Here again is another billion dollar deal and another creation of billionares by google.The next generation of multimillionaires will truly be made by the internet.

This news comes just days after the end of this year's International, the Dota 2 tournament (which was streamed through Twitch) that offered a record prize pool of more than $10 million. Twitch is the United States' largest live-streaming website by far, according to a report released in April. The popularity of esports has risen dramatically in recent years; last year alone, more than 2.4 billion hours of esports content were viewed through services like Twitch.

Twitch allows streaming games to be viewed on computers, phones, tablets, and game consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (both of which offer the ability to stream games right from the systems). Streaming functionality is not available on the Wii U at this point because Nintendo doesn't see the value in it.

Anyway,recall that Google bought Twitch for $1 billion, according to Venture Beat. This is less than Google bought YouTube for in 2006 ($1.65 billion)

It's better than having facebook buy it.

The fourth largest traffic in America during peak periods...!


these guys have just made their first billion!

wao! So cool...the world is surely spinning around the internet.

Amazon still owns twitch. On August 25, 2014, they acquired it for US$970 million. Anyway, if you are member on the platform, you can allow pinkarmy to use their twitch viewer bot to promote your channel.
