We have seen a lot of acquisitions in recent time. Well this might not be a confirmed deal yet but we also heard that Twitter is rumored to acquire SoundCloud<\/a>. What is point of all the acquisitions? Well I guess the law of demand and attraction says it all. People want everything under just one button. But is this possible? Maybe or maybe not. But I am not here to discuss about the possibilities. I am here to talk about the latest rumor of Google\u2019s YouTube acquiring Twitch.<\/p>\n YouTube is reportedly going to acquire popular video game streaming service, Twitch. The acquisition is supposedly of more than $1 billion. The purpose of Twitch is that it allows gamers across platforms such as Xbox and Playstation, to share and watch live gameplay footage. Twitch claims to have more than 45 billion visitors a month. Well that shows the power of gaming spirit and its obsession.<\/p>\n
