Twitch today announced Twitch Prime, a premium subscription service for its streaming site, during its TwitchCon event in San Diego. It’s actually part of the Amazon Prime subscription, which gives users of the online shopping site discounts on items and shipping. Amazon bought Twitch in 2014.

Twitch Prime gives subscribers ad-free viewing of livestreams. You also get game loot each month, including free games and in-game cosmetics. The first batch will include goodies for Hearthstone, Blizzard’s digital card game. Specifically, it’s the Tyrande Hero Portrait for the Priest Class.
