Content on Mixer was already temporary, but now it’s going offline for good. The good news is that they have a well-documented public API for anyone interested in archiving any streams: https://dev.mixer.com/guides/core/introduction.
Mixer had a number of exclusive streamers, all of who were invited to Facebook Gaming[2]. These exclusive streamers include the likes of Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, who’d been on the platform for nearly a year. Whether or not they choose to follow this exclusivity deal with Facebook Gaming, they are all now at risk of losing their stream recordings!
Archive Team is leading a project called #mixdown, in hopes of saving whatever they can. You can expect to hear more on that or any other “stream rescue” projects in the coming days so stay tuned!
