Mixer is only the alternative if you don't pay attention to the streaming world at all. The alternative is YouTube. Then Facebook Gaming.
And THEN Mixer.
It's YouTube Gaming and Facebook who're signing people left and right. And they're actually growing.
I just mentioned Mixer because some high profile streamers left Twitch for it a few months ago.
So many Twitch streamers getting free money because there are some streamers going to Mixer, Youtube and Facebook.
Win-Win for everyone lol
Win-Win for everyone lol
YouTube Gaming is supposed to be that big?
I don't even know how to access that platform on PS4 and Xbox One, lol.

I always see some twitch channel dedicated to re-streaming shroud's mixer stream once in a while and it always has a crapload of viewers
You just have to open the YouTube app and go to the Live category?
You can also stream your own gameplay directly to YouTube (or Twitch).

Dr Disrespect is the villain who could change the future of TV
Live-streaming’s biggest personality talks contracts, Kobe, and more.

2 years - I think that's how long their contracts were.
I never thought Doc would leave twitch but I'm sure he got a nice payout for it. He's always been pushing production value on his stream even before he blew up - so fair play to him.
Yeah mixer is bottom of the list for sure and it doesn't look like MS will change it.
There is no live category. And I think, at least that was a problem in the past, don't know if it still is one, if I click on a channel I won't see any Livestreams there, only if I search the channel then the Livestream pops up. It's super underrepresented and hidden, it's basically non existent on consoles.
because it's crap like windows phone. i dont know why ms pushes these crap products.
make a good product, then push it.
oh well, guess they're too busy rolling in money.
He got millions from this.

“the two-time @DrDisrespect has re-signed to Twitch in an exclusive multi-year streamer deal that is in the millions of dollars per year and is expected to be announced today, sources tell me”

In gaming? I thought Twitch was ahead by a country mile.
Yup, the skill of knowing when to be patient in business, they probably would have gotten less during the summer when people were getting paid left and right.
As a platform Mixer arguably is better than twitch for what it offers it streamers, the issue is Twitch is streaming there is no other option to most people.
Literally wouldn't make any sense for him to leave in my opinion. I will say this, dude is a douche and has done some douche things, but production values and entertainment from him are top notch compared to others. I can't stand streaming but will watch this dude just to see his reactions.
i just know as a consumer when i go to mixer it looks like low rent rubbish. i dont stream really.
I know that some streamers turned down money because they didn't want to lose the audience they cultivated, but that Mixer deal seems like the greatest thing ever. 2 years isn't that long to stream over there, and then make an event around returning to twitch when the contract expires. In the meantime you made a boatload of money.
Not a bad deal.
Ninjas contract was only two years???
But yeah, back when it happened, I was sure he'd done the math. These guys aren't (all) dumb. They can do a simple calculation, $ lost by not being on Twitch vs what MS is paying me. If the latter is greater, it's a good deal.
I think everybody went through that phase of: discovering the character, being in on the joke, thinking it's awesome.
That said for me the games he plays havent interested me and I dont have any real reason to watch after the novelty of the character quickly wears off. Then again I dont casual watch twitch. I watch for Destiny or maybe if it's a super hot girl (and the latter can only hold my attention for a short time). Probably the closest I come to watching for the streamer not the game, occasionally is Maximilian, love that guy. Plus fighting games are by nature always mildly interesting to watch.
