Amazonの買収が止まらない。
ゲームプレイの映像を共有サイトを今度は買収。
ネットゲームの延長なのかもしれない。
ITの世界で、流行りはじめのものはすべて抑える方向？？
キンドルやスマホのコンテンツを抑えるという意味はあるのだろう。
人をつなぐツールというところもかかわりたいとAmazonが考える理由だろうか。
BBCより。

In a surprise move, Amazon has bought video-game streaming service Twitch for $970m (£585m).
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.
