There's no shortage of controversy in the world of gaming streamers, but when it comes to xQc, controversy is always on the agenda. A recent conflict with his critics has brought renewed attention to his gambling and streaming habits.
Streamer under attack
Felix Lengyel, better known as xQc, has been accused of taking an opportunistic approach to his popularity. His critics have spoken out about his dealings with crypto gambling platforms and gambling streaming, accusing him of putting his followers at risk purely for personal gain.
Reply to Criticism
xQc decided to defend himself, calling his detractors “losers” who seek their own benefit under the guise of high moral ground. He is convinced that this is not so much a matter of morality as of the desire to get something material for his words.
The fight against Contracts and the Gambling Industry
While xQc has long tried to convince the public of his genuine passion for gambling, his recent deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars with gambling platforms have raised questions about his real motives. He and his colleague Trainwrecks, although they promote responsible gaming, are getting closer to the gambling industry.
The way forward
The controversy surrounding xQc continues, but his streams and popularity remain at their peak. Meanwhile, Kick co-chairman Bijan Teherani confirmed that Twitch could be an acquisition target, adding a new layer of complexity to an already tense situation.
