Man this is a serious blow to me. I only stream on Mixer as means to privately have some conversation with my friends while they game in a format that used to be ad free and surfaced on friend's Xbox dashboard pretty seamlessly. It is so well integrated into the Xbox that i can walk all of my friends through it.
Plus with backward compatibility being a thing and HDCP keeping me from using older consoles I was content with never streaming Shadow of the Colossus or older Tony Hawk game through my PS3 or PS4 because there was the hope that Series X would bring in more and more, if not the complete collection, of the xbox library.
I haven't used Facebook since the Social Network movie came out and even that was a little late to the death of Facebook for me.
I enjoyed the anonymity and low viewership of my feeds. After i realized I didn't have an angle, nor a desire to become the next big thing or meet random new people that were 5 years younger than i should legally be conversing with i found peace. I was content telling friends to watch me stream PUBG or my latest endeavor.. stream the PSOne Classic and Sega Genesis Classic because those are the only systems that jive with my capture card.
Question? Are there services where i can stream to, that are not youtube? I'm thinking of patronizing Squarespace and using the code Bombcast. If i had a website can i set up a stream to that or am i looking to pay beaucoup money for that added feature? I just want to couch game with friends. I don't need Facebook ads or someone tracking me down to DOX me because mixer and xbox live are literally the sole interactions i have on the internet, besides Giantbomb forum posts... gulp!!
More importantly. How does this work for Ninja. I assumed he was going to be a paid shill for the next Halo and Series X itself. What are the mandates on him being on a non-exclusive-to-a-system platform. Did he ever play PS4 on Mixer? So many questions. *Saw the quote about Shroud and Ninja being bought out.. still a good though exercise*
