OnLive is dead

But teh future of teh cloud!!1.

Hopefully this means no future cloud sh*t?

it will not be missed. Though cloud gaming is the future, its just not viable right now.

Umad Rikusaki?

Does anyone have that video on youtube where Riku is having an orgasm while watching the onlive opening?

Interesting,but I'll wait for more "official" info...

Could be some misinformation floating around,you never know.

Just heard the news over twitter, Rikusaki am cry :cry:

Wait a minute, he might very well be one of those that got sacked :lol:

I'll wait for a bit more of an official confirmation, but this is hilarious if it is true.

Its never a good thing when a company closes down.. hope everyone affected will find new jobs quickly.

wish them luck

Were the games you bought through OnLive tied to OnLive? I never paid any attention to the thing so I really don't know how it worked. Basically are the games anyone bought for the service gone after OnLive closes down?dragonball3900

The email floating around mentions a new company will form and games will still be available.

Onlive's DCC says that's not true at all.

Well that was fast lol

Onlive is garbage, that's why Sony didn't bought it. Gaikai is the future, as is cloud gaming in general

They're the same thing...

The OnLive employee has sent a "recall" message on the email. Now what does that mean?

Update from his twitter.

Was to be expected,tbh...

But it may be possible the company is facing some internal issues.This rumor had to be based on something...

It means /v/ was trolling because OnLive and Ouya are partners.

Yes they are,the differences are minimal...

Gaikai is better just because Sony bought them,a typical fanboy mindset...

Before the aquisition news,I'd wager you barely even knew Gaikai or Onlive existed...

Well I can't imagine them being very successful, their entire service revolves around having an excellent internet connection, which very few people actually have.parkurtommo

That and, who the hell really used it? According to Rikusaki himself the servers were extremely empty most times.

So Onlive isn't dead? TC has been owned, cloud gaming is still the future.

so what does this mean for the people that purchased games from Onlive?LP4EVA2005

When it does go down, people will lose access to their games because they were rentals and software that would not run on our PCs.

That's the real issue with OnLive's business model. No way to download and run the software locally.

Imagine is steam had a the ability to play all of your games from the cloud yet still be able to download them and play them locally? I would love that.

Looks like this whole Onlive closing debarcle may have been smoke and mirrors.

Poor cloud gaming haters, you have been owned bad

Yeah,if they truly went out of bussiness,that'd arguably be positive for the industry...

People would get a first-hand experience how risky and crappy cloud gaming is...

Not only that, but you're limited to playing with only OnLive users and not any other PC versions.

Wouldn't be a bad idea, but I only see that being popular with laptop people who don't want their entire Steam library hogging their HDD space.

Hermits are desperate, they know their gaming rig will become obsolete.

Prepare for cloud gaming haters

Are mods compatible with onlive? Didn't think so.

Cloud gaming is dumb as f*ck.
