On Mixer’s last day, all eyes were on Twitch
[ad_1] She’s not alone. Featured streamers like RobotGiggles are going from having 47,545 followers on Mixer, to around 6,100 followers on Twitch.

Mixer gives every streaming partner $100 to help during COVID-19
[ad_1] With that said, there are concerns this may be too modest and lopsided an offering. Top-tier Mixer streamers like Ninja and Gothalion aren’t likely to notice $100, while smaller-time broadcasters will likely need much more than $100 if they’ve lost a day job or have trouble covering added expenses. And while Microsoft doesn’t have […]
