Microsoft has acquired the popular streaming service Beam.
Beam is unique among streaming services due to its interactivity. Viewers are able to talk with the streamer and they are also able to effect the gameplay. Beam offers an SDK for developers to enable these features. The changes viewers can make vary from game to game.
This is all good but what does Microsoft acquiring this service mean for you? Nothing.
Microsoft and Beam will maintain its current support across all of its platforms. This will allow Beam to benefit from Microsoft’s infrastructure and will improve its services.
What do you guys think? Will Beam remain as it is or change for the better? Let us know what you think in the comments below or in the forums.
