Microsoft and Blevins have not disclosed how much Mixer paid for the exclusivity contract.
As of early 2018, Blevins had 3.7 million followers on Twitch and was making $500,000 per month. Former Xbox corporate vice president Mike Ybarra, who oversaw Mixer along with Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass, announced he is leaving Microsoft to join Blizzard Entertainment.īlevins, formerly Twitch's most popular streamer, left the service for Mixer in August. In the last month, James Boehm and Matt Salsamendi both left Mixer, which they founded under the name Beam in 2016. Grzesiek is the first prominent streamer Mixer has signed since Blevins, and the first since both of Mixer's co-founders and a third prominent executive left Microsoft.
