“Vapor” Leaked On Twitch, Amazon’s Version of Steam

Vapor Leaked On Twitch, Amazon's Version of Steam

It seems like Amazon, the eCommerce and multimedia giant, is planning to step into the gaming arena as well. Some interesting leaks about it hint at the arrival of a service like Valve’s Steam. Steam as you may well know is a digital distribution service that provides you with a variety of digital games to purchase. As of now, Steam is the biggest distribution platform for PC games with over 75% of the market share. So, it was only a matter of time before this caught Amazon’s eyes and now it has.

Recently Twitch admitted a big data hack which led to over 125 GB of data being leaked to the internet. The anonymous hacker breached their cyber security and leaked tons of data online. While it is a serious cybercrime and requires punishing the offenders, it also brings some great news for gaming enthusiasts.

So, let’s look at this other side of the coin, which reveals Amazon’s upcoming reply to Steam. The game distribution service Amazon is working on appears to be codenamed Vapor. Let’s hope that’s not the official name for it though, as scientifically vapor and steam are very much related. If indeed it is called Vapor, it would be quite hilarious.

Anyways, the way Vapor has been leaked via the Twitch files is quite similar to how Steam operates. When you download a game on Steam, its files go into Steam’s directory on the user’s storage drive. Just like that, Vapor’s directory figures can be seen in the leak. The leaker also noted that it seems to integrate most of Twitch’s features and game-specific support.

That’s not it, as the leaked information also includes some Unity code for a game called Vapeworld. It is an announced Amazon original game that is believed to provide a virtual reality chat sort of experience. Just like Vapor though, not much is known about Vapeworld as well.

It was a mega leak and it’s being said that the entirety of Twitch was leaked, so there have to be more files. It is very likely that data miners will dig in all the information which was leaked slowly. So, more information about Vapor and Vapeworld is bound to arrive real soon. The thing is that no one expected or knew about something like Vapor but now that it is out there. Most of us know that Amazon is in fact working on something, therefore, a lot more leaks and rumors will surely follow.
