On this weeks show we bid farewell Bill Paxton, we welcome back Hayao Miyazaki and we talk in depth about the implications of Amazons purchase of the Twitch platform and what they intend to do with it starting this Spring.Our main focus on this weeks show is the announcement that come Spring 2017 Amazon will begin offering sales tools on live streams and how this will affect the landscape of streaming. At a cursory glance this seems like a great thing for streamers, but if you dig a little deeper into this thought experiment, you might find this shiny delicious looking apple, has a rotten core.
