Hey, remember all of those rumors that YouTube would by live streaming service Twitch? Well it looks like all of that might have been wrong. According to a new report uncovered by the Wall Street Journal it is not YouTube or Google that is buying up Twitch, it is Amazon. This is something of a departure from what most analysts felt was going to happen within the company. A lot of people felt the marriage of Twitch and YouTube was one that made sense even if there was reluctance on the part of the community.

Activision and Treyarch have announced a partnership with a popular service for tracking gameplay from different games live, Twitch.TV, within which players of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 will have the ability of streaming video directly from the game. This option will be available to players on all three major platforms, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, and the streams will be available to follow through Call of Duty Elite service in web browsers and on smartphones and tablets.
