YOUTUBE/GOOGLE IS BUYING TWITCH

As you might have heard Youtube/Google is/has buying/bought Twitch.

My opinion:

I think that youtube wants to make their interface better, and they want to make their streaming service better, and they want to use the twitch servers for  making their streaming service better and faster . I don't like it because youtube will put their own standards for how much you win from a commercial,and it doesn't give people the option to make them subscribe for  4.99 a month .

 

here are the articles that i've seen about it at this moment:

I hope not... Twitch is one of my favorite sites for what it is, I visit it as much as this forum, and I hope they don't ruin it.

just heard about that and it could be good...... probably not...... but still there is hope.

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

WAN show is going to have to move to a different site now.  Google will certainly make Twitch just as bad as YouTube is.

Doubt they do anything destructive with the service. Worst thing I can think of is putting a lot of ads on, but even that wasn't that intrusive when they began doing it on YT.

IdeaCentre K450 Review - My favorite (pre-built) gaming desktop under $1000.

Gaming PC Under $500 = Gaming on a budget.
