Yay!!!! I love Amazon and despise Google, so glad Google won't be buying Twitch and running it into the ground.

don't like this. i just know amazon is going to use this platform to promote fireTV. twitch, imo, should be owned by an impartial party like google who isn't going to doctor the results of the service to advocate for any platform.

Google would ruin twitch just like they did with youtube.
