 The rumor that Google pointed the interest of the company was not new and apparently even had some truth. A source close to the Mountain View company, heard by VentureBeat, announced the acquisition and revealed who will be paid billion (equivalent to 742 million euros) for the platform.
 

The Twitch was created in 2011 and today has more than 50 million customers daily consume 106 minutes of video, making it responsible for about 1.35% of Internet traffic worldwide. The company enjoyed success since its introduction, gaining 3.2 million customers in the first month of life. Allows players to transmit in direct challenges that are playing as if it were an event.
 

With the deal Google will integrate the company’s 152 employees in San Francisco. It also integrates justin.tv, a platform for online content delivery video, created years before by the same parents and in the meantime had been integrated into the platform.
 

For the Google business is an opportunity to increase the hours of use of YouTube, but also a way to deepen the connection with consumers of content in the living room, where Google has also tried to make place Chromecast through.
