!" he added.
