Twitch was surprisingly purchased this week by Amazon for reasons that are not completely known. Some have even speculated that Amazon bought Twitch just to keep it out of Google’s hands. Google (YouTube) was probably a viable fit for Twitch, but we think Apple should have been the one to pull the trigger – here is why.
A live-action "Life Is Strange" TV series has been greenlit at Amazon Prime Video, Variety has learned exclusively.
Amazon has spent the last 15 years plus trying to disrupt Steam's gaming market, but have ultimately failed to "crack the code."
If you're an active Amazon Prime member, here's a big collection of games you can grab for free right now for your Steam Deck or gaming PC.
It would be an odd move by Apple. Apart from improving brand image (which I don't think will do much) what does Twitch do for Apple? Possibly music sales but the main focus is something Apple is in (gaming).
Amazon's purchase make a lot sense. They are the one big company to gain the most from the purchase
I dont find any of these reasons compelling for why Apple should have bought Twitch.
So they could mess it up and charge you for it? no thanks.
They don't even know about any other type of video other than .mp4, how would they even realize twitch exist?
No!!!!
Do people use their brains when they write any more? This is so far from what Apple actually does.
I'm also a little surprised that Amazon actually picked this up, but I guess them trying to get into the gaming industry may be part of this.
