On March 3, 2023, Twitch star Chance "Sodapoppin" dedicated a livestream to playing Elden Ring with the randomizer mod. While playing the FromSoftware title, a viewer asked him if he would move to Kick if he was offered a multi-million dollar contract.
In response, the streamer stated that he would definitely jump ship to the Trainwreckstv-backed platform if he were offered such a deal. He added that he would fulfill his contractual obligations and then return to livestreaming on Twitch.
Sodapoppin said:
"I mean, f**k, man! If I got one deal like that, I would be done."
Sodapoppin speculates that Kick will "go down" like Mixer
Sodapoppin was exploring the Liurnia of the Lakes zone in Elden Ring when he received a donation from a viewer, who asked him if he would switch to Kick if the platform offered him a multi-million dollar contract. They inquired:
"Hey, Soda. Question. Considering, you considered switching to Mixer, at one point. If Kick offered you a similar deal for $3 to $5 million, would you take it and switch platforms?"
After a brief pause, the One True King (OTK) co-owner stated that if he ever gets such a deal, he would accept it and be "done." He added that he would fulfill the contract's obligations and return to Twitch:
"I would fulfill my two years and come back... nothing matters anymore. Maybe I'd like that."

The streamer then compared Kick to Mixer and predicted that the former would "go down" just like the latter:
"I'll be honest. You know what? I probably would f**king take a million-dollar contract, because, just like Mixer, I feel like the website's going to go down. And they'll f**king fulfill their contracts and I'll be right back on Twitch. Just like f**king Mixer."
Fans react to the streamer's thoughts on taking the million-dollar contract
Sodapoppin's comments on accepting a million-dollar Kick contract garnered quite a lot of attention on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit.
According to Redditor u/FowD8, if Kick ends up dissolving like Mixer, the payout would be in "no way" similar to the Microsoft-owned platform:
One community member claimed that Kick will be "dead" in a year:
