How much Ninja and shroud made from Mixer shutdown MixerAccording to sources, Ninja and shroud have walked away from the Mixer closure a lot better off, says esports journalist Rod \u2018Slasher\u2019 Breslau. It will come as no surprise that top streamers Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek were well compensated for moving their channels from Twitch to Mixer. But, how much has the pair made now that Mixer has ended operations? Ninja was the first to make the move, making the announcement in August 2019, and shroud followed in October, meaning Twitch had lost two of its top 10 streamers in a matter of months. There were various reasons the streamers gave for their move, but of course, it had to make sense financially. In December 2019, a report from Bloomberg claimed that \u201cthe biggest streamers are earning as much as $40 million over three to five years.\u201d This would work out anywhere between $8 million and $13 million a year for Ninja and shroud. Now, of course, they won\u2019t be fulfilling the rest of their contracts with Microsoft\u2019s platform, and instead, it has been reported, have been paid out of their remaining obligations. After the news broke, esports journalist Rod \u2018Slasher\u2019 Breslau tweeted that according to sources, Facebook Gaming had actually offered double the original Mixer contracts to retain shroud and Ninja. Sources: Facebook offered an insane offer at almost double for the original Mixer contracts of Ninja and Shroud but Loaded\/Ninja\/Shroud said no and forced Mixer to buy them out. Ninja made ~$30M from Mixer, and Shroud made ~$10M Ninja and Shroud are now free agents \u2014 Rod Breslau (@Slasher) June 22, 2020 However, the pair apparently turned this offer down, and Breslau\u2019s sources state that Ninja and shroud made around $30 million and $10 million respectively, from their time on Mixer. For the time being, both streamers are free to explore their options, which include a return to Twitch. YouTube Gaming has also been upping its efforts to compete with the Amazon-owned platform though, and could be lining up a move for them now. Ninja said that he \u201chas some decisions to make.\u201d I love my community and what we built together on Mixer. I have some decisions to make and will be thinking about you all as I make them. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) June 22, 2020 Shroud simply said he was \u201cfiguring out my next steps.\u201d Blevins already has over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, and shroud 7 million, over two channels. This would give them a strong base on YouTube, although the audience for gaming livestreams (at least in the west) is still predominantly on Twitch. Ninja\u2019s old channel still exists on Twitch, all 14.7 million followers intact, but has laid dormant since his Mixer move. Shroud\u2019s 7 million follower channel is also still there, primed for his return, should he choose to make it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
