Google (YouTube) tried to buy Twitch, but wasn't allowed to, due to antitrust matters it seems.
What else could they do? They really want in.

Twitch has a terrible vod system and ad issues for mobile. I welcome this.

Is there a way to rewind a twitch broadcast while it's still in progress? That's really what makes me like youtube streams a lot more.

Yeah, and it's way easier to navigate previous videos on youtube too.
SKT hwaiting! RIP TL, TiP

Here they come.

Death of Twitch inc.

Honestly, to me, YT will just crush Twitch. Twitch works very poorly when you got a low connection, YT to the contrary just works well...

The only important data to me will be the ads remuneration figure on YT. If it's bigger on YT, then it's just instant death to Twitch. The other way around, Twitch might still have a chance.

I have a decent connection and can watch everything on Source but Twitch just stops sending data and keeps reloading and whatnot. It's garbage, bad dresign. Honestly, when it was one whole site (Justin.tv), it was completely fine and even after they split the gaming section off, but these past 2-3 years, ugh.
Youtube has awful design as well but at least you can watch stuff when it's night/morning. Afternoon and evening is often a pain since it loads so slow that it's unwatchable.

I wish ustream would still be a thing. Unfortunately they messed up hard and drove all the users to Justin.tv. Hitbox is better regarding the stream but it has issues from time to time, the design is worse than Twitch's and my chat loads only after around 30 minutes for whatever reason.

How come there are good streaming services for Japan, Korea and China but no ones for the international audience?

My issues with the designs in general is that it caters to tablet and mobile users while as a PC user I want functionality, a clear overview and fast navigation.

Other than the shitty CPU usage Twitch generates I got no problem with them. No lags or anything.
But YouTube is a real pain here in Germany. I can image something like if someone plays a song YouTube has no rights to in Germany there's a blackout and the "This content is not available in your country" screen. That would be the icing on the YouTube cake. And this US censorship thing (you cannot show one inch too much of you skin or use "dirty words") sucks, too, but this is actually a problem on both sites.
Edit: One other thing that's better on Twitch (for me it is...): The popout Option. I always watch Twitch that way, because I like to surf additionally and the screen is bigger this way.

I have been streaming on YT past few months(expecting this and wanting to get partner on YT before they launch this)

and let me tell you YT is on another level. When I streamed on twitch, I would always drop frames and I would never know why. I boiled it down to my internet and or my computer. I could not stream 1080p to save my life on YT.

When I switched to YT, I can stream 1080p perfectly, 0 frame drops. IT was the twitch servers after all. Even though all the times I messaged twitch admin, they kept saying it was my problem. Fuckign skeezes!

Current streaming on YT is not bad, but obviously they will fix it. Chat needs revamp(easy fix) and the layout is bad(easy fix) and onto of that YT pays way more than twitch will. Even as a premium streamer on twitch they stilll skeez you.

I for one welcome our new overlords

Amazing! But dont take a dump on twitch when you havent even seen this new service yet. Twitch is not without its problems but they have completely changed esports, I do think this is awesome though. This keeps both companies in check and strive for quality. But to think this is the death of twitch... lol. Amazon didn't spend 970 million to just get taken out in one punch,

What this will be the death of is all the other small streaming services, like Dingit, especially ones that require a downloaded player. I'm just guessing anyway.

All the "Twitch is dead" posts are rather hilarious. Twitch isn't going away any time soon, barring some colossal mismanagement. They will definitely have to work even harder, but that's a good thing for both services.

If anything, I'd say places like Hitbox are about to be dead.

As a German I couldn't care less about a Youtube gaming streaming site, lol. Not like we can watch anyway, so there's at least that many people that will keep watching Twitch.

lol, exactly what I just said, so I concur. I was trying to think of hitbox as well but couldn't remember the name, although I'm sure Dingit is even more dead than hitbox after ytg release
