Nice to see twitch re-enabled Bitcoin payments. I can now resub to Hiko, my favorite CS:GO streamer <3. Definitely nice to see they've made sure to even get a nice and solid payment processer, I honestly thought they'd go with the Bitpay route. No longer do I have to buy prepaid cards!
If you don't know what Twitch is, it's a streaming site that allows people to stream their gameplay live, with a chat that has unique emotes! I definitely recommend you check it out if you haven't already- it's amazing. I recommend watching CS:GO (I've been a semi-pro; ex-premier on ESEA) if you don't already; the game is definitely unique and has lots of teamwork involved. Of course there's other games like Dota2 and LoL on there, but I primarily use it for watching CS:GO.

Nice to see this is back. The gaming community fits well with BTC obviously.
I don't even know what twitch is (I'll google in a sec), but this is cool. Looks like they accept everything else, so why not?
Have a lot of the other companies that were first to accept bitcoin stopped taking it? Like Dell and overstock? I confess I never spend bitcoin, but I totally support people who do.

It's a company owned by Amazon.com (no , Amazon will probably never accept Bitcoin as payment method since It's not the same thing) , Twitch is a website for gamers to stream , It's pretty much like YouTube but It's live streaming for gamers only.

Twitch removed Bitcoin at some point , and now they are adding it. As far as I know , they were dealing with Xsolla (which is a cross-platform payment) and since Xsolla disabled Bitcoin payments (as you can see here https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/425490/xsolla_doesnt_accept_bitcoin_anymore/ ) , users of Twitch was unable to use it.
Now , they partnered with Coinbase as you can see in the picture below and they are accepting Bitcoin once again :
