Mixer is closed, this is how the fans respond

This announcement certainly received an unfavorable response from many people. Even many of them feel toyed by Microsoft. Because making the transition from one platform to another is not an easy thing. They also say that this is not a ‘partnership’ for the steamers, it’s just money.

The existence of this announcement also raises questions about the fate of world streamers like Ninja and Shroud who has decided to leave Twitch and join Mixer. Due to the move, they lost a lot of viewers.
