ALPHA17 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 ^ They are still in early stage of talks, as of now Twitch is free to raise more funding from other sources. Sent from my ST27i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 This will very probably ruin twitch. Seriously piss off Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 This will very probably ruin twitch. Seriously piss off Google. It is being looked at from the anti-competitive law's point of view as well in the US. Hopefully the owners of Twitch will get enough backing to continue independently.

Shadoken Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Is twitch only worth 1bn? I feel like they have much bigger potential. They just entered the console space and would be huge once these next gen systems hit a 100m userbase. Not to mention the growing popularity of competitive video games.

piper Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Ever since Whatsapp was bought for that damn high amount, no one is going to sell for so less if they are popular in terms of number of users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
