While I am happy for the Twitch employees on the news of acquisition, I fear this is going to hurt the user base more than it will help it. With the recent changes to VODs and music issues, people are already starting to leave. This news could push more people to leave. We've already seen services change after being acquired by a large corporation (YouTube is an often-cited example). The best case scenario is that the extra money helps to make the service better, but history has shown that that is not always the case.
