xD. Yeah the user-interface was among the bigger issues imo.

I hardly used Own3d.tv the user interface was clunky and un-user-friendly (if that ever was a word). Twitch is better... however....it will become a monopoly | ||

I don't really blame the streamers because they don't really need to have stream platform loyalty since they need to earn as much as they can, but it is a shame they will never see that money now. Long live twitch though! I've always liked them more than own3d since they've always had a better service and never seemed like a shady company like own3d. | ||

I liked own3d before when twitch had problems with servers (lag) in Europe, and there was the competitiveness between the companys. | ||

Hope Azubu's platform does pretty well, even if Twitch is pretty good, it's always bad to monopolize a market. Also, a bit unrelated: will this affect The Defense in any way? Considering they were one of the sponsors... | ||

Odd because I hated JustinTV at the beginning for being poor quality, but they seem to have turned it around with the introduction of twitch. With the bad press they have had recently about not paying their partners, I am not surprised at this announcement. I still remember the days when people had to stream from their own internet connection to loads of people  Ya if you go to the current twitch site its basically the same as it was 2 years ago- very crappy. I guess they are putting all theyre resources into Twitch to focus on gaming. Hopefully Azubu has a good streaming system. | ||

As the first livestreaming portal for gamers Going off on a slight tangent here but this is a blatant lie. I've had a site for aggregating streams from other streaming services (Justin.tv and Ustream.tv initially) with a focus on gaming streams since well before own3d was around. One of the big things we did early on was having a much easier to manage chat, which has since been made redundant by Twitch's chat improvements. Our domain name was registered on 5 December 2007. own3d.tv was registered on 22 January 2009. Just because we never got hugely popular outside our initial target of Rock Band and Guitar Hero streams from ScoreHero doesn't mean we weren't there earlier. :| Our lack of activity has led the site to be pretty dead in recent years, but proof of earlier activity is readily available. | ||
