Twitch will begin selling video games and digital content directly through its site, allowing streamers to take a cut of sales.

Developers will be able to sell directly to fans watching games on Twitch with special offers, and Twitch also plans a Twitch Crate to buyers, offering up “randomized drops of items tailored to Twitch users, such as exclusive emotes, chat badges, and Bits for Cheering.”

Ubisoft, Telltale Games, Digital Extremes, Hi-Rez Studios, tinyBuild, Paradox Interactive, Trion Worlds, Vlambeer and more have already signed up for the service, which launches this spring.

More to follow.
