If they do acquire Twitch I hope that they still let it run separately and just improve the back end (as while it has improved it still lags for a lot of people around the world).
I worry if they tried to roll it into youtube that it would turn people away. Their numbers are pretty dependent on a small number of League/ Dota/ Hearthstone and a few other games casters and steamers.
- kawsper 12y agoI agree, Twitch livestreams is unwatchable for me most of the times I have tried to use it. Youtube on the other hand, while available, have worked quite good.
- Trufa 12y agoIt's funny that my experience is the complete opposite, I wonder if it's just our confirmation bias, or the fact that we are too small a sample. It could also be that us being in different countries (I assume) impacts a lot in our experiences.
- baby 12y agoHere in France both twitch and youtube are both unusable if you're using some providers like Free.
- kawsper 12y agoI didn't provide enough information, streaming from both Twitch and Youtube works flawlessly from London where I am located now.
- robryan 12y agoYeah, different countries/ providers really impacts peoples experience. On the whole it does seem to be better for more people now though.
- onewaystreet 12y agoThere's something wrong on your end because Twitch's streams haven't had problems since they introduced the 30 second delay last year.
