Damn!

I really don't get it...I can watch game streams for maybe a minute tops.

I basically use Twitch to see if I will like a game or not. Rental is pretty much a thing of the past Redbox is a joke, same for Gamefly and every major rental store has closed in my area. It has saved me a few bucks lol...

Hope they keep everything the same. I really like Twitch. Ever since I got my PS4 I've used it a lot to just randomly broadcast or watch stuff. Pretty cool.

I like twitch so I hope Google/YouTube doesn't screw it up. YouTube has had a lot of issues with gamers recently, it seems.

Plus several people are making a living off of gaming/streaming. Crazy as it sounds...

It does sound crazy, but there are people out there who make a killing with their streaming of simply playing their games.

Wow... Twitch ranked 4th in peak internet traffic, ahead of Valve, Facebook, Hulu - GameSpot

It's amazing what some of the top Youtube video game people make. BRB quiting my job to start up a Youtube channel.
