Google’s $1B purchase of Twitch confirmed — joins YouTube for new video empire

What this means is Twitch has gone more mainstream now over the past year and we need somewhere else to go.

So how much more money will Linus get? Hopefully a lot.

 

Sounds like it with them planning one massive cooling loop for all their rigs in the LMG house. an epic Idea I think. Although I think it will just end up overheating the pc's since it will be hotter outside the house than inside.

 

So, who's up for a kickstarter to pay for AC for LMG? Not just the system, but the electric bill (which I think will be  a negligible increase considering the amount of electronics they're already running.)

Let's hope Google won't mess up Twitch as bad as Yahoo! did you Tumblr.

 

From my years of watching internet companies it feels that Google only cares about quality content and making more money off their existing users without forcing too much on them besides making you sign up for their social network.

 

Other than that they may end up keeping the dev team and enhancing what they already have without making drastic changes.
