How much do you guys wanna bet they will fuck around with the layout instead of the chat delay timing, and everyone is going to get anal about it because that's the way google rolls?

I'm confused though
is this Google buying Twitch, or Youtube buying Twitch? Or does one imply the other?

This channel has been shutdown for copyright infringment of the following songs:

Darude - Sandstorm
Avicii - Levels
Zedd - Clarity (ft. Foxes)

lmfao. Sad I can see this happening if youtube does buy twitch. And if youtube uses google + to sign into twitch as well.

YouTube is owned by Google but YouTube are the people who ultimately made the decision. So technically, it will be owned under YouTube which is owned by Google.

title. your thoughts?

Shitstorm, absolute shitstorm.

With all these monopolies on Google's end lately, I wonder what the employees and workers at Google are like. They must get paid well.

But how does this imply that Google owns Twitch? Even if it's by extension they didn't make the deal themselves, so I would imagine Youtube would have a great deal of control over what happens to Twitch.

edit: what I'm trying to ask is why people are assuming G+ will assimilate into Twitch (or anything else Google could do) when Youtube could make sure it stays an arm's length away from Google at all times.

Google+ integration incoming

Re: Youtube to buy Twitch for $1 billion

I still vividly remember how, each and every time Google made a change to Youtube, I was filled with indignance beyond comprehension.

And, if this happens to Twitch as well...

It feels as though horrors await. Another gem is going to be thrown into the black hole that is Google, and be consumed.
