> I guess Twitch can stay in business for now.

I assume you're being sarcastic/coy, but for those that might not know, Amazon owns Twitch. I'm guessing this service is them white labeling Twitch's tech infrastructure, and priced such that someone could not make a Twitch competitor with reasonable profit margins.

And they wonder why people complain about anti-trust.
Well, i don't think there are rules that they have to offer their proprietary tech at wholesale. I think it's a problem that Amazon is so massive as to own this tech at all, but once you have it, i would believe it's better to sell it for profit than to keep it locked up
