Well Twitch, it was nice knowing you. R.I.P. Just look at Youtube's streaming service and the advances Google has made to Youtube the past years, Youtube hasn't progresses even a bit and is still filled with a shit ton bugs.

Also, this just shows you how nobody can do something amazing without getting bought by a giant. First Facebook buys Oculus Rift, now Google buys Twitch.

bad, very bad considering youtube's copyright infringement policies and the streamers who play copyright music.

hopefully this is just a rumor

Did I read that right? An all cash offer? What on earth does "over one billion" look like in cash?

Well, there goes Twitch. Hope you enjoy watching live streams of people playing checkers.

As long as there is no music in the background.

Damn, this sucks. The copyright infringement laws alone make this terrible news.

Will Twitch finally become usable? I have to watch on low when anything has more than 20k viewers even though i have 100mbps internet. Was Twitch designed only for Google fibre users or something :^)

Well, I liked Twitch.

That's the end of that I suppose :/

Sucks. I don't use Twitch very much and looks like I'll be using it even less in the future. Google expanding in any way these days is just horrible, usually for most consumers even.
