Η Amazon bought her service Twitch για 970 εκατομμύρια δολάρια, σύμφωνα με ανακοινώσεις που εξέδωσαν και οι δύο εταιρείες.
This move is a surprise, as there were rumors that wanted Google to be close to closing an agreement with Twitch. Rumors have indicated that Google wanted to use the video game streaming service to boost YouTube, a service that already has a great gaming community.
It seems, however, that the Amazon decided to grab her company, taking her out of the way Google.
"I am pleased to announce that the Amazon. We chose Amazon because we believe in our community, we want to share our values and our long-term vision, and they will help us get there faster. We keep the most: our office, our employees, our brand name, and most importantly our independence. But with her support Amazon we'll have the resources to give you an even better Twitch,” reads one message posted by CEO of Twitch, Emmett Shear.
Η Twitch is one platform which allows users to broadcast live feeds of their gameplay and has approximately 55 million unique visitors each month who watch content created by approximately 1 million broadcasters.
"Broadcasting for gameplay is a global phenomenon and Twitch has created a platform that brings together tens of millions of people who watch billions of minutes of games each month. The amazing thing is that the service Twitch is just three years old, "said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazonon.com.
