For those who questioned the legitimacy of eSports, Google’s
venture to purchase video game-streaming company and promoter of eSport
content, Twitch, will put any of their arguments to rest.
According to a report from Variety, YouTube is looking to
acquire Twitch for more than $1 billion. The rumored deal is supposedly an
all-cash offer and the announcement of the acquisition is to be announced
“imminently”.
Since YouTube is the dominant
force in the online-video market, the company is prepping to combat U.S.
regulators that may deem the deal to broach monopolistic issues.
