frankly it can't be bad in any way because, while google scares the crap out of me- everything they do is amazing. all of their technology is near perfect. I'm glad it was google and not some wannabe like F****rburg

Considering CCP and Twitch are partners in some way...im sure this will have an impact. However, I'd imagine they just carry over with google and youtube.

I would like to also point out that google has not finalized any deals to buy twitch it is only being considered at this point. Thus you may want to edit your topic and OP to reflect that its potential buy out and not actually bought.

Personally, I'm waiting for Google to venture into restaurants.

Example: Google buys McDonalds, and the Happy Meal becomes the McGiggle.

Maybe they'd pay their employees a living wage if Google did buy them. Cool

Considering McDonald's official statement on the income they give their employees is "They can always get by with no electricity, a second job, and eating their meals off our dollar menu", anybody would be a better boss. (And yes, that statement was a real thing, McDonalds recommended that employees complaining about their wage should drop household appliances like a fridge, air conditioning, cable, ride the bus, get a second job, and eat primarily from the McDonalds Dollar menu if they wanted to have a livable wage)

Considering I live in the same country that has given the world Walmart and Duke energy, this doesn't surprise me in the least.

In-game music only from now on I guess, if you want to keep your videos up. Honestly thats probably a good thing, people have some awful taste in music...
