Twitch CEO Emmett Shear Announced they are being Acquired

Three years ago Twitch.tv didn’t exist, now they are the most popular platform for live streaming your games.  Twitch CEO Emmett Shear Announced they are being acquired by Amazon.

Emmett said “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. We’re keeping most everything the same: our office, our employees, our brand, and most importantly our independence. But with Amazon’s support we’ll have the resources to bring you an even better Twitch.”

What does this mean for Twitch? We can only wait and see, Amazon is a nice backer to have and their platform is extremely robust. If anything Amazon can help make Twitch a better experience and platform for its users and make it even more accessible. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
