Last month Amazon surprised us all by snapping up Twitch for a mere $1 billion dollars, after Google had been linked with the purchase of the streaming service for some time. Now it seems that the takeover has been completed and Twitch is now firmly under the control of its new Amazonian overlords, after the following SEC filing confirmed that deal has been done.
Amazon is continuing its expansion into the world of gaming, with the release of their Android-based console, Amazon Fire, as well as their expansion of Amazon Game Studios and the recent purchase of studios like Double Helix.
