Google's Deal to Buy Twitch

[Ayen]

I'm so confused. Basically every single news source was talking like Google already bought them. Well, at least now I know not to trust game news sites again.

Wait, so this means all the crap Twitch pulled in the past month was completely their own decision? It wasn't Google? What. So they were dicks before they got bought out? I don't even...

Also this.

I'm always torn on how I feel about Amazon because on the one hand they are just awful to their employees but on the other hand I've always had good experiences with them as a consumer (and as a freelancer who sells through them).

I watched a documentary showing how poorly one worker was treated by amazon with late shifts, strict working conditions and such. Then I noticed he got 150% of my wage for 32 hours a week of work. He got mighty compensated for his time, even though it was 12-8 four days a week or something like that.

I don't have an issue with amazon as a consumer. They do what I want the to do which is deliver me millions of games and DVDs. What it means for twitch I'm not sure, but I'm interested to see what it is they do.
