Ninja leaves Twitch, now streaming on Mixer exclusively

[Sotonian]

 

[Finaj]

Holy. Shit.

 

[SuikerBrood]

That's quite a big deal. Lol.

 

[Polyh3dron]

bye binch

 

[Dyashen]

Wow! That's pretty big for Mixer.

Also:

 

[idonteven]

that must be one crazy big fucking bag of money yo

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Holy fucking shit, this is insane if true.

 

[Galava]

Ninja is swimming in dollars right now.

 

[Dan8589]

A decision worthy of a 'become the greatest streamer ever' book...

 

[Ryan.]

I see this as a stupid move. Even if MS is paying him big

 

[.exe]

The amount of money that must've exchanged hands... Oh dear god.

 

[Goldenroad]

I can't believe it took MS so long to make this play finally. I have no idea what the outcome will be. Does Ninja lose his whole audience or is Mixer's about to blow up?

 

[TheInfinityGauntlet]

Twitch getting what it deserves

 

[Slayven]

This will be an interesting move

 

[metsallica]

Do you like my hat? It's made of MONEY!

 

[Brass Body Dave]

Man that REALLY hurts Twitch. Wow.

 

[Smurf]

that's big

 

[Nabs]

How much did Microsoft spend? I need numbers.

 

[BlkSquirtle]

MS must have dropped STACKS to do this.

 

[stumblebee]

WOAH. That's a fucking POWER MOVE.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Wow, pretty big boon for Mixer.

 

[Lego Killer Moth]

What's more likely? This ends Ninjas career or people start actually using Mixer?

 

[Natiko]

Wow, that was unexpected. Does Mixer have comparable ways to receive money from your viewers or is it just that Microsoft is fronting him with loads of cash to switch?

 

[Deleted member 6730]

Viral stunt

 

[Kehaan]

I really wonder how much they paid for that. Must be a looooot of money.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Microsoft even moneyhatting streamer now - hope Ninjas upcoming book will be free via GamePass as well.

Spoiler

lol

 

[TheBaldwin]

It may not work out long term, but he must of had a huge payout

Always respect the hustle

 

[Milennia]

how much you guys think he got? i'm thinking like 2 years of projected earnings lol

 

[MJForum Poster]

Great news! Mixer's recent commitments to fighting toxicity and providing a safe environment will allow him to stream with women now.

Anecdotal of course but I don't know anyone who uses mixer.

 

[Future Gazer]

woah

 

[Deleted member 8196]

Ninja on Halo Infinite wew

 

[Papercuts]

That's actually fucking huge. Wow.

Somewhere in the middle.

I don't know anything about streamers though. How big is Ninja in the world of streaming? I still don't get why people want to watch other people playing games or whatever.

 

[TYRANITARR]

Whew, I was worried he would become Epic Games Store exclusive!


... I actually think this is a huge loss for Mixer. Most of his audience are just kids, they aren't going to follow him over.

 

[vestan]

good luck i guess, i don't expect most of his audience to follow over considering how huge twitch is but ok

 

[Error 52]

Okay Mixer better not become the EGS of streaming

(Side note: Does everyone else keep misspelling Mixer as "Mixr")

 

[Lotus]

That is surprising.

 

[Komo]

Holy shit Twitch just lost a lot of money lmao.

well it's run by microsoft so probably not.

 

[MistahS]

Sheeeeeeit dudes getting paid.

 

[Meg Cherry]

It feels like Mixer has been in a position to firmly compete with Twitch for awhile now, and this seems like the first shot across the bow.

 

[Nabs]

If you thought Twitch spam was bad, wait until you see Mixer.

 

[KDC720]

This is huge for Mixer. I don't even watch Ninja or many streamers in general, but I'm interested to see how this will play out.

 

[Trickster]

Even though this is obviously only due to a huge bag of money from MS, I still think this is only a good thing. Twitch's monopoly is bad for everyone, so if MS moneyhats enough people to use mixer instead and turn it into a decent alternative, I'd be all for it

 

[Galava]

This is the equivalent of Ronaldo leaving Madrid fo Juventus of the gaming world isn't it?

 

[Deleted member 8861]

Good to hear Microsoft wants their platform to be the one people go to for heated gaming moments

 

[Akai]

The amount of money that must have went into this move...

Also... Imagine if the Inside Xbox people where let go, because of this. lol

 

[Dust]

Here is your exclusive Xbox fans lol.

From MS?

2 Billion. Just like Notch.
