[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7711202, member: 5100"] I certainly didn't. For all I knew, they were a start-up in someone's basement that may or may not have been vetted by anyone at WotC. Not really any skin off my nose, during the beta. I was certainly surprised that I needed a Twitch account. Honestly, I still don't really know what Twitch does. I gather it has something to do with MMOs, which I generally despise (I do like Arena mode on Smite, but that's about it). Actually looking at the Curse site makes it clear that it's owned by Twitch, though I wouldn't have gambled on that being the right Curse site [U]before[/U] I'd been told that they were owned by Twitch. Looking at the Twitch site, now that I have a Twitch account, I still can't tell what they do beyond stream some games. I can't even figure out if they have other subsidiaries like Curse that I might care about. I also don't see anywhere that they're owned by Amazon. I think folks who are somehow already invested in/aware of the Twitch brand family are making some pretty big assumptions about what others should know. [/QUOTE]
