Microsoft is shutting down Mixer and partnering with Facebook Gaming
This comes at no surprise to the game streaming community.<p>A number of popular gaming stream helpers, namely Harris Heller from Alpha Gaming [0], have kept streamers away from Mixer to focus on Twitch and hosting VOD/highlights on YouTube in order to best grow a community.<p>Facebook is a large enough platform that this might cause some trouble for Twitch, but we'll see. I think the gaming community is deeply seated around Twitch/YT. Since Facebook has already lost tons of younger users, and rejects anonymity, and doesn't have dark mode, I don't think this will turn out very good for Facebook.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCATWC1JSlhzmYeDbjnS8WwA/search?query=mixer" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCATWC1JSlhzmYeDbjnS8WwA/sea...</a>
