Twitch helped turn video game live streaming into a ridiculously popular business, which is why the website was acquired by Amazon last year for nearly a billion dollars, and now everyone wants a piece of the pie. The latest such company to enter the field is Gaming Live which will begin doing battle with Twitch today.
Gaming Live has launched the beta test of its game livestreaming platform as an alternative to Amazon’s Twitch. The Warsaw, Poland-based Gaming Live, which is part of the Seedcamp business accelerator, has announced it is going to launch a beta version of its platform “to battle Twitch” on Feb. 1. That won’t be an easy competition, as Twitch has pioneered livestreaming for e-sports and other gaming endeavors over the last few years. At last count, Twitch had 100 million monthly visitors. But Gaming Live is out to show that livestreaming can support more than one big company. Twitch grew so fast that it drew the attention of Amazon, which acquired the video service for $970 million last summer.
