The Real Reason xQc Turned Down $1 Million
By CODY D. CAMPBELL
As one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, xQc reportedly earned nearly $8.5 million between August 2019 and October 2021 in bits and subs alone. It's obvious that the performer isn't exactly hurting for money, so it might not be all that surprising to hear that he can afford to turn down a million dollar contract — but why would he?
xQc brought up the sponsorship in question during a Just Chatting livestream on March 18, while talking with Mizkif — who recently turned down a $10 million offer himself. Pausing the stream, xQc said, “I was offered half a million, or a million, to play mobile games for a certain amount of hours. And what happened? I said no.”
The Twitch sensation went on to tell Mizkif that he doesn’t like playing mobile games. Although that might seem like a poor reason to turn down a big payday, his decision makes a lot of sense, as his viewers likely wouldn't want to stick around to watch him play games that he doesn't enjoy playing.
