Do you have a source? Because when this type of thing happens, that’s usually a common fake rumor. People just want to shit on big corps so they relish on the idea that those corps lost large amounts of money.
If it’s true, then MSFT needs better lawyers to write their contracts.

Ninja made ~$30M from Mixer, and Shroud made ~$10M" Yes, I know it is a tweet, but slasher is widely thought of as the leading game journalist, when it comes to gaming "leaks" and the like.
- Tehdasi 6y agoFor a 30m contract, the streamers are not going to be swindled by the fine print. The contracts will have had break clauses if MS doesn't support Mixer enough or it discontinues Mixer. Prolly also have minimum revenue numbers for the streamers too. Streamers don't want to be locked to a service which makes them irrelevant.
- bsder 6y ago> If it’s true, then MSFT needs better lawyers to write their contracts. Contracts are a function of power. If you are asking me to leave roughly $1.5 million+ guaranteed per year for your service that's going to bring me effectively zero for years, you're going to have to pay me quite a lot in cash. $10 million is about the 10 year run rate--which is a bog standard valuation for a business.
