Nothing. In the meantime there's billions to be made in the decades it would take for that to happen.

It is in a few test markets now and is coming to Raleigh/Durham which I am happy about but it will take a looong time before it can be up and running.

Amazon has acquired Twitch for 970 Million. And this isn't a rumor.

Thread title kinda needs an edit now.

I actually like this deal if they can tie it in with Amazon's streaming service.

Hopefully this means a significantly more stable service now, Amazon is swimming in Scrooge McDuck levels of money.

Wondering how they'll leverage amazon tech outside of infrastructure, that's a no-brainer. Bring in Amazon product page assets (images, reviews, checkout flow) and enable game purchases directly from Twitch? Embed twitch streams automagically on Amazon like Xbox One's store UI does? That last one is one of my favorite next gen features.

Good. Hopefully they won't mute all the archives now.

Aren't they deleting all the archives, with them only being kept 14 days, 60 of you are a paid user? That's the impression I had from an email about the purging.

Yes. You can only save highlights of up 2 hours in length now (and there's a utility on the twitch site that can help with editing longer videos to fit that).

OK. Thought I was the only who noticed this. Glad to hear you had this issue as well. I was broadcasting the show last weekend and noticed that my archived video was muted. My other show broadcasts from before the weekend were not muted however. I wonder what changed. I did link my twitch to my youtube account to be able to export my archive to youtube and I wonder if that was the reason it was muted.

I played a full game of mlb the show. There was a snippet of music used during a home run flash back. As a result the whole video was muted in the archive. That's ridiculous.

I had my account linked for months before this. First time it happened to me. I will just record on my elgato from now on.
