RIP Twitch? This setup, quality, and pretty much everything else is better than Twitch.

YouTube Gaming

Features a DVR function so viewers can rewind back to 4 hours, better quality streams, instant chat interaction with no delay (can add delays of course too). App is also now available on iOS and Android.

No doubt Youtube does better with video compression than other sites

it will take a massive shift in "perception" - but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't happen at some time.

(I mean perception in the way people view youtube as the "after the fact" video service, and twitch as the NOW - also I think people view twitch as the gamers paradise much more than youtube as well)

Whelp. Twitch is fuuuuuucked if they don't up their game. Let's Play hosts won't have to worry about having separate accounts and having to announce it on social media that they are streaming. They can start it up and it will pop up in their followers' feeds.

I like Twitch, but YTG is awesome.

Oh and I can now watch stream while at work

YouTube's harsh copyright policy will prevent most the big name streamers from moving over from Twitch. Hopefully though it gets going enough to force Twitch to improve because they've become complacent without any real competition.
