Win Xbox Gift Card Mixer Mixer Users Get Xbox Gift Card Credit for Embers: Here’S How Much win xbox gift card mixer Mixer users get Xbox Gift Card credit for Embers: Here’s how much. Credit will be given to users of the Microsoft Mixer game streaming platform after it closes its doors this summer and transitions to Facebook Gaming. The amount of credit a person receives will depend entirely on how much credit they have on the Mixer platform or if they’ve subscribed to a Mixer streamer in the month of June, 2020. If you are a Mixer streamer, you’re in a different boat entirely. Mixer Subscription end-times are near. Mixer has a “subscription” system that has users pay approximately $5 a month to subscribe. You can “gift” a person a subscription or redeem subscription codes, too. One of the ways in which you’ll be eligible to get Xbox Gift Card credit as Mixer shuts down is having an active channel subscription. If you have an active Mixer channel subscription on June 30, 2020, you will get a “promotional Xbox Gift Card credit” of approximately $5. That’s if you’re the subscriber – and this amount does not stack up. You could be subscribing to 100x streamers on Mixer and you’d still get just $5, total. If you’re subscribing to a streamer on Mixer with a “Mixer Pro” subscription, you’ll get a gift card of approximately $15. If you were a streamer on Mixer, you’ll get your money too. “After July 22, 2020, we will pay all earned amounts according to the Mixer Content Monetization Terms & Conditions.” Time limit. There are limits to these credits – they’re not like normal Xbox credits. They’re not just cards you can turn around and sell on eBay. They’re applied to your Microsoft account and they’ve got a time limit. They’ll be applied to your Microsoft account by July 31, 2020, and they must be spend by September 30, 2020. What about my Embers? Microsoft partnered with Facebook and, in ending Mixer, is encouraging users of Mixer to just… go to Facebook Gaming. If you’re a Mixer streamer now, you’ll (likely) be fast-tracked in the process to becoming a streamer on Facebook Gaming. If you’re a viewer you’ll just… have to figure that all out for yourself, basically. Microsoft is giving you the time now to spend up all your “Embers” as soon as you can, otherwise they… turn to charcoal, sorta – here’s how that works: Microsoft suggested that “Any unspent Embers will be converted to a promotional Xbox Gift Card credit of similar value and automatically applied to the Microsoft account associated with your Mixer account.” This converted Embers-to-Xbox Credit is subject to the same expiration situation as the other credit mentioned above. You’ll get the credit in your Microsoft account by July 31, 2020, and you’ll need to spend it before September 30, 2020, or it’ll evaporate. You cannot purchase Mixer Embers after June 30, 2020, and any unspent Sparks will be “forfeited” after July 22, 2020. It’s unclear at this moment why Microsoft uses the word “forfeited” if they actually intend to convert unused Sparks into Xbox credit – we shall see! Xbox will shut down Mixer in a new deal with Facebook Gaming. Mixer is no more. Xbox is shutting down its in-house live-streaming service this summer and transitioning its entire platform to Facebook Gaming, in an attempt to rapidly expand its audience base. All Mixer services will go dark on July 22nd, and its sites and apps will redirect to Facebook Gaming. After July 22nd, native streaming from the Xbox One will only be possible via Twitch, Mixer’s largest competitor. “It became clear that the time needed to grow our own live-streaming community to scale was out of measure with the vision and experiences we want to deliver to gamers now,” Xbox head Phil Spencer said in an Xbox Wire post. Mixer Partners that make the leap to Facebook Gaming will receive similar status there, and Microsoft says existing agreements will be followed as closely as possible by the new management. Streamers participating in Mixer’s monetization program will be eligible for -- but not automatically enrolled in -- the Facebook Gaming Level Up Program, which unlocks the ability to earn money through Stars and Fan Subscriptions. Mixer viewers with leftover Embers, the service's in-house monetary system, will receive a digital Xbox gift card worth a “similar value.” This converted credit should appear in Xbox accounts by July 31st, and it will expire on September 30th. Today’s news came as a surprise to the streaming community, especially considering all the work (and money) that Microsoft has been funneling into Mixer. Late last year, Microsoft dropped millions of dollars to secure top personalities like Soleil "Faze Ewok" Wheeler, Cory "King Gothalion" Michael, Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek, and the biggest catch, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins. When Mixer signed Ninja, he had 14.7 million followers on Twitch. As of today, Ninja has just over 3 million followers on Mixer. It was reported at the time that Microsoft spent $20 million to $30 million to lure Ninja away from Twitch. With today’s news, Ninja, Shroud and the other Mixer-exclusive streamers are ostensibly free to re-join Twitch or any other platform. Multiple people involved in the esports and streaming industries are reporting that Ninja and Shroud, Mixer’s two biggest names, turned down multimillion-dollar deals with Facebook Gaming amid Mixer’s closure. Esports consultant Rod Breslau said Facebook offered both streamers “almost double” the amount of their original contracts, but they opted for a buy-out from Mixer instead. “Ninja and Shroud are now free agents,” he said. Sources: Facebook offered an insane offer at almost double for the original Mixer contracts of Ninja and Shroud but Loaded/Ninja/Shroud said no and forced Mixer to buy them out. Ninja made. $30M from Mixer, and Shroud made. Ninja and Shroud are now free agents — Rod "4475 SR & Immortal peak" Breslau (@Slasher) June 22, 2020. Hours after the Mixer news dropped, Shroud said on Twitter that he’s still figuring out his next move. Similarly, Ninja tweeted, “I love my community and what we built together on Mixer. I have some decisions to make and will be thinking about you all as I make them.” Mixer enjoyed plenty of attention following its streamer-signing spree in late 2019, though it’s been unable to truly compete with Twitch, Amazon’s live-video service. In the first quarter of this year, Mixer was the No. 2 service in terms of hours streamed, and it had more streamers than YouTube and Facebook Gaming combined, according to Streamlabs. However, in terms of total hours watched, Mixer fell far behind its counterparts: Twitch clocked 3.1 billion hours, YouTube Gaming hit 1 billion, Facebook Gaming reached 553.8 million, and Mixer eked out 81.4 million. Mixer was able to sign streamers, but it wasn’t able to turn those deals into eyeballs -- which is what advertisers want to see. Mixer’s “hours watched” numbers have been continually falling since their height in 2019, according to Streamlabs. Facebook Gaming, on the other hand, has been reeling in more and more viewers, and its “hours watched” metric grew 236 percent from Q1 2019 to Q1 2020. Xbox is preparing to launch the Xbox Series X this fall, and it’s attempting to build a solid foundation for the next generation of console gaming. Mixer was clearly a weak point. By offloading the upkeep of an entire streaming platform, Microsoft is free to focus on services like Project xCloud, the backbone of Xbox’s cloud-gaming service. “Gaming is already part of our social fabric, and Project xCloud can take you from discussing a new game -- whether it’s a funny in-game moment posted by a friend, an ad, or an ongoing stream -- directly to playing it,” Spencer wrote. “In the future, through the power of Xbox Live and Project xCloud, we see there being just one click between ‘I’m watching’ and ‘I’m playing.’” This sounds similar to plans that Google has laid out for Stadia, its rival cloud-gaming system. As the next generation of console gaming begins, Microsoft is already competing with Google, Amazon, Sony, Nintendo and dozens of other huge companies -- but at least in terms of live- streaming, it now has Facebook on its side. xbox/ Gift card.

