After Google's failed attempt to acquire the live game streaming company Twitch (which went to Amazon instead), it's now aiming to relaunch YouTube's streaming feature with a focus on games and eSports, reports The Daily Dot. YouTube's been in the live streaming market since 2010, and it's scored some major events like the State of the Union and the League of Legends Championship Series, but it's not nearly as robust and easy to use as Twitch. That site has basically has become the de facto way to share gaming experiences over the past four years. In fact, it's grown so large that even the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One include Twitch integration and apps (and it's also powering all of Engadget's game streams). Sources say Google has already built up a team of 50 engineers to revamp YouTube's live component, and it could make an official announcement during the E3 gaming convention in June.
A lot of people are attending for a game streaming now, and a number of viewers for game streaming has increased. Although Youtube is great place to share movies, in a field of game streaming, Twitch has great influence as ever. But I believe Youtube already has ability to compete with Twitch, and they can give a chance to join easily many people to the field.
I wish the business of game streaming will be extend through efforts like google's tries making more great platform for game streaming.
