Most of you probably don't care, but this is pretty big news in the streaming landscape.

I'm guessing Microsoft payed in the 8 figures range to get him.

I'm not really into streaming at all, but does anyone actually use/watch Mixer? I only ever hear of Twitch

No, which is probably why they're throwing millions at a high profile streamer.

He thinks people will follow him lol.

This just means another twitch streamer will be taking all his views.

If Microsoft is paying him a shitload he probably doesn't care how many viewers he gets.

He will.

That is what usually happens.

Idiot thinks money is what matters.
Goes after big payday.

Realizes fame declines, becomes irrelevant, hates the work they doing.

Realizes they were already disgustingly rich and could have just not chased the big payday.

This is why amazing actors end up in absolute trash films and sometimes kill their own career.

I do it's significantly better than Twitch. I would never used Twitch if there was a Mixer option.

He was already rich.

When no one cares that he exists he will realize being more rich is not all it is cracked up to be.

Shouldnt he take the big pay day now while Fortnite is still relevant? Cuz it's not going to last forever. Or did he stream other games before and was popular? I dont really follow streamers.

All the people thinking his streaming career is gonna die on Mixer is crazy. Look at all the big Twitch streamers congratulating him and some wanting to even move away from Twitch. Twitch is about to lose a lot of their money makers if they don't put them on contract.

Not to mention, Ninja moving to Mixer right before the big Halo game promo is gonna hurt Twitch.

Streamers like him can continue to be relevant by just moving to the new popular game. Fortnite probably isn't going anywhere for a couple years at least.

He's only hurting his own brand's potential. A lot of people will follow him to Mixer, but not enough to make it relevant overall, and he won't gain new fans nearly as fast as he was.

Twitch suffers a lot of internal problems that won't get fixed, so it's good that there's competition. Amazon is already making enough money as it is.

isn't mixer doing well for itself also? obviously it's nowhere near twitch level but a move like this would help it out alot, especially if they can get more people to switch over

and with the money he's probably getting for making the move along with what he already has the change probably means nothing to him at this point lol might as well get the upfront payment worth at least a couple months worth of streaming if not more

A streamer called Hirez got 7 million to stream exclusively on mixer, so Ninja probably got 25+.
