IMO, Google got it for pennies. Twitch is worth 10 times more, minimum. The add revenue alone will be in the billions.

Could see that coming months ago. There was some direct competition with youtube, so no more competition there since they are all part of the same company now.

Yea I'm not sure I like this at all. Seems like Google manages to screw everything up that they buy. I mean what's next...Google going to buy Walmart?

Cause otherwise we're going to just exist in a world of monopolies and companies that just exist to rob the dumb masses.

We probably are existing in a world of monopolies and such companies already. To me it started with the light bulb cartell back in the 19th century, if you have ever heard of it.

I just hope they don't interfere with people's choice of music playing on their streams.

Content Creators got to be pissed. Those revenue streams just got reduced. Google is not going to pay you twice.

I called it, Twitch Interactive Inc just shut down Justin.tv. I guess Google/Youtube did not want the extra baggage.
