I know this might be a stupid question, but didn't Google bought Twitch?

I guess everyone's buying Twitch! Call right now, and we'll double the offer!

Hurry, while supplies last!

The google acquisition was just a rumor if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain it was never official.

Well, I was assuming that it actually did happen due to Polaris mentioning something about Twitch cracking down on copyright infringement. Since that was the big problem people had with Google buying Twitch, you could see why I was thinking that, right?

personally I find it probably won't be much of a change from what it is now.

The buyout was mostly a backend buyout from what I've read. Same staff, same offices, same old. It may see a decent volume of improvements and there may be a bigger cut to have Amazon get their money back. Probably some more ads on pages.
Tsunami Bomb - The Simple Truth
We could run away
Leave behind anything paper
Not knowing where we're going to stay
When there's no Mondays

You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm and sorrow too
You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved when I'm with you
