What's that supposed to mean?
Yep. Their plan didn't work. But they also don't fall for sunken cost fallacySo they hired Ninja for ~$50 million and a lot of other famous streamers, only to shut it down a few months later?
They got paid, and they can go back to Twitch.Mixers shutting down? When did this happen?
Whats happening to those contracts they made with Ninja and Shroud? Did those two just get two huge paydays and can go back to twitch?
I'm just hearing it now (Mixer getting shut down). It's..... weird. Really thought they would give it a chance for another year because they hired all these famous streamers. But yeah, Mixer was trash since day 1.Yep. Their plan didn't work. But they also don't fall for sunken cost fallacy
I don't believe they announced layoffs. She tweeted she still has her job.That's awful, really awful.
Mass layoffs during a pandemic. WTF?

Damn, MS should've hired you before investing in Mixer
They didn't
Shifted to Microsoft Teams. Atleast the developers are. No idea about non-dev employees.Do we know if they're being let go? Or if they're being kept and shifted to other departments?
They tried. It failed.So they hired Ninja for ~$50 million and a lot of other famous streamers, only to shut it down a few months later?
That has been happening to the majority of companies.That's awful, really awful.

source?
Exactly, probably will get an opportunity get employment in another position... It's not Nokia

Extremely unlikely. This was probably already happening today - and then timing caught up in the worst way. You don't make a partnership with Facebook Gaming in a couple of hours. This is unbelievable and infuriating on so many levels.Wasn't surprised the meeting Phil had probably was the direct reason for Mixer shutting down.
Also extremely unlikely. They didn't lock Twitch out when they OWNED Mixer, why would they go out of their way for Facebook?Since they are using Facebook does that mean you can't stream twitch from Xbox anymore?
That's awful, really awful.
