Hmmmm,

The service will go head-to-head with Twitch.tv, the streaming service Google tried to acquire last year, but lost to Amazon.

Google said YouTube Gaming will be the “go-to destination for anything and everything gaming”. It will show who is live streaming and serve as a collection point for all gaming content on YouTube.

Like Twitch then... Is it going to be like Supersport vs ESPN Nah, the more interesting part is Steam, which entity will Steam back... Amazon and Google is like the world’s largest advertisers, pro's and con's are debatable.

Will YouTube move all the gaming content to Youtube gaming and will their contributors have a unique content model and prerequisites? Only time will tell.

I'm assuming it stays the same, youtube for videos, youtube gaming for live stream. i.e. like people do with their twitch streams, add to youtube later... but this would have links to your 'older streams' on your normal channel
