It's already been five years since giving the company a major stake in rapidly-expanding video game streaming space. Twitch is still quite popular, but a report today indicates the company may have some new plans to make money from the service: selling Twitch's streaming technology to other companies. According to the report, it would be similar to how Amazon Web Services (AWS) was used internally and then eventually became one of the company's most important products -- AWS accounts for about half of all Amazon revenue. The service would almost certainly be rebranded for sales to business customers, though there's no hints that Amazon would shut down the existing, consumer-facing Twitch platform.
