Raptr wants gamers to broadcast to Twitch through its network and nowhere else

Thousands of people use services like Twitch and Ustream to broadcast live gameplay video to the Web, and one of the biggest social networks for gamers is looking to improve its livestreaming and recording tools to increase its appeal with PC gamers.

Raptr revealed today that it is upgrading its PC app and adding new features to its Game Video Recorder that enables you to share live video of your gameplay to the Twitch broadcasting site. Raptr is also providing a suite of tools that enables players to quickly and easily upload and share their videos to sites like YouTube. Raptr is far from the only company offering these kinds of features, but it is likely hoping that it can keep its millions of registered users engaged in its product by offering updates to its service. The company makes money by having people use Raptr to discover and install new games, and livestreaming is one way to get people to use the service regularly.
