After a tumultuous departure from Twitch for Mixer, all eyes last year were on Ninja - the hit Fortnite streamer and infamously poor loser. But before the popular personality could even make it to one year on the platform, Microsoft pulled the plug on the enterprise altogether. That left many fans with one burning question: where to next?

Today, we have our answer. Ninja is making the move over to YouTube, and made the announcement on a stream with Dr Lupo, TimTheTatman, and Courage. After teasing the move an hour in advance, the streamer went live to break the news.

That said, there are still some sticking points here. We know that Ninja is on YouTube, but we have no idea if that's an exclusive deal, or if he'll be streaming elsewhere as well. There aren't a lot of details out there as of this writing, but it would make sense for Ninja to be an exclusive get for the platform. Ninja's a big draw, and any site that hosts him is sure to use it as a cudgel for investors.

We should expect a few announcements like this, following the short life and swift demise of Mixer. There was a lot of talent wrapped up in the site, and it'll be interesting to see where most of them land. With rumors swirling that Vince McMahon is getting into the streaming game, and more people than ever trying to get into the field, one thing's for sure: the future of streaming is going some strange places.
