When Google starts caring more live stream gaming, Twitch is going to bite the dust. http://fxoboss.tumblr.com/post/26261398738/fxopen-e-sports-recent-changes Cause as fxo boss pointed out last year, Youtube live streams don't allow third party sponsorships, so all those fancy overlays with sponsors on them would be banned if streamed on youtube, which defeats the purpose of streaming for teams. You should also note that Youtube streams have a STRICT policy of not showing third party sponsorships on stream. So our overlays on the video embed will NEVER have anything but FXOpen on them. This is a reason why no other team will want to use them as it doesn’t allow for sponsor exposure. | ||

Also I have to say the following: When I read things like "Twitch gettin to popular" or "we need a good competitor for twitch" and "Twitch is going to bite the dust" I have the feeling, that people look down to Twitch as a bad "thing" (now). Sure, competition is good and I also think there have to be more that one popular streaming company but I think you have to keep in mind, that Twitch once was the alternative for own3d and that it was/is good. (Problems will always be there, like Twitch had in several tournaments, as you maybe noticed). In the end, e-sports really matters, not streaming software/ company. Just my 2 cents (: | ||

Its nearly not possible to save all those VODs, if you have more then just 3 or 4 of them. Well if a company goes bankrupt, operations usually stop very fast | ||

It gets incredible complicated at this point since they might not be able to pay anyone even if they wanted to. When you go bankrupt you also lose power over your own company regarding what choices to be made so it could very well be that someone else is overseeing the bankruptcy process and actually is preventing the owner of giving money to the parties involved since that in itself could affect the bankrupt process in a negative way. | ||
