Twitch tv 

I think it is great for the e-sport giant Twitch ,i just hope this does not mean more forced FB crap,although already has a FB type sign in page.

It sure seems like everything is being full circled into viral marketing ,site>FB>site and somewhere in there asking for your mobile number lol.

Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    More like massive amounts of "copyright lawsuits".

    Also "Please, log in to your Google+ account to watch Twict.TV" "Thank you, we will be displaying your real name in the chat".

    This is bad news for consumers. Less choice and less competition plus large companies tend not to handle sub-cultures well.

    damn....our children are going to witness the born of skynet........1 mega company owning 99% of the market.....

    1 by 1 they get bought up and nothing we can do about it :(
    cant blame them tough...who doesnt want to have a few million dollars in the pocket ?
    Whole world spins os that curency and without it you dont mean shit.

    Soon politics have no other way of being forced to listen to these mega corps....or they make the world economy collapse.

    Give it a 100 years before the rich owns 95% of the world and we are forced back into slavery or underpayed jobs.
    Scary tought......but not scifi anymore it seems.

    If this does happen. google will shoot themselves in the foot by enforcing strict copyright rules. Once that happens and top streamers get banned say good bye to twitch and hello to, Hitbox.tv

    Actually...

    the richest 1% own 50% of the world's wealth... while the 85 richest people on earth are worth as much as 50% of the poorest people on earth.

     

    So... can you do the math on that? lol

     

    EDIT:

     

    Anyways... what matters is... Google sure does knows its business damn. I dont really like the idea, but damn they're good. And facebook with that crap with the Oculus issue, I mean... it doesnt even make sense Facebook buying Oculus (besides the obvious spying shit) it doesnt really make sense for a company like facebook to own something like the Oculus Rift... its like they're keeping something from consumers hands on purpose... and for that reason alone I'm glad they have that issue with Zenimax Media... because at least Zenimax does something related to movies and television - facebook does not - facebook is an internet parasite thats scared shitless because its running out of blood.

    Yes its becomming more and more obvious as most country's import people to work for 6 euro per hour while normal rate here in holland is 13 euro minimal wage.
    Thousands of carpenters are at home due to this policy and yet we continue to close our eyes voting for these same people who import these people....

    In Europe the Euro made things a nightmare for common folks, wages stayed the same but food and bills almost doubled :P
    No wonder people are voting more and more on extreme party's, they get fed up with how things are getting worse and worse :(

    no jobs or jobs where you get underpayed, education not affordable anymore by alot of people with children.
    More and more bills and presure from depth collectors who make extra costs without and brake on it...

    Makes me wonder how long this will continue before people realise things need to change and fair wages need to be implemented.
    Minimal wage is already not cutting it, even in Holland we have 40% or 50% of our childern living in poverty and we are ranked as one of the richest country's in europe -_-

    Makes me sad to see what this world is becomming :(
