People that already pay for Amazon Prime (£79.99 P/A or £7.99 P/M) or are thinking of getting it, now get loads of awesome freebies with Twitch connectivity! Great for those who love the gaming and Twitch community. This months first freebie is a new hero for the Hearthstone game. Another of the freebies is a Twitch exclusive skin for Smite.

Founded in June 2011, Twitch is the world’s leading social video platform and community for gamers, video game culture, and the creative arts. Each day, close to 10 million visitors gather to watch and talk about video games and more than 2 million streamers. We invite you to join the millions of people who come to Twitch to stream, view, and interact around these shared passions together.

Currently a monthly sub to a channel costs over £4 from the UK, so that makes your Prime effectively half price if you cancel a current subscription and start afresh with the free one you get through Twitch prime, or just use it to support yet another of your favourite streamers!

Bonus in-game loot every month, plus surprises

You'll get characters, vehicles, skins, and boosts for games like Hearthstone and Smite, plus surprises like a copy of Streamline the day it launches.

Ad-free viewing plus a new channel subscription every 30 days

Support your favourite streamer, plus get exclusive emotes, more chat colours and crown yourself with the chat badge of royalty.

Also included with your Amazon Prime membership

Prime member discount on new release box games

Your member exclusive discount applies to pre-orders and collector’s editions, plus get pre-order price guarantee and release-day delivery.

Watch thousands of movies and TV shows

Including Amazon Originals like The Man in the High Castle, Mr Robot, and Transparent.

Crazy isn't it. You think that's mad, people pay sky £50 a month to watch people play football. They don't even get to play themselves for that. Madness!!

Erm, I have Amazon Prime, use Twitch but couldn't justify another subscription to another service, along with Netflix etc. I am now able to subscribe to Twitch for free, and support my favourite streamers....Win Win, and I didn't know about it before.

Thanks OP for bringing this to my attention. Makes Prime more worth it.

Normally I'd say "don't look a gift horse in the mouth", but these freebies are the gaming equivalent of Christmas cracker gifts. They are free for us Prime customers though so I may as well give it a go. :smiley:

I don't use twitch but I watch videos on YouTube of other gamers to learn from them, they are funny or entertaining etc etc your being naive in thinking you don't do something very similar ie watching telly paying to watch people talk to one another lol I mean it's what we do lol

it supports both the streamer, and keeps twitch running. Twitch takes 50% of the $4.99 and the streamer gets the other half. You also get a sub badge next to your name in that streamers chat, emotes exclusive to that channels subscriber which you can then use in any channel, and most channels have announcements for subs on screen and the streamer will say thanks to you live on the stream. So for free (if you already have Prime) its 100% worth doing to support your fav streamers and support twitch. If you're like me and you don't want TV, but watch streams, sometimes its nice to financially support those creating the content you're enjoying for free.

I've always "followed" gamers which allows easy access to watching them and is free, so what's the additional benefit of subscribing?

lasuil

2 Oct 16 1 #106

To watch is free yes. It's optional to 'subscribe' to a channel/broadcaster. It costs $4.99 USD a month to subscribe to 1 channel. You can subscribe to as many as you want. In the UK a subscription costs about £4 after they add the extra dollar and USD to gbp conversion. Twitch prime gives you 1 free subscription to a channel of your choice, every month.

Twitch is not for everyone, but for gamers it is a valuable tool. There is a great community. I have met some like minded people who have similar interests as me. I game to people from all over the globe. We chat. We have fun. It is more interactive than TV. You can watch a new game and decide if it is worth buying or pick up hints and tips for games you love. People become personalities on Twitch h with 10 or 20 thousand watching them. With this new Amazon incentive, simply having a Prime account enables you to support your favourite Streamer. Most watch, some broadcast as I do, but all in all its great for gamers. Twitch is built in to PS4 and Xb1 out of the box. Anyone can broadcast. It is deceptively difficult to do well. It is free to watch or broadcast.

Ok starting to see some logic. I honestly didn't get the concept and was interested because I have Prime. Still not for me but at least I understand what it offers. Sounds like a world I wasn't aware really existed but has serious following.

He's talking about twitch turbo, which is another service you can pay for on twitch. It means you have no ads on any channel and you get a special badge next to your name. It is more expensive than a channel subscription, which is $4.99 (EU/UK have to pay an extra dollar so it's $6)

84 people 'liked' your comment so I guess they too prefer to watch Let's Plays than play the actual game. I couldn't careless about football, basketball or even golf. I can't believe golf is a sport.

i myself occassionally watch gaming videos on youtube, but this is a complete disanalogy.

You can stream anything. You can even stream your own webcam

People mostly watch someone for their entertainment value. A lot of people will watch their favourite player stream because of their high skill level of that game. Because of this you can learn many things that will help you get better at a game you play. There is a huge skill level gap between the top players and you're every day casual gamer.

It's the same as youtube except live. 'Pewdiepie' has 48m youtube subscribers and got popular off of playing video games.

benlondon

1 Oct 16 #67

Well if you are interested in football and want to see the best players around the world then you kind of need to watch the TV, and unless you go through other means your only choice is to pay sky or BT, most people's enjoyment of football extends beyond kicking the ball about in the park

MrWani

1 Oct 16 1 #66

Thats true.... never understood people paying to watch Sky either. I've always preferred playing rather than watching. Goes for gaming and many other aspects of life :wink:

1 Oct 16 #36

I share a prime sub with somebody and only get the free deliveries. If I sign up for this on my own account. I will get

Prime free delivery
Amazon prime video
Amazon music
1 free twitch sub a month.. With this sub can I sub to different people and it keeps on rolling for as long as I have prime? Example
Subscribe to channel a in the month of October for free. November do I have to use my free sub for the same channel to stay subscribed? Or can I then subscribe to channel B for free and that carry on rolling for as long as I have an active prime account? Seems a very good deal to me

chantelle310 to chantelle310

1 Oct 16 1 #40

For anyone wondering like me.. it seems the subs roll on for the dutity of your prime sub. Which makes this an excellent deal if you have a few favourite streamers . I'm gonna go for this and cancel my Spotify, give Amazon music s little look at its the only one I haven't tried in all fairness. Thanks for spotting this OP.

Twitch is the biggest gaming streaming platform in the world.
It is now owned by Amazon. (They paid $970 million for that pleasure).
People can stream themselves playing video games and other people can watch, as well as interact with eachother.
A lot of people have made a living of streaming video games.
Viewers can support their favourite streamers by subscribing to a streamer channel which costs $4.99 a month or by donating to them.

And then there's 'pro gaming', where people compete against each other in lan tournaments for large prize pots, some even millions. The most popular games are team based games which means the prize money is split between 5-6 people. One team of players made £1 million each from £5 million prize winnings.

I watch twitch instead of TV. £8 a month is for something called twitch boost which is where you got to watch with no adds, or you can do that for free with Adblock. Twitch is great because of the streamers with cool personalities and nice communities built around them. People like me who are not very good at games can enjoy them with other people through Twitch
