> Who really likes [...] Microsoft Mixer [...]? Mixer was great, may it rest in peace. (Mixer in part died so that Facebook Gaming could live. There was a hand-off of streamer exclusivity deals to give Facebook Gaming an early bump when Microsoft decided to graveyard Mixer. More ironic now that Facebook Gaming is dead too.) It had better game-focused streaming tech than Twitch and easier barrier to entry (and monetization). For one instance, what Twitch calls "squad streaming" where multiple streamers can share side-by-side streams Twitch requires monetization to be able to use the feature and at least one of the streamers needs to be the "Partner" level of monetization to turn it on, whereas Mixer's equivalent feature was a baseline feature available to all, very easy to turn own (especially if all streamers were already in an Xbox Party together), and had a better viewer experience because it was used more and built to be a common way to view people gaming together. I still miss Mixer sometimes for that feature alone and the ways it was used by some of the groups I was in. It felt much more social in multiplayer games than Twitch's more solo streamer-focused approach.
