It's interesting how anything related to the gaming space is still impenetrable by the usual SV tech giants. Arguably that is also why the market space for gaming is still generally healthy and consumer-focused, rather than some monopolistic monstrosity finding new and creative ways to steal your info.
- WorldMaker 4y agoTwitch is an arm of Amazon, which is maybe "consumer-focused" but hard to argue that it isn't a usual SV tech giant or it isn't a "monopolistic monstrosity finding new and creative ways to steal your info". Sure, it was an acquisition, but so was YouTube. Since acquisition it has gained near monopoly power over the streaming industry, defeating both Mixer (which was an independent startup, similarly acquired by big tech, and then spun down) and now Facebook Gaming. This doesn't seem healthy for gaming to me to have only one provider left standing for game streaming.
