“Not Something to Laugh About”- Dr Disrespect on Mixer

Dr Disrespect has recently made comments against the jokes on Mixer shutting down. Microsoft had recently decided to shut down its streaming platform Mixer and have partnered with Facebook Gaming. The company made this move to get hold of a platform big enough to launch its streaming service, xCloud.

No doubt, Facebook Gaming has a bigger viewer base and reach than Mixer did. In all the time that Mixer existed, it had grown its own community of partner streamers and Facebook Gaming has promised to respect that partner status if they want to make the transition.

Recently, Ninja and Shroud have been in the news because of the enormous amount of money they received from Mixer after they opted out of joining Facebook Gaming as a partnered streamer. Let’s face it, not all the partnered streamers on Mixer were as big as these two names.

This talk has been going around for a while now that what is to happen to the smaller streamers on Mixer? These streamers had built their own viewer base and community on Mixer and now it is gone.

Dr Disrespect comments on the entire Mixer situation

Doc commented on this entire situation showing solidarity towards the small-time streamers. He showed solidarity towards the smaller streamers out there. This comes as a surprise since he had himself made some jokes on the Mixer shutdown situation. Here’s an example:

During a stream, Dr Disrespect was asked by a fan about his views on this whole situation. He replied by saying, “It is definitely not something to laugh about.”

As for Microsoft making the deal with Facebook Gaming, doc only has one question to ask: “Why?”

“It’s interesting. It’s interesting that Facebook bought Mixer. Like, why?”

He also comments on whether Ninja and Shroud are going to come back to Twitch.

“I’m sure they will… I don’t know all the details, the legalities of it with the contracts of state and whatnot… Be put in a position they can go wherever they want. They knocked it out of the park.”

How will all this turn out?

Honestly, there is no way to tell right now. The streamers of Mixer will now have to try their luck on Twitch or make the transition to Facebook Gaming, where there are high chances that they will get lost in the sea of streamers trying to make it big. On the other hand, there is also the possibility that the huge scope offered by these two platforms might come to their advantage. It is hard to tell at this point.
