I would sign the f*ck out of that: Sodapoppin regrets declining deal with Mixer
Chance ‘sodapoppin’ Morris has been a long-time Twitch streamer, starting out in 2012 streaming the game World of Warcraft. Over the years, he has built one of the most loyal and dedicated fan communities found on the platform.
In a recent stream on his roommate Nick ‘nmplol’ Polom’s channel, he has revealed that he still regrets not signing an exclusivity deal which he had received from the now defunct streaming platform, Mixer.
Sodapoppin regrets passing on deal worth millions
Mixer was a streaming platform launched in 2016 with funding from Microsoft, primed to become the main competitor to the Amazon-owned Twitch. It even signed Ninja to stream on their platform exclusively with a contract rumoured to be worth $20-30 million. Despite this, Mixer was shut down in 2020, moving all its partnered streamers to Facebook Gaming.
On nmplol’s stream, sodapoppin revealed that even he was offered a deal by the platform when it was functioning. The streamer said-
“I would sign the f*ck out of that ten million deal. I’d sign it, I would leave, they would pay me back. I don’t know the actual number, but it was millions.”
He agreed that he was “an idiot” to not sign the deal, adding “I could have signed it, they would have shut down and gone out of business, they would have had to fulfil their contract and pay me what they owed me, which would have been millions” stating that he would’ve returned to Twitch after receiving the payout.

One can only wonder if the platform still would’ve gone on to shut down if sodapoppin were to sign the deal he mentions. Even though it was a failure, Mixer has shaped the streaming world, as even now many many platforms are offering exclusivity deals to the big names of the industry, the most recent being Fuslie signing exclusively to YouTube Gaming.
