YouTube is (probably) buying Twitch for $1 billion
No deal has been finalized yet, but as first reported on Sunday by Variety, it appears that YouTube - and thus, Google, which owns the video-sharing behemoth - is poised to acquire popular video game streaming service Twitch for a cool $1 billion.Why would Twitch want to be purchased? According to The Verge, it's a question of scale. Twitch has simply proven so popular and grown so fast that it can't keep up with its success on its own. The recent integration of Twitch streaming into the PS4 and Xbox One couldn't have helped in that regard.Other companies have sniffed around looking to buy Twitch, including one who is already a major player in the video games industry: Microsoft. But The Verge's source claimed Twitch had no real desire to tie itself to one gaming ecosystem and may even have sold itself a little short in terms of its worth in order to merge with YouTube.

Thomas Was Alone arrives on iPads with an overhauled control scheme
Years after the geometric platformer released on the PC and Mac, and a few weeks after selling over a million copies, Thomas Was Alone is now available for iPads as well. The transition to the iPad comes with revised controls that the developer, Mike Bithell, designed specifically for the iPad in order to make playing Thomas Was Alone the most engaging experience possible.In an interview with Polygon, Bithell explained, why he chose to alternate the control scheme for the iPad release."On either side of the screen, we have these color balls that you put your thumb on in order to select which character you want to use. It's a really intuitive, easy thing that you can basically play the entire game without moving your hands."
This Week in China: Hearthstone is even bigger in Beijing
Everybody and their mother loves Hearthstone. Heck, I'm playing my custom mage deck as I type this. But if you think you and your friends are hooked, in China, the game is even bigger.Of course, video game addiction is no joke. This week in China a study surfaced about video game addiction in the country. The most interesting aspect in my opinion? That the collective term in CHina for such gamers seems to be "brain damaged", or so say our friends at Laohu.com.
Does Valve Even Look At What Games They Greenlight?
My original intention for this article was going to be a "best of the bunch" summary to cover the seventy-five games recently Greenlit on Steam. However, as I sorted through the list I discovered that a good chunk of those games were pretty...unimpressive, to put it politely. Hardly any of the games jumped out at me as looking particularly fun, let alone something I'd spend money on. A few of the games are so debatably bad looking that it makes me think that Valve didn't even look these games over before they gave them the greenlight.For awhile now, Valve has been approving batches of seventy-five games, every two weeks. That's 300 games in two months. That's 300 games that will be released through Steam on top of the triple-A publisher-supported games that are lucky enough to bypass the Steam Greenlight toll booth.Recent batches have yielded some really great games, and there are a few really great looking games sprinkled within this latest batch. But for the first time in Greenlight's history, this time around I felt like the unimpressive outweighed the impressive.
Pixel Heart Wants to Document the Lives of Six Incredible Gamemakers
Are developers and designers as interesting as the games they create? That's what the Pixel Heart project believes, and if it receives the crowdfunding it's currently seeking on Ulule.com, it will show the world via an ambitious multimedia project.It starts with a documentary that spends a week with six different developers in their own countries: Mark Healey of England (of LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway fame), Robin Hunicke of the U.S. (The Sims and Journey), Tetsuya Mizuguchi of Japan (Rez and Child of Eden), Edmundo Bordeu of Chile (Rock of Ages and Zeno Clash) and Eyram Tawia of Ghana (Africa's Legends). You may notice that's only five people, as a sixth developer from India is still to be determined.All six movie subjects will contribute something to the second part of the Pixel Heart plan, which is a game jam that will gather 100 developers in Paris for 48 hours. Split into 12 teams, the goal of the game jam is to create 12 new games, half of which will be PC fare while the other six aim for more immersive hardware like the Oculus Rift.First look at Flappy Bird creator’s next game
