FLEEEEEEEEEEEEE RUN TO THE HILLS No seriously, I am upset. This is a fkn monopoly, like the bullshit Comcast Time Warner merge. They're even buying them IN CASH. ____________________ "I hate playing musical chats" ~ Quote of the month |

While i don't think a monopoly is ever good, theres a small chance google might do something good with twitch. Not change the brand, and keep it as is, only adding more and better integration to youtube, even though youtube needs better layout and a whole redo overall first. |

Posted by NWPlayer123 My initial reaction to this news is: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! But after a little thinking i'm guessing Google won't completely ruin it but improve it a little assuming that Google learned anything from YouTube. ____________________ You can tell I'm testing new avatars.

Posted by Gmanextreme9 You're guessing wrong. Have you seen the 'in reply to BlargUser' links in Youtube comment threads? They're still broken. Expect Twitch's usability to decrease over time as Google's incompetent programmers fuck it up more and more. I sure as hell hope they never buy Facebook. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Posted by StapleButter I also said "assuming" they learn. But we all know they probably learned absolutely NOTHING from YouTube. So Twitch as we know it is dead if Google buys. ____________________ You can tell I'm testing new avatars. Status: Totally didn't change this, nothing to see here. |

Posted by Gmanextreme9 Then Posted by Gmanextreme9 Quick change of mind there. Well, Twitch in my opinion I've heard from streamers that has great support, but in my opinion, twitch's user experience wasn't too good, giving so much priority to subscribers. |

Well, this sucks. But I suppose that YouTube will actually make live streaming work on mobile.

Now they can finally invest money in improving the UI, because damn, it is horrible. ____________________ |

Posted by Degolegodyl I know. I was referring to YouTube livestreaming, which, believe it or not, does exist. |

Posted by StapleButter Excuse me but Twitches current layout is bull crap. There are dozens of different menus all over the place. ____________________ |

Posted by StapleButter Imagine if you had to use Google+ on twitch; That would be TERRIBLE! |

Google's already working on making twitch impossible to use, don't worry, google+ is top priority on their list |

Hm, I don't really use Twitch, the only times I used it were to watch TwitchPlaysPokemon, and I think once to watch someone like SmoothMcGroove stream? I actually feel like Google could improve Twitch. ____________________

I love watching CS GO tournaments and matches on there. That and if some stream of an event happens, like E3, that's important to me. |
