Based on this Guardian report, Google has closed a $1bn deal to acquire gaming video streaming site Twitch. This is the biggest acquisitions by Google since the 2006 YouTube purchase.
It is often easy to forget the existence and need of the video game player. Yet, this is a really big community. Twitch is born in a right time and right place with providing a method to video game players to watch how "gosu" plays.
Compare to YouTube, Twitch users have an amazing average video watching length of 106 minutes per day. It is certainly that Google will benefit a lot from this.
