Assuming this is all true (the article is sourced poorly): Justin and team very much congratulated, that was a long road from justin.tv to twitch.tv and now an exit of this magnitude.<p>Hard-won, <i>very</i> much deserved, also a case study for a successful pivot.<p>&quot; We do know that Twitch investors who participated in past rounds are pleased that they will be getting significant returns that are multiple times the amount they originally invested. &quot;<p>Suggests that it was one of the investors that leaked the story to venturebeat, pretty classless, and really not-done in those circles.

The (forced) merge of my YouTube account with Google account was one of the most painful experiences I&#x27;ve had to undergo and I still suffer from issues and annoyances that has brought about.<p>I can&#x27;t be excited about this acquisition because all I can think about is how they are about to slowly and painfully destroy the Twitch experience. What can we expect? Forced merge of Twitch accounts? A forced G+ page for every channel? Some kind of horrible Hangouts integration? Real name policy and its reversal in 3 years? Share this stream with your circles? Pervasive ad infestation? Exceptionally annoying wiggling bell on top right that demands my attention just to let me know that some person I&#x27;ve never heard of has invited me to an event I&#x27;ve never heard of on Google+? A new &quot;clean&#x2F;functional&#x2F;consistent&quot; interface that changes often and only gets monotonically worse over time?

&quot;In March, Twitch represented 1.35 percent of all Internet traffic&quot;<p>Wow, I didn&#x27;t realize Twitch had that much traffic. That&#x27;s something to be proud of.

Is this going to lead to a crack down on playing unlicensed, non-royalty free music on streams?

where the definition of confirmed = &quot;an anonymous source says to a semi-accurate publication&quot;.

I am surprised that others concurrents let Google buy it considering it was the only &quot;serious alternative&quot; to some functionalities of youtube.<p>The monopoly of Google on video streaming is even stronger now

What&#x27;s going to happen to people streaming Nintendo Games? Are we going to have another youtube situation?

Congrats to team twitch. It was one of the first offices I walked into that made me wish I worked in a place like that. So much energy. So much fun.

Let&#x27;s imagine the worst case scenario:<p>Forced Google+ accounts with realnames. Because no-one uses an alias in gaming scene ever.<p>Automatic Content ID. Oh you played a bit of music even accidentally on background? Blocked.<p>Oh nintendo wanted to block your game stream (<a href="http://www.zeldauniverse.net/2013/05/16/nintendo-cracks-down-on-youtube-content-creators-with-new-content-id-policy/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zeldauniverse.net&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;16&#x2F;nintendo-cracks-down...</a>).<p>This game is not available in your country!<p>I know these are exaggerations. But at least some of them will be eventually implemented. That means it&#x27;s time to switch services. Anyone know of any good almost as easy to use one?

Will ycombinator receive anything from this as they initially funded justin.tv (where twitch spun off from)?

I was hoping for a Windows Phone Twitch app soon. I guess this kills any chances of it given how they refuse to make a Youtube App and even lawyered up a took down a Microsoft made one over a year ago with no sign of an official app still.<p>There is no place for Windows Phone in Google&#x27;s ever expanding empire.<p>Google&#x27;s Mission Statement: “To organize the world&#x27;s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”<p>They should tack on a &quot;,except on Windows Phone&quot; to that if they wanted to be truthful.

I hope at some point down the line this leads to the adoption of streaming VP8&#x2F;VP9 codecs and using an HTML5 player rather than the resource hog that is Flash.

I&#x27;m tempted not to believe it since it makes sense to me :-) But more seriously, back when I played WoW I spent many hours watching some of the tougher boss fights on Youtube. Automating that process is a great way to unify those page views. And its a fairly strong &#x27;you are a gamer&#x27; signal so probably a more valuable piece of advertising realestate.

&quot;You must be logged into Google+ to view this comment&quot; spam will be returning to twitch chats....<p>Either way, congrats to the team. As a long time user, I can&#x27;t help but feel that this will only hurt the twitch.tv experience in the long run though. Maybe the improved stability for other regions will be a large enough benefit to offset any other changes.

Sweet. That&#x27;s another website on which I&#x27;ll be fighting Google Accounts.

As expected there&#x27;s a ton of negativity towards Google in the comments here. Congrats to the Twitch team and I hope that Google and Twitch do some interesting things with this acquisition.

I&#x27;m imagining that within a few months Google will buy the twitch.com domain name.

Maybe Google can fix Twitch not working in 32-bit Chrome on Linux now. Or better yet, introduce HTML5 video.<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=295984" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;chromium&#x2F;issues&#x2F;detail?id=295984</a>
