Fans of watching Twitch.tv streams, and those who like to make purchases online will be happy to hear that Amazon is offering "Twitch Prime" to its Prime subscribers, according to a recent company meeting. Those who use Twitch Prime will get a free channel subscription every month, which allows users to support their favorite channel, as well as getting free exclusive emotes, removal of all ads, 20% discounts on all physical game pre orders (This has been a feature for American Amazon users for some time, but it now extends to those outside the USA), and "free game loot". If you're a current Prime subscriber and want to take advantage of the benefits, you can go to the link below and merge the two accounts.

Here it is: Twitch Prime is a new premium experience on Twitch that is included with Amazon Prime. As a Twitch Prime member, you get free game loot every month, like instant access to the newest Hearthstone hero, Tyrande Whisperwind, or the new indie game, Streamline. You also receive discounts on new-release box games sold by Amazon during the pre-order period and for the first two weeks after launch. And on Twitch, once you link your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account, you get an ad-free viewing experience, exclusive emotes and chat badge, and one free channel subscription every 30 days. When Twitch Prime members use their free channel subscription every month, the streamer gets paid just like any other subscription, so this introduces a new way to help support the streamers you love, even if you’ve never subscribed before. Or, you can just use it for crashing subscriber-only chat rooms. Your choice, boss!

I knew Twitch was doomed as soon as Amazon bought it.

R.I.P Twitch.

How is it even close to being doomed?

I was trying to pull some insane, bullshit reason outta my ass to use as a joke, but I seriously can't think of anything. I can't see how this spells doom for Twitch at all.

Amazon Prime is a success because it covers a huge variety of customers, Twitch Prime won't. Target audience of Twitch are people who watch others playing games and the likes so that comes down to kids and subscribers of those folks that love seeing them doing what they do.

"Let's Plays" are not my thing so I'd never pay for it nor be really interested.

I'd like to point out 3 facts:
Pewdiepie is the biggest youtube channel, and more and more kids grow up WATCHING, rather than playing videogames (as idiotic as that sounds to me, but it's a reality, plus the myriad of minecraft channels)
Camwhores are streaming "playing games" on twitch because the site is so big they make more buck pretending to play games on a videogame PEGI website than getting naked on actual cam sites
It's bonuses in the form of digital goods, so the "zero" costs can't easily make this fail, nor does it need to make billions to be profitable (yes digital keys come with a cost and have a finite number, but you get my point, the individual cost is virtually just the bandwidth as opposed to prime's physical value that is free shipping among other things)
