If I understand this correctly, videos stored forever are being limited more now. Someone correct me if I missed something there.

If an acquisition is in the works I wonder why it would prompt this - surely Google can handle the storage requirements. A way to cover themselves legally possibly?

If Google is influencing this decision, might it prefer to have recorded video stored on YouTube? The blog post mentioned that Twitch removed the 2-hour limit for exporting VODs to YouTube.
