you must have forgot that entire debacle regarding G+ integration into youtube

Google+ integration incoming

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.

yeah because Google directly owns Youtube it can do what it wants to it. Youtube owns Twitch though, so there's an entire extra layer of people you have to go through if you're Google. How does this mean Youtube will allow Twitch to be fouled by G+?

edit: a site can be owned and not touched you guys. It's not hard.

Twitch's terms of service are about to get a lot longer. :/

sry I was supposed to do this respectfully or something rite? cause this is ct
rite?????

edit: okay seriously though it's like you're trying really hard to ignore the logic in what I said. It's not hard. Google owns Youtube. Youtube owns Twitch. Google doesn't own Twitch. Just because it owns Youtube doesn't mean it's automatically assumed it owns Twitch. Furthermore, it can't be assumed that Google will use/pay Youtube to change Twitch.

I asked this at the beginning of the thread. Why are people assuming that Youtube and Google are synonymous?

But seriously though, Pseudo; Google owns Youtube. Therefore, when Youtube buys Twitch, Google will also own Twitch.

That's just how it works.

Was going to say that this is what we hoped for when Google initially bought YouTube, but that was not the case.

Yo, if Twitch does change for the worst. I think what DarkBearX shared would be the new place to go.

It happened with Justin.tv when Twitch.tv was starting. Might happen again if people don't like how the wind's blowing.

i bet the people who ran own3d feel really fucking stupid right now

So are CT threads the only place that warrant "respected" action? Am I interpreting that correctly? Because that's literally retarded.

maybe because they are?

They are ran on the same servers by the same company and the same people and the same will be done with Twitch.
