Microsoft’s Mixer streamers have a decision to make
[ad_1] That choice has now been moved forward. Mixer will shut down on July 22nd, which doesn’t give the stars much time to figure out a solution. Ninja and Shroud don’t have to worry about their finances, at least. The pair reportedly received “full payments” from Mixer, meaning they made the same amount of money […]
Xbox will shut down Mixer in a new deal with Facebook Gaming
