Does this mean they don't get paid out for the remainder of their contract? These streamers took a massive brand hit by leaving twitch for so long...

They do get paid out -- I think I read that Ninja receives $30M and can now go back to Twitch.

$30M for not even a full year, and not even a gigantic brand hit (they seemed to retain their fanbase pretty well, and did well with Youtube clips) sounds like a great deal.
