Everyone is so quick to flame Google when it's Twitch that is wanting to partner with them.

As a German I have to say this sucks. Youtube and GEMA are making YT live streams and so many videos unwatchable already, I am really frightened they'll block all the Twitch streams as well. -.-
May the proxy servers be with us.

Well this sucks. Considering how Google and Youtube have changed in the past couple of years, I can't see anything positive about this merging. Ad-revenue may go higher, but is it really worth it? It's detrimental for competition, and twitch is probably going to get worse in user-experience and quality.

This is a VERY important step for e-sports!
Having the backing of a global player like Google is huge!

So... this should improve chances of an official twitch app for chromecast I reckon.

On the other hand, the internet gets smaller everyday with only a couple of big players

Meh. I like independent companies. It's nice for the Twitch guys that their brainchild gives them a fuckton of money, but I guess we as users will not benefit from this. I don't want every online account I have to be a subpart of google.

I would like to see more options on xbox at twitch. I miss the old youtube rating system. is the content of movies on youtube advertising method or stolen? or is movie makers afraid? facebook vs twitch vs blizz vs google. why does youtube not start their own same with blizz it appears risky. blizz or other gaming companies could show or give players option to show with a delay option. it doesnt get much riskier. if blizz and other companies had such plans probably prompt such a sale. if these companies is that valuable why they dont expand to live good quality chat. if there was starcraft 2 equal with good video chat I would consider playing it instead. if there is one please message me. imagine watching participants from favorite talent shows live. why does youtube not take their natural expansion? twitch fake bet natural expansion. is youtube afraid twitch will expand to something similar to youtube? teamliquid.net good video chat cafe expansion? teamliquid.net card hero game expansion? teamliquid.net video puzzle of starcraft 2 expansion? teamliquid.net.tv?


What????

Youtube does have a streaming service... Google is not buying Twitch for their shitty service, they are buying it for the content creators and brand.

a movie stream service?

This is really bad.

A lot of Youtube content creators named Twitch as their exit strategy should Youtube policies get too restrictive (which they already kind of are). Now Youtube is making sure there is no alternative, and considering how difficult it is to start a service like that form scratch and become a competitor, there may never be one.

Well, I have to ask you guys, do you think Blizzard is just going to let this happen? They are a twitch investor, and their content can be streamed live nowhere else while WCS and its partners are conducting all relative events (or so I believe).

I agree completely Google ruined Youtube and they will ruin Twitch if they acquire them I hope this doesn't happen

Yup, youtube is so ruined. Who even uses that anymore?

Youtube streaming is way more reliable than twitch, if anything this will improve the service.
