The YouTube Gaming site will drag all of the live streams and game-related videos into one place. People love watching and chatting about video games, and Alphabet/Google wants a piece of that pie.
Google reportedly got into the bidding for Twitch but Amazon won out at the end of the day. The site is a huge piece of Amazon’s e-commerce puzzle, with video game streams becoming real-time commercials for buying those games.
Here are some shots of the mobile and web versions of YouTube Gaming:

YouTube Gaming will be available on both iOS and Android, as well. The company is also launching an easier to start a live stream, in beta, tomorrow.
Frank Petterson, Engineering Manager on the project for YouTube, says “This is just the beginning.”

Looks a lot better than Twitch in my opinion.

I've told this before and I will say it again.
This won't be a huge success for YouTube for a few reasons.
1. All these huge streamers, do you expect them to just move over to YT? Lose all their viewers on twitch? People probably don't give a shit about YT, because the sense of twitch community isn't there.
2.Twitch is unique it has this sense of a community kinda like 4Chan, you have these people pretending to be retarded and saying stuff like "pls no copy pasterino" etc... while they want it to be copypasted. It's just fun to be silly sometimes.
There's more reasons but I cba to type them out, cause I can just link a relevant video (yes I have linked it before, but it's really relevant here)
