damn, and for $30 million less than google. Must've been a warehouse deal.
I would've asked for the full billion.
Why did they only settle for the millions? Twitch has insane amounts of traffic shouldn't it be in the billions?
Is that good or bad?
I'm not sure that Amazon will be necessarily better then Google, but halting a possible monopoly makes this good news on it's own.
LOL! to all those people that jumped ship to Hitbox!
But Google can't have an avenue into your life unless you give them permission.Beats giving Google another avenue to spy into my life.
LOL! to all those people that jumped ship to Hitbox!
How does this change the situation in any way? The archive changes are still in place.
Insane amounts of traffic do not equal revenue. What they do equal is very high bandwidth costs.
Add into that the chance that game companies could begin suing to shut down streams at any time, which kills your entire business, and you have a very unstable market.
Honestly, I'm kind of shocked it was worth even this much.
Hey Hitbox. How ya doin?
?LOL! to all those people that jumped ship to Hitbox!
Well, I can seem them incorporating Twitch into Amazon's infrastructure pretty easily -- one-click buys of any games you're currently watching on Twitch, an Amazon Prime membership allowing certain advantages (video hosting, etc). It kind of makes sense.
Amazon pissing money away here. Shareholders should be asking why.
How does this change the situation in any way? The archive changes are still in place and we don't know how Amazon's takeover will pan out.
I think the same.I think this is a worse scenario than Google being the buyer.
Seriously. If you're getting 970 you might as well just round that bitch up to the full Ben.
?
People jumped ship due to Twitch's changes in vod policy and the audio recognition business, unless Amazon orders twitch to revert these (unlikely), the switch is still justified.
Hey Hitbox. How ya doin?
LOL! to all those people that jumped ship to Hitbox!
I was trying to state that I still think Hitbox is looking like the better option right now. My change is still justified.
