Christina Warren says, “As previously rumored, Google is reportedly going to acquire Twitch for $1 billion.

The newest report comes from Dean Takahashi at GamesBeat, citing “sources familiar with the matter.” Although the terms of the deal — and the timing of the announcement aren’t known, Takahashi says the deal is a lock.

YouTube will reportedly take control of the acquisition and Twitch will be used to expand YouTube’s global video dominance into the growing segment of users who broadcast — or watch broadcasts — played other users playing video games”.
