The social network announced today that its Facebook Gaming platform, which has been competing with Twitch, YouTube, and Microsoft’s Mixer from quite some time is now welcoming its first cloud games available on the web and Android.
Ninja chose YouTube Gaming as the first platform to stream on after Mixer transitions streamers and fans to Facebook Gaming.
Ninja may find the transition from Mixer to YouTube Gaming a much easier move than to Facebook Gaming or his even his old home at Twitch given the way the two left things.
I wish everyone knew the numbers. I wish everyone knew all the inputs into this decision.
Despite Facebook’s bad reputation, the company could be a great partner for bringing Microsoft’s Project xCloud game streaming service in front of more eyeballs.
Xbox head Phil Spencer said on Twitter today that "we absolutely want to give gamers choice of where to stream from Xbox.”
For anyone who rode the Windows Phone to Windows Mobile to eventually iOS or Android train, today's news feels all too familiar.
This stagnation in increasing eyeballs to its service during perhaps a time uniquely suited for its growth should be a concerning trend
