Justin.tv Shuts Down Amid Reports Google Is Acquiring Twitch

Posted by Unknown on from the there-can-be-only-one dept.

An anonymous reader writes Twitch today announced that the Justin.tv website, mobile apps, and APIs are no longer in service. A very simple explanation is given for the shutdown: since rebranding the company to Twitch Interactive in February 2014, all resources are now focused on Twitch.tv. The news today will almost certainly further fuel the rumors that Google is acquiring, or has already acquired, Twitch. Purchases are often followed by consolidation, as well as cutting off any excess limbs.

    It will not be a problem. The left can always find people to hate. It is pretty much what they do.

    Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
