You can then archive your streams and share them.Twitch marketing boss Matthew DiPietro said: "Live broadcasting represents one of the most important shifts in the way people play games."Twitch has quickly found a home on consoles, so by partnering with Gameloft to launch the first streaming-enabled mobile game brings us one step closer to being everywhere that gamers are.
