Amazon&rsquo;s service has signed &ldquo;multi-year&rdquo; deals with Dakotaz (aka Brett Hoffman), JoshOG (Josh Beaver) and Summit1G (Jaryd Lazar) to make sure they livestream exclusively on the platform. Loaded, the management agency that represents the trio, didn&rsquo;t say how much money was involved.<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn&rsquo;t be surprising if Twitch paid a tidy sum, however. Combined, the three streamers have over 11 million followers. While some of those are likely shared, it&rsquo;s still true that Twitch risked losing a significant number of viewers if any of these streamers jumped ship for rivals like Facebook, Mixer or YouTube.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"o-article_block pb-15 pb-5@m- mt-n35 mt-n25@m mt-n15@s\">\n<div class=\"grid@tl+\">\n<div class=\"full-width@tp- grid@tl+__cell col-8-of-12@tl+\">\n<div class=\"article-text c-gray-1 no-review\">\n<p>It&rsquo;s also something of a coup for Loaded. The agency represents many of the biggest streamers regardless of platform, including Mixer converts like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-08-01-ninja-twitch-mixer-fortnite.html\">Ninja<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-10-24-shroud-twitch-mixer-ninja.html\">Shroud<\/a>&nbsp;as well as Twitch mainstays like AnneMunition and TimTheTatman. Livestreamed gaming is clearly a hot business, and management teams like this may determine how well broadcasters succeed &mdash; not to mention fuel the ongoing battle between internet giants who see livestreaming as their next frontier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-12-11-twitch-drlupo-lirik-timthetatman-streaming-contract-loaded-deal.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-12-11-twitch-drlupo-lirik-timthetatman-streaming-contract-loaded-deal.html<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Jon Fingas<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Jon Fingas<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn&rsquo;t want to lose its biggest names to rival services.