Remote rendering for VR is a technology that enables high-quality VR on low-powered devices. This is realized by offloading heavy computation and rendering to high-powered servers that stream VR as video to the clients. This article focuses on one specific issue in remote rendering when imperfect frame timing between client and server may cause recurring frame drops. We propose a system design that executes synchronously and eliminates the aforementioned problem. The design is presented, and an implementation is tested using various networks and hardware. The design cannot drop frames due to synchronization issues but may on the other hand stall if temporal disturbances occur, e.g., due to network delay spikes or loss. However, experiments confirm that such events can remain rare given an appropriate environment.

  • Windows 10 Netflix Download Forget Netflix! This Microsoft App Adds Hundreds of Hours of Entertainment to Windows 10
    windows 10 netflix download Forget Netflix! This Microsoft app adds hundreds of hours of entertainment to Windows 10. With many big changes planned for Windows 10 PCs this year, device owners are eager to learn more about what’s to come. And this week, Microsoft confirmed plans to extend one of its most popular features so that it can run as an easy-to-download app on Windows 10 PCs. The Xbox app can be found on the Windows Store and currently allows gamers to manage their accounts and play games. However, these video games have always required special graphics cards and specific hardware settings to be enjoyed on a PC. But that will all change in 2021 with the announcement of a growing game streaming service. Similar to Netflix, Xbox Cloud Gaming makes it possible to stream a video game over the Internet rather than through hardware. The service isn’t free, but is bundled with something called Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which has proven to be very popular on Xbox consoles. The Xbox Game Pass is a bit like Netflix in that you pay a monthly subscription to have unlimited access to a library of video games you can play. And if you bought the Ultimate version, you get access to the Xbox Cloud Gaming service, which allows you to access this library from your phone, PC or tablet. This new service is still in beta, but Microsoft is now testing a version that can be used via the Windows 10 Xbox App. This means that soon; anyone can buy an Xbox Game Pass, boot up their PC, and play any game in the library over the Internet.

Delivery of games over such a medium negates the need of requiring dedicated video game consoles or computers with robust 3D graphics hardware. Tangible hardware requirements for traditional video game playing are currently undergoing a supply shortage due to a multitude of factors, particularly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This project evaluates the cost of using cloud services vs. using a physical video game console. Also, this article evaluates whether players can come up with a custom solution utilizing VPS (virtual private server) providers such as Amazon Web Services. By utilizing the diffusion of innovations theory, we evaluate how the common actors of the video game industry try to replicate the traditional video game playing experience, but in a cloud setting.
