Will Ninja renew his Twitch contract? Streamer's rocky relationship with purple platform explored

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Richard Tyler Blevins, better known as Ninja, took to Twitter to provide an update on his current status on Twitch. In the recent update, he shared about his rocky relationship with Twitch. Additionally, he addressed his Twitch contract, offering clarity on various unanswered questions that had arisen within his community and many other streamers.

Ninja enjoys an impressive following of 12 million on Instagram and over 6.5 million on Twitter. His recent tweet regarding the Twitch update caused some noise online.

‘We will see’

In the tweet, Ninja clarified that despite his concerns, he will continue streaming on Twitch for the time being. He explained that he has a contractual obligation with the platform that was signed prior to the implementation of the new guidelines.

He said, “For the record I have a couple of streams scheduled on Twitch, due to a contract I signed previous to the new TOS. Those streams will continue to go live until the contract ends and the State Farm show ends.” When fellow streamer Jake Lucky asked, “You leaving Twitch once the contract ends?” Ninja replied, “We will see.”

In response to his tweet, a user said, “So like why not just not do it? You don’t need the money at this point, I would just say, nah bye twitch." Another user said, “Wait you have a contract of sorts with twitch? Or with the State Farm thing?” Someone else chimed in, “Wouldn't changing of the ToS make your contract void since they are changing the terms? Isn't that something your legal team can fight for you?”

Did Ninja leave Twitch?

Ninja recently made the decision to make the switch from Twitch following a strong disagreement with the platform's updated guidelines on branded content. Twitch updated the content guidelines and reversed some of its branded sponsorship policies. Amidst the controversies regarding his contract with Twitch, he started streaming on Kick. He was not the only streamer who disagreed with the updated guidelines, as several others also ditched Twitch due to concerns that the new guidelines may restrict their ability to grow and monetize their content.
