After winning the bid against Google to acquire Twitch, Amazon successfully made the service a place for streaming video. Google created YouTube Gaming not just to compete with Twitch, but also to make YouTube to be both the most popular video site and livestreaming site.
YouTube Gaming acts as a central hub where people can find and watch people live streaming their own video gameplay. Powered by technology behind YouTube, the spinoff is made specifically to gamers so they can gather and have their own dedicated space in its ecosystem to find content specifically related to their interest.
