After viewing some clips featuring Imane "Pokimane," xQc came across a clip of Ludwig stating the reason behind him not selling out and accepting gambling deals.

The French-Canadian reacted to the YouTube Gaming star's take by proposing a theory:

"Guys, I did some mental investigation about this, okay? Ludwig says he doesn't have a price. Then it hit me. Then it hit me."

His "mental investigation" continued:

"It's because Ludwig is a YouTuber. And YouTube doesn't allow any events, even a little bit."

The 26-year-old gamer then mentioned that Ludwig had "sold out to YouTube." He believed that this was the main reason behind Ludwig not accepting gambling sponsorships. Felix added:

"Therefore, he literally, contractually cannot in any way, shape, or form do it. Now, now I got it. Now it just kind of clicked."
