Google no ha comprado Twitch, la ha comprado Amazon.

Cita:Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Twitch Interactive, Inc., the leading live video platform for gamers. In July, more than 55 million unique visitors viewed more than 15 billion minutes of content on Twitch produced by more than 1 million broadcasters, including individual gamers, pro players, publishers, developers, media outlets, conventions and stadium-filling esports organizations.

ÔÇ£Broadcasting and watching gameplay is a global phenomenon and Twitch has built a platform that brings together tens of millions of people who watch billions of minutes of games each month ÔÇô from The International, to breaking the world record for Mario, to gaming conferences like E3. And, amazingly, Twitch is only three years old,ÔÇØ said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. ÔÇ£Like Twitch, we obsess over customers and like to think differently, and we look forward to learning from them and helping them move even faster to build new services for the gaming community.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£Amazon and Twitch optimize for our customers first and are both believers in the future of gaming,ÔÇØ said Twitch CEO Emmett Shear. ÔÇ£Being part of Amazon will let us do even more for our community. We will be able to create tools and services faster than we could have independently. This change will mean great things for our community, and will let us bring Twitch to even more people around the world.ÔÇØ

Twitch launched in June 2011 to focus exclusively on live video for gamers. Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by TwitchÔÇÖs shareholders, Amazon will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Twitch for approximately $970 million in cash, as adjusted for the assumption of options and other items. Subject to customary closing conditions, the acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2014.

Mensaje oficial de Twitch:

Cita:Letter from the CEO August 25, 2014 Dear Twitch Community, ItÔÇÖs almost unbelievable that slightly more than 3 years ago, Twitch didnÔÇÖt exist. The moment we launched, we knew we had stumbled across something special. But what followed surprised us as much as anyone else, and the impact itÔÇÖs had on both the community and us has been truly profound. Your talent, your passion, your dedication to gaming, your memes, your brilliance - these have made Twitch what it is today. Every day, we strive to live up to the standard set by you, the community. We want to create the very best place to share your gaming and life online, and that mission continues to guide us. Together with you, weÔÇÖve found new ways of connecting developers and publishers with their fans. WeÔÇÖve created a whole new kind of career that lets people make a living sharing their love of games. WeÔÇÖve brought billions of hours of entertainment, laughter, joy and the occasional ragequit. I think we can all call that a pretty good start. Today, IÔÇÖm pleased to announce weÔÇÖve been acquired by Amazon. We chose Amazon because they believe in our community, they share our values and long-term vision, and they want to help us get there faster. WeÔÇÖre keeping most everything the same: our office, our employees, our brand, and most importantly our independence. But with AmazonÔÇÖs support weÔÇÖll have the resources to bring you an even better Twitch. I personally want to thank you, each and every member of the Twitch community, for what youÔÇÖve created. Thank you for putting your faith in us. Thank you for sticking with us through growing pains and stumbles. Thank you for bringing your very best to us and sharing it with the world. Thank you, from a group of gamers who never dreamed theyÔÇÖd get to help shape the face of the industry that we love so much. ItÔÇÖs dangerous to go alone. On behalf of myself and everyone else at Twitch, thank you for coming with us. Emmett Shear, CEO
