亚马逊收购游戏流媒体服务商Twitch

Source: enread 发布时间：2014-08-26 09:05

In a surprise move, Amazon has bought video-game streaming service Twitch for $970m.

美国亚马逊花费9.7亿美元收购视频游戏流媒体服务商Twitch，此举颇为出人意料。

Earlier in the year, Google's YouTube had been reported to be in late-stage acquisition talks for a similar amount.

Founded in 2011, Twitch - formerly known as Twitch.tv - allows users to watch other people play video games.

As of July of this year, the service had over 55 million unique monthly viewers.

"Broadcasting and watching gameplay is a global phenomenon and Twitch has built a platform that brings together tens of millions of people who watch billions of minutes of games each month," said Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos in a statement.

"We look forward to learning from them and helping them move even faster to build new services for the gaming community," he added.

Streaming wars

The move is seen by many analysts as helping Amazon in its quest to beat other streaming video sites like YouTube and Netflix.

Twitch allows users to broadcast snippets of their game play and its services are built into gaming platforms like Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One.

Amazon currently offers Prime subscribers access to streaming television and movies on its site, and has recently begun commissioning original programming - following in the footsteps of Netflix, which found success with House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.

Twitch adds a cadre of committed gamers to Amazon's potential audience.

The all-cash deal is one of the company's biggest acquisitions to date.

Amazon.com服务质量很好，我买了墨盒，不好用，直接退货，对方付钱。
刚开始商家不搭理我，我就complain了一下，商家立即跟我联系，说非常对不起，因为太忙，没顾得上，我只需要打印了label，贴在盒子上，到Fedex直接扔下就可以了。退货没花我一分钱，就是花了十几分钟，打印和包装，以及扔下盒子给Fedex公司。一家快寄公司。

亚马逊客服帮我适应各种英语口音，让我至少能和普通美国人说话一样快，甚至更快。
