Microsoft sells Mixer to Facebook, partnering with Facebook Gaming for streaming

[WhySoDevious]

So Microsoft are okay with partnering with Nazi/genocide enablers?

 

[Team_Feisar]

 

[Technesis]

Megatonn.

 

[Theorry]

 

[Lobster Roll]

Wow, that's insane. After they spent $20-30 million on Ninja ... they didn't even last a year after that.

 

[Goda]

Holy fuck I'm hyped. Shroud back on Twitch would be amazing

 

[T0kenAussie]

Y'all are missing xcloud x Facebook news which is way wilder

 

[Mecha]

Ninja was signed for millions and now he can return to Twitch? Wow. Also fuck Facebook.

 

[Kyuuji]

Just a reminder that Mark Zuckerberg is a disgusting piece of shit.

 

[mentallyinept]

LOL... I hope all those streamers got their money up-front.

 

[HououinKyouma]

Yikes, no thanks lmao. Was rooting for Mixer as a competitor against Twitch, but fuck Facebook.

 

[nihilence]

When's the dashboard update..

 

[Fergie]

Lmao.

 

[Sekiro]

Lmao Disguised Toast was right at the end of the day.

Facebook does not bring me joy.

Defeated and absorbed into the bigger evil.

 

[RecRoulette]

I never really understood what MS was doing with Mixer. Like they were throwing money everywhere but I never actually saw anything pushing mixer as a service. Just strange all around.

Fuck partnering with Facebook though.

lmfao what an L for Microsoft

historic level of loss

 

[Deleted member 52442]

glad they're doing their part to fight racism

 

[Deleted member 1839]

If Shroud comes back to Twitch that'd be nice.

 

[Unkindled]

Facebook gaming Lol should have just died

 

[cgpartlow]

Totally unsurprised, Microsoft has been ripping Mixer support out of all their apps for months now, and the latest controversy was just the nail in the coffin I think.

 

[Toumari]

Saw it coming really.

 

[PRrambo_]

I need to go back to the thread that announced their partnership with Ninja. People really thought Mixer was going somewhere. Oof.

 

[Spectromixer]

LMFAO


"Ninja, Shroud, and other top streamers are now free to rejoin Twitch or stream on Facebook Gaming."

 

[Angie]

Who the hell watches streams on Facebook?

 

[Antiax]

That's a lot of free millions for Shroud and Ninja. They are coming back to Twitch probably tomorrow. Lmao. Mixer needed rebranding but this is the worst decision Microsoft could have made.

 

[dragonflys545]

LOL.

 

[JuicyPlayer]

What happens to the streamers that they signed? Is it like WCW going out of business where they can stay home and collect a check?

 

[FTF]

Wow Ninja really fleeced Microsoft now lol.

 

[GasProblem]

Oh snap! Wonder if Ninja has to go to Facebook.

Edit: Nvm. Damn, Ninja got a good deal.

 

[catswaller]

really good for all the streamers who made deals, wow

 

[Punished Dan]

Wow.

 

[Wallace Wells]

RIP Mixer, we hardly knew ya

 

[CD_93]

Yikes.

 

[vestan]

nice now i don't have to have dudes breathing down my neck for not linking it in my OPs

you can't convince me people used that shit

 

[Bedameister]

Eeew, that's gross. Not like that Microsoft

 

[Thiago]

There's your 20/20 news for June.

[Andri]

So Microsoft are okay with partnering with Nazi/genocide enablers?

Click to shrink...

Yes, Microsoft has many contracts with the US government.

 

[BoxManLocke]

Fuck Facebook. What an awful partnership.

Click to shrink...

That's fucking hilarious. So they got millions and now can go back to having massive subscriber count/Twitch revenue as well. Good for them. What a massive waste of resources from Microsoft.

 

[Vakuf]

facebook had a gaming streaming site? huh

 

[Damn Silly]

well, uh, hopefully Facebook takes some of features from Mixer, I guess?

 

[Gamer17]

What aboit all those millions paid to ninja and likes for moving to mixer ?

Anyways hopefully all the people in mixer find jobs and lets see how partnership with Facebook goes as Facebook gaming has its own issues

 

[Expy]

Closing down Mixer in favor of a Zuckerberg deal?

 

[Cranster]

This is a bit disappointing but after last nights revelations I don't think I can blame them for burning it all down.

 

[shimon]

I'm shocked!

 

[Sydle]

Ugh, just partner with Twitch.

 

[Stickman]

Is there a worse partner than Facebook right now?

 

[Yerffej]

um wow

 

[BioDigital Jazzman]

expected, Mixer was clearly a failure from the start. Despite what a very loud minority of people would proclaim.
The racism claims and then desperate higher ups only made it easier for MS to shut it down

They wasted so much money, it was all so pointless

I mean in the grand scheme of things it was only a blip on their radar
