Maybe market share isn't the right way to frame it. Much of the success of gaming platform's is built on goodwill. Due to their botched attempts with bans, community guidelines, harassment, toxicity etc. Twitch could certainly use some positive press these days. IMO it would be seen as a great PR move to welcome these newly platform-less streamers will open arms. Facebook is already offered people who move from Mixer to FB Gaming and stay for 90 days somewhere in the range of $2.5K
Will most of them probably move to Twitch anyway? Yes. Will Twitch be losing money in the short-term by giving away value here? Probably. But in the long-term having these ex-Mixer folks happy and feeling welcomed will have positive impact on their fans, communities, and gaming as a whole. Not to mention the revenue potential these folks could bring.
