Ninja leaves Twitch, now streaming on Mixer exclusively
- Thread starter Sotonian
- Start date
No. I just saw he posted he's gonna try it out (when i was searching mixer on twitter) so I thought it should be interesting to see how mixer mods manage. I went into it knowing there was some bad shit around him even though I do not remember what any of it was.
He isn't anybody I have watched before or intend to watch after.
Yup getting him settled in then having Halo launch is going to be so good for that games social media presence
"Game Pass" are words that he'll be saying, too. Guaranteed.
Is he though? I know he's a big streamer, but I doubt he'd even be in the top 10. Though I guess he does stand out.
How's Mixer's emote game? I'm guessing :kappa: isn't on that platform. I think even with whatever lump sum Microsoft gave him to move over, it isn't the best career move but I'm not an expert on stonks.
The emote game is weak but can be built up
They have the same concept of streamer emotes, though. But the base ones aren't great.
He'll either fade into utter obscurity. Or a very small chance mixer gets a big bump because of him.
Either way good coming funeral for Ninja. Getting out with a bundle of cash.

277 on twitch
Therefore
Twitch - 200 = Mixer.
Pretty good move for ninja then
They have Phil Spencer and Reggie Fils-Aime emotes, so that's something right?
Replying to this so I can find it easily when this comes true.
I'm totally out of the loop with streaming. How accessible is Mixer? Apps?
It seems like Twitch has plenty of streamers, so just one - even Ninja - won't hurt too much. However, this feels super risky for Ninja. How much of his audience will move to Mixer? How many will stay?

MCC has 600
So like, that's like, a little better?
(why must we suffer)
Mixer is on Android, idk about iOS, but you can download Mixer there.
If you're on Windows 10 or an Xbox, it's much more accessible to stream to Mixer. Xbox has the broadcast button on the menu, and the Game Bar in windows can broadcast with a single button press. No requirement for an external program to messing with stream keys to stream to it.
He's much bigger than Twitch or any platform he streams on.
Also Mixer is the #1 app on the App Store and he has nearly 200k subs already. He's gonna be okay
Damn this is huge
Tommy Wiseau on Mixer, cant wait to use my free sub on him

Simple. Mixer is opening up monetization to all users, so you don't have to be under contract to not only stream but even to MAKE MONEY on the platform. Plus, Mixer doesn't have ads (yet, but it's already been 2 years).
I think the bigger truth is that Microsoft is probably giving Ninja more freedom to take breaks and not get punished for it. He doesn't have to constantly be on the grind to stay #1 and relevant, and I think this is a good way for him to take a step back, maintain and interact with an audience, and still have time to spend with his family. It's clear the life was grinding him down, and HONESTLY, I'm not sure Mixer needs Ninja to maintain a huge audience that brings millions of viewers every day or something. They just need Mixer to be in the consciousness. That's already being accomplished, and MS can strategically spend to make the platform viable without depending SOLELY on the big names. The point is to build the native community, not kill it.
And hopefully, Mixer's community stays less toxic and tighter knit than Twitch tends to be. That would be a win, even if the numbers stay smaller.

So what happens if he decides to not stream? Is he required to stream every day, kinda like showing up to work?
i figure if it's a case of, he's already rich beyond his dreams, he knows the bell curve is only going one way as it inevitably does for popular streamers and youtubers so he did a calculation this was the best way for him to extract revenue out of the remainder of his career, while winding it down.
for mixer itself i haven't paid much attention if it appears to be growing or not. i feel like a lot of twitch streamers like the idea of mixer around, just so they're not 100% at twitch's bureaucratic whims though. But just the idea. They dont actually seriously consider it.

Can you only watch Mixer if you have an Xbox? Holy shit that's a small audience for him.
I am completely out of the loop in regards to the streaming community (I do know who Ninja is though), but am I the only one that never heard of Mixer before?

The rumor is that Ninja turned down Twitch's offer of $15m+ for 3 years. Also, another fairly large streamer Cohh Carnage supposedly mentioned turning down a 7 figure offer from Mixer.
He signed up a couple of years ago, but it looks like he just streamed tonight for the first time on Mixer, as he doesn't even have a sub button.

So a new free marketing stream for MS then. I'm guessing they'll push the new Halo big time in this way. I'm guessing this is part of their new strategy to push first party software.
Yep, and Ninja was actually a pro Halo player back in the day.
This is great news.
Hopefully Ninja being on the platform will boost other streamers on the service too. There are some genuine good people that regularly stream on there that I hope benefit from this.
Also, hypezone is a load of fun. Watching kids suddenly go from 1 viewer to 300+ viewers when they're in the final part of the game is hilarious to watch. They often choke.

Yeah, I was expecting 3-4 pages after reading the first 10 replies. Its a big change for the streaming world (I guess?)
30 pages for "platform owners can make the most popular streamer exclusive to them. With money".
