MCPO Mayh3m Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Amazon is set to buy Twitch.tv for $970 million+, reports theVerge.com. It was rumored that YouTube had already closed a deal with the online gaming live stream juggernaut, however it has recently been reported that it is Amazon, not YouTube (Google), who will be acquiring the online streaming service. "We chose Amazon because they believe in our community, they share our values and long-term vision, and they want to help us get there faster," Said Emmett Shear, CEO of Twitch.tv in a recent statement. He further says that most everything on Twitch.tv is remaining the same, but that with Amazons support they hope to bring you an even greater Twitch.tv for the future. What are your thoughts on this news on the Live stream Juggernaut being purchased by Amazon? Good decision or bad? What changes do you believe will be made to Twitch.tv, if any?

BeckoningZebra1 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 This move is great, as it will likely help Twitch to become a more professional and a more publicized medium for streaming. I'm excited to see how Amazon can help enhance Twitch's streaming experience, very good news in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Kenway Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 yay! no Google Twitch this means (or should) that Twitch will still have the features we have come to know and love and it will be improved upon by Amazon. Nice find Mayh3m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
