The streaming site for video games is enabling viewers to buy games directly through the site and simultaneously support their favorite streamers.
Twitch is rolling out an option to buy video games directly from streams.
On Twitch, there’s a running joke to » press F to pay respects. » You’ll soon be able to press « buy now. »
The streaming site focused on video games, tournaments and gaming culture will release this spring an update to allow viewers to buy the game they’re watching others play. A « buy now » button will pop up next to the video description, sending viewers to a page where they can purchase the game.
Those who stream game play will get a 5 percent share of the purchase, enabling viewers to support their favorite shows and gamers.
