Google has reportedly signed a deal to acquire Twitch for $1 billion, reports VentureBeat.
We don’t know everything about this deal, such as when it will be announced and the exact purchase price. We do know that Twitch investors who participated in past rounds are pleased that they will be getting significant returns that are multiple times the amount they originally invested. The deal underscores the value of live Internet streaming and the rise of competitive gaming as a spectator sport — something that draws millions of viewers, can offer prize pools that surpass pro golf’s marquee events, and provides a multibillion dollar opportunity for advertisers.
Twitch lets gamers live stream their play. You can watch live broadcasts and chat with players via their app for iPhone and iPad.
