Too negative?

YES, a Million times yes.

It has turned into the 40+ complain gang.

The last beastcast w/o Abby was just a DadCast.

I get it. Most of them have been around for 20+ years so nothing is new, but it is really turning into a hatefest on any new game or development. Bakalar is a serious Grinch especially when it comes to mis-pronouncing Mario.

I don't think I will re-up my premium.

Games are fun, and the bomb crew are turning into old fuddy duddies.

@xkkzz: Ok now that I have messed with it more it makes more sense, but there doesn't appear to be a way on Standard to save servers (rooms).

Got standard, see I need club, no upgrade path, will end up spending $40.

@humanity: You are not wrong about the data collection. Personally though, I find FB's transgressions much worse. I get that I am actively being datamined at all times, but what FB is doing with that data, IMO is making society much, much worse.

It's a personal choice, and I'd make it for the same reason I removed myself from FB and IG years ago.

and....

Just a note about how far this integration will go:

"Transitioning the Mixer community is a key part of a broader effort that Xbox and Facebook Gaming are embarking on,* bringing new experiences and opportunities to Facebook, where every month more than 700 million people play a game, watch a gaming video, or interact in a gaming Group."

@fourthline:

All good points.

@ginormous76:

I prefer the exclusives, the UI, I already own a massive amount of games through the service which I can play on the SX, I prefer the controller, and I have Xbox Live and game pass until May 2022. Also, I absolutely hated the PS4's long downloads followed by long installs.

All that being said, if XBOX integrates with FB I will delete my XBOX account and buy a PS5.

You can "reset" your Mixer account to delete everything but your login credentials if you don't want your info transferred to FB. As Jeff mentioned on twitter, if this is a sign of some kind of XBOX / FB integration to come I for one will be deleting as much of my XBOX/MS account as possible and purchasing a PS5 instead of my planned XBOX-SX.

Good on the streamers that were able get bought out.

Too bad for the mid-tier streamers that have cultivated a fanbase. They don't have much time to decide where they are going to move and if those fans will follow.

The more controversial question is if a Manwich is a sandwich?
