Sure is sudden, but not too surprising given majority of popular streamers still uses Twitch.
Welp, I guess nothing good can last. It was actually becoming a good alternative to Twitch, too. So when can we rip the Mixer app and tab out of the Xbox One software?
I doubt it. It will probably end up going to court I am sure. Hell ninja and the other probably can sue also for losses since they moved from their successful twitch streaming.I wonder if Microsoft is still on the hook for the $30 million they promised Samurai or Pirate or whatever that idiot's name is.
Probably because its integration into Xbox was so damned obnoxious. I also think people who turn on their consoles have their primary intentions of playing games, not watching others play games.Regarding that. MS's streaming service has been front and center on every Xbox around the world and they couldn't make it work?
I imagine Ninja and other popular streamer who gone to Mixer will have their remaining contract paid just to keep off any potential lawsuits.I doubt it.

Buying out the remaining of Ninja $30 million contract, that is a nice pay day if true. Not a big fan of Ninja but damn I am envious of his position.So about what Ninja and Shroud were paid...

Obviously take that information with a grain of salt. I really dislike that little blue haired child, too. Shrouds cool, haha.

I am sure MS can take the hit to avoid the lawsuits. Damn nice payday for them if true. They probably can go back to twitch and regain most their viewer base.Buying out the remaining of Ninja $30 million contract, that is a nice pay day if true.

Thots never made the switch.Regarding that. MS's streaming service has been front and center on every Xbox around the world and they couldn't make it work?
That's because the TOS on Mixer was more strict and the rules were actually enforced equally so that gaming actually remained the focus of a game streaming site. Thots made a big stink about that years ago. That's going to change with Facebook. If you can stomach it, just go take a peek at the front page of Facebook Gaming right now and it will be no surprise that they saw 238% growth last year.Thots never made the switch.
What do you mean by this? I see nothing significant between the front page of Facebook Gaming and Twitch.If you can stomach it, just go take a peek at the front page of Facebook Gaming right now and it will be no surprise that they saw 238% growth last year.
A deal like this isn't made in hours.This broke Sunday from the only black person to work at Mixer during a 2 year period: https://twitter.com/MilanKLee/status/1274830702538821632
I believe decision making upper management got a taste of bad PR as result of alleged racism, combined with their struggles and lower dent into Twitch's audience than hoped, and decided to pull the plug as it was the 'best business decision.'
I'm following the story and hope he provides an update after a meeting with Phil Spencer that's happening today.

And nothing of value is lost...
And Youtube.Competition lost. Its now just Amazon (Twitch) and Facebook.
And Youtube.
And I forgot about Discord entering the streaming scene.And Steam.
I having been watching Facebook live streams for quite awhile now ... basically, watching my wife sitting at her desk playing Farm Heroes™Mixer was ok and all. But what is Facebook gaming? I've read serveral of these articles and NO ONE has asked this question. Am I the only one who has never heard of it?
Is it clear that N and S knew about Mixers future move to FB Gaming when they signed their contracts?Wait you mean just having Ninja and Shroud didnt save them? Dummies.
Most likely not. I’m guessing that throwing the last few millions of their budget at a few top streamers from Twitch was Mixer’s last ditch effort to stay alive. Unfortunately, it failed.Is it clear that N and S knew about Mixers future move to FB Gaming when they signed their contracts?

Mixer was under the impression that the streamers made the streaming platform popular, when in reality its the streaming platform that made the streamers popular. Along with the games they played.
All the streamers that moved to Mixer had only a small fraction of viewers that they did on Twitch. Most of their community didn't follow them because it was the platform they liked more and not the streamer. I remember seeing Shroud and Ninja only have like 20-25% of the viewers they had on Twitch when streaming on Mixer.
