Fable 4 Shows Up On Microsoft S Mixer Streaming Service After Third Party Slip Up

Though Fable 4 does appear as a search term in Microsoft’s database, its appearance is a far cry from an official confirmation. Mixer pulls its titles from Player.me, owned by SplitmediaLabs, creator of XSplit, rather than Microsoft. Though Player.me rarely publishes incorrect entries, it’s not some kind of accidental slip up on Microsoft’s end.
