> Interestingly, this indicates that the streaming market is saturated, and Mixer simply had no room to grow. Facebook Gaming had the room. So did Discord, and with the Corona-Lockdowns also Zoom and other private Video-Conferencing-Services (though they are not exactly focused on public streaming). Mixer just never found their niche and strength, they sucked and failed because they tried to be another Twitch, instead of aiming to be their own.

Facebook Gaming is an afterthought that no one takes seriously (kind of like YouTube Gaming) -- for example, you couldn't even stream in 1080p (streams were limited to 720p) until mid 2019! Discord and Zoom have nothing to do with video game streaming and are, at best, tangentially related to the likes of Twitch. It seems like the streaming market is very much saturated because Microsoft took Mixer pretty seriously and it was quite feature-rich.
