If I had to guess, I would say that maybe youtube would allow twitch streamers to stream independently while using youtube in and of itself as a back-up. EDIT: I meant to say use youtube as an archiving system. | ||

It wasn't 60 FPS capable, but they changed that. Edit: nvm, it seems that live streaming is still in 30fps Anyway, the technology is there, so this should be easy to fix. | ||

Finally!!! Im pretty sure YouTube/Google whoever wont even touch the layout or anything, maybe add more things to link it to YouTube but it is going to be nothing to do with YouTube imo apart from an affiliate source to eachother. Twitch on its own generates money like YouTube does. Also the big part of this is whether the Justice system even allows this to happen as YouTube and Twitch is pretty much 90% of the internet streaming market lol? That is going take a while to go through if at all? Also, lol Microsoft was bidding for it ;o oh gosh. That probably would of been a cool outcome to see what they would of done to it haha  Glad it didn't go to someone like Zuckerberg though, probably would of switched to Afreeca if that happened And yeah gz to Twitch guys on becoming millionaires :D | ||

And I do every time I watch LCS. The YouTube experience is enough better. Live pause and rewind is amazing. Never miss the start of an event. Start watching 30mins "late" and skip all the breaks to catch up over time. | ||

But recently Nintendo threw a fit over YouTube awarding CPM to people who used Nintendo titles to increase their channel's viewership. So, youtube started giving all of that CPM money on youtube straight to Japan's pockets. Amazingly Nintendo did not try to do any such thing to twitch.tv. No lawsuits or threats or statements of that nature. I'm thinking everyone's biggest concern would be something like that happening to streamers - their money being taken from them at any given moment. | ||

But from a business point of view, if i were Twitch, i would sell it in a heartbeat. I mean come on..1 billion....that's more 0''s then most can count. So yea...let's not forget Twitch is a business first. | ||

No more snipealot I also wanted to bring this up. This is a big issue as well, but you might want to try looking in to douyu.tv, endy. I've heard that I can stream to this channel from outside of China and may one day be able to provide English broadcasts to it if you guys should want it. | ||

Youtube is a whole other beast. You can put videos there lifetime and can cover ANY subject possible including delicate ones for which some countries may feel it's a bad thing. We don't want them politicians to feel threatened by the "internet truth" don't we? Twitch is just for games. I honestly don't see how Twitch could ever be blocked in China as long as it continues doing what it did so far. Only difference now is u will see more adds then a teleshopping channel and also G+ integrated hardcore in it. What i truly wonder even tho i am not a streamer myself, is how this move will influence stream payment and so on. Will they decrease/stay/increase? do the conditions change and so on. Personally i think the biggest impact will be on the streamers themselves who a big majority of them earn their living from streaming. | ||

That's a dumb statement sry. I hope Google doesn't get their hands on it. I like watching Twitch on my Windows computer and if Google bought it then it would obviously go Chrome/Android only. Also I wish I had Skype for android. Also I wish Microsoft websites worked outside IE. | ||
