I thought Google bought Twitch.tv?

That's surprising. They actually bought it for over a billion though. But did they really buy it in cash?

It's in the talks, not 100% but man... been with Twitch.tv since the beginning and their views have went from 1,000 people on popular streamers... To having a solid 200,000 people on during the times where it's "dead". And over 500,000 on during their peak times, and when tournaments come into play it's surpassing 1,000,000.

 

Crazy stuff.

All cash just means no stock options, inb4 people start to visualize trucks full of money.

Cash money son. They want that shit and they want it now. Kind of sad to see a buy out this quick though. Owner was obviously ready for that cash stack, If fuckin' Snapchat can turn down a 3billion dollar buyout offer from Facebook would have thought these guys can hang on a little long. Unless it's cash and they are also going to be part owners or profit sharing as well, but since it is a strictly cash buy out, sounds like they are buying out all invested individuals and going 100% owned by Amazon.

 

 

Should have became publicly traded if anything.

If you think about it, what else do you need? But they really didn't hold out, are ready for the cash stacks and no work or perhaps investing elsewhere.

 

I'd have held out, it's a very obvious big thing that is only going upwards not ever staying stagnant.

Just like samsung paid apple $1b in 5 cents
