Ninja leaves Twitch, now streaming on Mixer exclusively
- Thread starter Sotonian
- Start date
Neither does Twitch, at least noticeable anyway, people can just manually set one to avoid stream snipers, most of them don't put a delay on though.
It was never about ninja going to mixer perse. The buzz around the news and making known that mixer is a thing to the public is the bigger achievement.
Didnt know he did a press release
Twitch has a low latency option, so you can get a 1-3 second delay. If you don't select that (I don't know if it is default now) then, yes, you'll get the longer delay.
Nobody I watch uses that option then, and I don't watch very many people.
Can it be positive, community-focused environment if he won't play with women?
Reeks of toxic-masculinity to me.
Doesn't surprise me that his fans think this isn't a problem.
It's been a long time since Ninja had to worry about his streaming/subscriber numbers significantly affecting his livelihood like a lot of streamers. The dude is on Red Bull cans.
User Warned: Off-Topic Trolling
I don't really watch Twitch or Mixer (outside of E3) but hopefully this is successful and turns Mixer into a more viable alternative.
Those against Epic moneyhatting game devs seem to be missing from the convo so far. Maybe streaming platforms have less fanboys than PC game buying platforms?

And your knowledge of him probably doesn't extend the threads on this forum.
He clarified on this topic multiple times. He is no saint but he has done a lot of good things, donated shit ton of money and raised even more.
Hosted and boosted lots of smaller streamers (male and female btw).
Again not saying he is perfect, but parroting these things while there are far worse people still celebrated on here is mind blowing.
Wait.
What?
Does MS own Mixer?
.. and did they just buy exclusivity for a Youtuber?
Waiting on timed exclusives on Youtubers to see how low we can go.

It was definitely affecting him for a time. He eventually just said fuck it and took a break, his viewership and subscriptions never really recovered though, Twitch is brutal in that regard.
This isn't going to do anything for Mixer. Plenty of deals like these happened for Twitch alternatives back when League streams were pulling the biggest numbers around.
It didn't do anything.

Don't start it, don't mention it, don't derail the entire thread. If you want to have your "discussion" about exclusive streamers, make a new thread.
Yes they own Mixer.
Most streaming platforms only allow you to stream on one platform if you are partnered so Ninja streaming on Mixer is no different than when he streamed on Twitch.
These sites have always forced people to lock in to them exclusively. Otherwise every twitch streamer would mirror and be live on youtube at the same time, this has always happened. He had to break an exclusivity already set with twitch for this to happen.
Uhhhhhh.. do you not know how these streaming websites work already... cause it sounds like you don't.
Sarcasm?
Even if he is the most famous person of Twitch, I think is not a big deal, is it? I think thit guy was starting to be more irrelevant in the platform, cause now with the Prime's subs the channels with more subs vary a lot (Shroud reached the top when the Apex momentum).
Anyway I hope it boosts Halo MCC sales, Infinite is too far unfortunately.

Well, might as well pay this guy to shrill your games on your own streaming service if the price is right. Whether or not people stick with him or move on to the next big streamer is yet to be seen.
It probably won't boost as much as if they just did a sponsored stream on Twitch. Mixer is heavily confined to the xbox ecosystem. This is a move to try to help branch out of it.
Damn. The followers count on the channel cant keep up then its still at 100k
Mixer has been locking up streamers for a while now, this is just more high profile than their usual exclusivity deals where they lure established streamers from Twitch.
That's still not ridiculous, especially when these bans feel like paid vacations to streamers. Every time a streamer returns from a ban, their viewer numbers increase exponentially, so it's not even close to career ending.
If exclusivity is required for Twitch partners, then how do Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc. stream on multiple platforms at once?
