I'm pretty sure they're only killing this because it's going to compete with Stadia whenever it gets released.

  Stadia/YouTube stands a very good chance at being a Twitch killer. Gaming is natively digital, so linking that data in a native way will make life very hard for Twitch.

    Twitch is more than just game-streams and overall works well now. What relevant difference can stadia make? AFAIK it's just a cloud-service, not something that fundamentally would change the game-experience?

      You can directly link into and share game states. I presume that a variety of interactive observer modes would also be fairly trivial to accomplish based on their architecture. This experience will be significantly different to normal YouTube and Twitch. It won't kill Twitch, but the viewing method will be different and likely eat into their market.
