i don't think its good for a monopoly to expand like this but iunno about money or things

This is stupider than Oculus rift selling for 2 billion. Though not as bad.

Twitch is lame anyways. People are going to a website to see people play a videogame, all while asking for donations.

okay google seriously need to stop

I was about to make this thread;

This creates a serious issue. Youtube already has no competition even worth pointing out, with this acquisition (and might I point out that Twitch is worth more than $1b) Youtube/google will be an unstoppable force.

forget this stuff.
