lynux3 2,462 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Had Microsoft spend $50m on Ninja that turned out to be a dud and then bounced. Thanks for acquiring our company (Beam) for millions too Microsoft! Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,162 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 This really means jack shit, and them leaving in succession like this tells me the venture is outgrowing the usefulness of their contributions and the salaries in tow. I don't think their "departure" is of their own making and likely comes with a contractual dissolution with severance tied to it. Microsoft already owns it outright, all the framework is in place, they have all the engineers and team they need to handle every facet of the business without the need for any involvement from either of them.

In other words it brought more people to the platform, it's successfully doing what it was intended to do. Link to post Share on other sites

The number of unique channels streaming on Mixer has doubled quarter over quarter from 1.95M in Q2 to 3.9M channels in Q3. I wouldn't bet on it. Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't bet on it. You're blatantly ignoring the most important statistic where the money and support for these streamers and platform comes from: Quote However, it would appear that Blevins alone is not enough to draw more viewers to the platform, with total hours watched for the quarter declining 10.6%. Who gives a shit about a channel? I could go on to Mixer right now, spin up a channel and it would mean nothing. It's not looking good.

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 - Xbox has failed and Mike Ybarra bounces after PS5's specs include hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing, a feature MS WON;T HAVE - Mixer has failed to capture Twitch's audience even with damn near bankrupting the company by buying out Ninja's gay ass - Xcloud completely inferior to google stadia - Windows OS and pC gaming going down the tubes to irrelevancy MS is in serious trouble, literally everything they do fails. I'd take a good hard look at Satya Nutella, he's ran the company into the ground. everything they do is behind the competition. MS's future is producing the Office suite and Word program for MAC, that's it. That's all they're good for. Link to post Share on other sites

Look at how much fan-fic Dynocrap created straight out his ass. Please tell us more about what you think about these Mixer guys? What's going on in their private life?
