Zuckerberg VS Bezos 🦄
Zuckerberg is taking on Bezos. A battle of the unicorns. 🦄
 
Meet Facebook Gaming, a streaming platform for gamers to broadcast their best Fortnite dubs and League of Legends strategies.
 
Launched last Friday, it's a direct competitor of streaming giant Twitch, which Amazon acquired in 2014 for just under $1B. Twitch fans are fanatics: over 15 million log in every day to watch.
 
Not everybody is convinced Facebook is going to win:
 
"Gamers watch Twitch not only because the streamers they care about are there, but because they enjoy Twitch, period. Twitch as a platform managed to create a sense of community and belonging that I don't think other platforms can match, not even Facebook." – Thibaut Davoult
 
Will Facebook beat Twitch? Is Facebook actually competing for the loyal Twitch audience? Tell us what you think in the comments.
