亞馬遜公司周一發(fā)表消息,它以9.7億美元收購視頻網站Twitch,值得一提的是Twitch在短短三年內建立一個每個月吸引數以百萬計訪客的平臺。
據報道,谷歌上個月高達10億美元收購了該網站,但是周一早些時候有報道稱,接近交易日,，亞馬遜也加入了Twitch的收購對話,。
如果能夠吸引谷歌或亞馬遜收購，Twitch顯然有很大的吸金潛力,。但一個視頻游戲直播網站是如何變得如此可能有利可圖?
Twitch的產生

人們在Twitch可以建立自己的渠道：上傳自己的視頻,玩電腦游戲,提供音頻視頻評論,，還可以主持游戲播客和節(jié)目,。
網站也有許多電子競技比賽直播。

即使亞馬遜的火電視也有Twitch的APP應用程序,。
例如,，在第四頻道只要按下分享按鈕,就可分享一些游戲到Twitch上。
人們喜歡看別人玩游戲和發(fā)表評論,。
瑞典的YouTube 明星Felix Kjellberg在這種模式下,，通過PewDiePie頻道每年約有400萬美元的廣告銷售。
像其他的視頻網站一樣,Twitch為其用戶提供了一個合作伙伴計劃,。只要他們愿意Twitch的用戶可以一天24小時瀏覽他們的視頻網站,。

Here's Why Amazon Just Paid Nearly $1 Billion For A Site wher You Watch People Play Video Games
Twitch obviously has the potential to make a lot of money if it's attracting buyers like Google and Amazon. But how did a video game live-streaming site become so potentially lucrative anyway?
What Is Twitch?
Twitch CEO Emmett Shear.
Twitch launched in 2011 as a branch of Justin.tv, a popular video-streaming site. Twitch was focused on video-game-related content.
People can create their own channels, wher they upload footage of themselves playing video games while sometimes providing audio commentary over the footage. In some cases, people host video-game podcasts and shows.
The site is also wher many e-sports competitions are broadcast live.
Users get their own channel pages, which include a built-in chat room for the players and the viewers to interact.
How Big Is It?
Twitch is huge. In an April report, it accounted for more than 40% of live-streaming traffic by volume in the U.S., according to online video analytics site Qwilt. That made it the No. 1 live-streaming platform by a large margin.

BI Intelligence
In February, Twitch was fourth in peak internet traffic in the U.S. after Netflix, Google, and Apple, respectively. At 1.8%, it was bigger than Hulu, Amazon, and Facebook in peak traffic.
And that's only in the U.S. According to Qwilt, Twitch ranks in the top five video-entertainment sites across the globe. That's huge for a site that's only related to video gaming.
Twitch is now so big that Justin.tv shut down Aug. 5, saying that Twitch was now the focus of its resources, according to CNET.
Why Is It So Big?
According to its own report, in 2013, 58% of Twitch users spent more than 20 hours a week watching videos on the site.

Even Amazon's Fire TV has a Twitch app.
On the PlayStation 4, for example, sharing some gameplay action to Twitch is as easy as pressing a share button.
People love watching other people play games and commenting on them.
Felix Kjellberg, the Swedish YouTube star behind the channel PewDiePie, makes about $4 million a year in ad sales doing just that.
Much like other video sites, Twitch offers a partner program for its users. And Twitch users can stream footage on the site for as long as they want, even 24 hours a day.
E-sports is another huge moneymaker for Twitch. People flock to Twitch to watch live streaming of their favorite video game tournaments, such as "League of Legends" and "StarCraft."
Some Cool Things Happening On Twitch
