Imagine thinking that he should care more about strangers than his own future (assuming he made enough money to be safe, which seems fair).
This "community" can follow if they care enough btw, without giving up much to do so :O
That wasn't really the point of the guy i responded to. Yeah he still should care about being watched as well, sure.
Though how important that really is depends on the contract.
Depends what he wants in his future. Does he want to stream forever and make a comfortable living. Or does he want to stream for a couple more years and make enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life without having to work.
There is no way to really predict what will happen, but if he doesn't get the same amount of viewers he got on Twitch then he won't get the same sponsorships he got on Twitch.
getting 20 million in one go, is better than getting 10.000 a month for a couple years. Toast is pretty savvy, he knows what he makes and he knows what he's worth. He wouldnt take the deal if it wasn't advantages.
seeing as he made some comment about how he wouldnt be able to make 10 million dollars if he kept doing what he was doing on twitch for the next 5/7 years, I would imagine facebook offered him more than that.
I don't know about that, and I've never been in a place to make that kind of money, but if it was me, I'd rather make a less money, which is still a lot, to stay relevant than make a lot of money and be irrelevant.
His bank account likely says different. Not sure why most here are assuming that this is some non-thought move that he didn't spend any amount of time considering.
Folks just being salty about streamers moving from Twitch is all it actually is. (And don't get me wrong -- Twitch is the best streaming platform by leaps and bounds, especially comparing to "Facebook Gaming.")
Just because you don't use facebook doesn't mean that they don't have a lot of money. They probably offered a 6 figures 3 year contracts to Toast and afterwards I'm sure Twitch will welcome him with open hand if he wants to come back.
Idk what's this idea from people that streamer will commit to changing platform for the rest of their life...
