Google are scared of being labelled as monopolizing a market, and the opposition of the takeover has not been positive. | ||

Any company in this space has to deal with it if they are going to be grow. | ||

The odd thing about Google being the buyer and Twitch doing all the copyright stuff is that Google already has all that technology. It doesn't make sense to force Twitch to do it BEFORE being acquired, it would just be a massive waste of resources. | ||

Especially considering they are rivals. | ||

I keep it there incase the man takes my first tinfoil hat. I will loan it to you because you apparently need it as much as I do. Unless you are the man, and this is your plot to steal all my tinfoil hats!!!!! Seriously though, Google isn't a shining example of an honest corporation (oxymoron?), but there is a reason why they have a loose monopoly on the Internet. You can't blame them for having a superior product. | ||

But if this makes Twitch streams finally watchable, then that's good Google has a history of making Youtube terrible. Most Youtubers will tell you that if another video sharing website popped up that could give them a similar level of income but a better user experience/customer support and without the TERRIBLE 3rd Party Content matching system, they would leave in a heartbeat. Totalbiscuit frequently remarks how he wishes Youtube would "just let him do his job" instead of introducing things every few months that make it harder to do his job. Youtubers are only on youtube because it's the only serious game in town. Anyway, while doing some research on this acquisition, I found a pretty humorous picture: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/26/technology/amazon-nears-a-deal-for-twitch.html?_r=0 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8FQIE8H.jpg) Haha. MTV can suck it. CNN, we're coming for you! | ||
