And what makes you say that? Are you missing the point that if twitch does get bought twitch will no longer be the same site it is now?
Was youtube the same? No... was it still youtube? Yes. I bet it will hardly change and maybe for the better, it also is good for gaming/esports that a gaming streaming site got bought out for a billion, thats with a B. But everyone just bitching about how it will probably be slightly harder to troll now

Nah its not about the trolling. I just hope the Youtube transitions doesn't come to Twitch. Google+ account sign in requirements. Real name or twitch name after that reminds you every time that you can use your real name if you want. Youtube shitty video compression and copyright enforcement.

If they just help with ads and servers then cool

Everyone will use that stream service Perfect Legend uses Azubu or w/e it's called.
No, because they only give notable players streaming privileges.

Google buying out Twitch is good in some instances. Good in that Google has a fuck-ton of money for more servers and other stuff, so maybe less flooding.

Pig tweeted about this last night, and I responded with something I cant say on here...
I will say that I'm all about deading stream monsters that want to remain anonymous.
I like google. This might not be a bad thing. In fact it could be a great thing for the FGC. Guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

I swear the average age of TYM is 12
And so is their IQ. This place used to be a really good resource for Mortal Kombat information, but now it's turning into a joke. The vast majority of people that post here are either some type of trolls or haters, or both, and as a result any meaningful conversation instantly gets derailed into a toxic flame war. Furthermore, it seems everybody is a mod these days. Regular message board threads get promoted "just 'cause", people shamelessly promote their own threads, front page articles are rife with poor grammar and spelling, etc.

Yea. Kind of sad really. I find myself gravitating towards TRMK more and more lately. At least their front page looks more professional.

@STORMS, @AK RM Blake there is a really neat feature on the GameFaqs.com message boards called Ignore User. If you, for whatever reason, prefer not to see somebody's threads and messages, you simple add them to your Ignore list. I believe such a feature would do wonders for TYM. I like TYM a lot, it's still my favorite Website for MK info, but it makes me sad to see it go down the drain like this. That is why I am offering constructive criticism and a suggestion on how to improve it.

Never mind, I see an Ignore feature here as well.

Looks like nothing will change aside from what has already been added with the music copyright bs.

Best case scenario honestly. We can't just have things like they were before. This was bound to happen.
