And OnLive folded, and sold themselves to a newly created company named OnLive. So, it's still there. And I think still has a lot of potential under the right person. (With enough money.)
I still half-expect Steam to eventually offer streaming of games players already own for a small monthly fee. I'd expect them to make gangbusters if they did.
Not only were they bought by Sony, they were bought by Sony for $380 million dollars.
Shows what a difference a business model can have. They both had cloud gaming technologies, but while OnLive wanted to sell it right to consumers, Gaikai went for the publishers.
How is GaiKai doing now that OnLive has folded? Are they headed towards running out of cash as well at some point or are they doing better?
