Crazy money effectively wasted on Ninja & Shroud and they'll make a shed load again when they sign a new deal with Twitch/YouTube. Never thought Mixer would take off but surprised it's done so soon.

Fanboys will act like this is some planned masterstroke, but the truth it they completely and utter balled up yet again with Mixer and bailed.

The xcloud integrating into FB gaming stuff may well be something good to come from it, but make no mistake, MS wanted their own platform and social media presence.

I mean not a masterstroke really but it was kind of obvious that they were not turning down an obscene amount of money. More than made up for the dent in their subscribtion base.

Anything relating to Facebook is something I will actively avoid.

Twitch like YouTube has got too much of a stronghold. Was always going to be tough even when you throwing money left and right at top streamers to join you. Mixer also was not available on PS4, which was a big problem.

Also yesterday there was a tweet from a guy about how the management was racist at Mixer. So clearly Microsoft had no faith in management because been hearing few stories of low morale at mixer.

I was talking about Microsoft, not Ninja and Shroud mate.

And yep, I wouldn't touch yet another thing associated with FB.

A ninja must see through deception.
