Ninja Reportedly Received $20-30 Million To Move To Mixer

In August 2019, popular streamer Tyler Blevins (aka Ninja) signed an exclusivity deal with Mixer, moving away from Twitch and fast building up a huge following on his new platform. It was clear that a lot of money must have been involved in the transaction, and now a new report is offering a ballpark figure.

According to an article on CNN about streamers being offered lucrative exclusivity contracts, Ninja's deal was likely worth between $20-30 million. This figure comes from Justin Warden, who is the CEO of marketing and talent management company Ader, and who claims to have inside knowledge of the deal.

This was for a multi-year deal, and still likely represents the largest deal a streamer has gotten for exclusivity. Ninja is so popular that he has his own skin in Fortnite, the game he is most famous for streaming.

Back in 2014, Amazon spent $1 billion acquiring Twitch, which Mixer (owned by Microsoft) is in direct competition with. Other streamers who have left Twitch for Mixer deals include Shroud and Ewok, a deaf teenage Fortnite streamer.

Mixer is just one of the streaming platforms Twitch now competes with--YouTube and Facebook Gaming are also nabbing streamers.

But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been
