During a recent conversation with a creator, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy called out his platform’s biggest rival. The boss of the Amazon-owned hub said that Kick made a “complete mistake” by prioritizing high-profile streamer signings over “long-term stable” growth.
Clancy’s comments came during an interview with NateGentile7, who invited Twitch’s CEO onto his stream on June 13. On the subject of Kick, Clancy pointed to a strategy he believes to be counterproductive. By promising creators that its streams are paved with gold (and paying them huge lump sums), Kick was able to recruit big names like Amouranth and xQc.
Those signings built buzz for Kick during its early days, but Clancy wondered about the moves Kick wasn’t making as it brought in those high-profile stars. “I think it is a complete mistake to say, ‘The live stream market is fixed, I’m just going to take what the other guy has,...

According to Variety, the series will debut in the U.S. on MGM+'s linear channel before launching globally on Amazon's streaming service. News of plans for Noir first broke last year, but Cage's involvement was only ever rumoured.
"Expanding the Marvel universe with 'Noir'; is a uniquely special opportunity and we are honored to bring this series to our global Prime Video customers," said Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios today.
"The extremely talented Nicolas Cage is an ideal choice for our new superhero and the accomplished producing team with Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, and the incredible team at Sony is dedicated to expanding this franchise in the most authentic way.

The anime fans were eagerly waiting for the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards result. Anime like Jujutsju Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Oshi no Ko, etc., dominated the award ceremony with multiple award wins. Jujutsu Kaisen won the most, with eleven awards. Chainsaw Man season one had a few nominations, but it could not perform as the fans had hoped. Denji and Pochita’s friendship was not strong enough.
But there was a certain category that the fans had hoped for a different result. During the award ceremony, Jujutsu Kaisen won the Best Opening Sequence award. Even though fans voted it to be the best, many believe that it would have been given to Chainsaw Man. Chainsaw Man’s opening theme broke a record that even One Piece failed to achieve.

Chainsaw Man season one had mixed reviews, but the opening theme was liked by all.

In July 2023, the Video Game History Foundation revealed that 87% of classic video games released in the United States are now considered critically endangered. Nearly 9 out of 10 video games ever released in the U.S. are unavailable via modern distribution platforms. How did it come to this?
“It was the Wild West back then,” says Stephen Kick, CEO and co-founder of Nightdive Studios. “[There was] a lack of foresight for saving work… it was lost in a closet or thrown out if a studio was acquired or went bankrupt… it’s just gone.”
Kick co-founded Nightdive Studios in 2012 after trying and failing to download an official copy of one of his favorite games, System Shock 2. Since then, Nightdive has helped rescue many formerly lost games through remasters, re-releases, and remakes.
“It’s always been about treating video games as art,” Kick says. “In order to have that distinction, we have to do a...

Kick just had the biggest weekend of its existence.
It signed xQc–arguably Twitch‘s most prominent streamer in terms of watch time–for a $100 million deal, signed Amouranth for a similar deal reportedly worth $30-40 million, and then scooped up over a million new users between the signings’ June 17 announcements and now.
Whether xQc and Amouranth are fully leaving Twitch isn’t clear. We do know xQc’s Kick contract is a two-year, non-exclusive deal, meaning if he wants to keep streaming on Twitch as well as Kick, he’s free to.
But will he want to? Maybe not.
xQc–Irl name Felix Lengyel–has been openly critical of Twitch’s policies numerous times in the past. And Twitch hasn’t exactly been endearing itself to the creator community as a whole, with its drop from a 70/30 revenue split to a 50/50 split (though it’s walking that back for...

If you want to understand the budding rivalry between Twitch and Kick, there’s only one thing you must know: It’s all about the shoes. After Twitch created some custom kicks for streaming superstar Kai Cenat, upstart competitor Kick sent Cenat a brand-new pair of Nikes.
The subtext behind Kick’s gift is clear: The gambling-oriented streaming platform is looking to curry favor with the top draw in the streaming world. Cenat smashed records on Twitch during a 30-day sub-a-thon earlier this year. By the time the campaign concluded, the Bronx native had collected more than 300,000 concurrent subscriptions. That’s the most active subs a Twitch broadcaster has ever had.
Twitch celebrated Cenat’s accomplishment by sending him a purple pair of shoes emblazoned with his “Kc” insignia and the logo of Amp, the creator group that counts Cenat as one of its members. The recipient of the gift...
