OnLive is dead

Good. Cloud gaming is dumb as hell.

Looks like they were purchased by someone.

I hope it's Microsoft.

Still though, Cloud Gaming and F2P remain huge threats.GulliversTravel

An interesting idea with a very bad execution. Pehaps someday it could get better...but today is not that day.

I'm pretty sure the US has it better than 99% of nations here on Earth.

This is so funny , these guys were claming consoles were going to die and yet Sony buys one of them and the other one dies by itself.

Still, I can't help but feel a bit vidicate hearing that not only did Onlive go bankrupt, but they also had less than 2000 users at the time of their demise. That is absolutely pathetic, and I don't think we have to worry about cloud gaming making all our fancy hardware obsolete any time soon. Internet speeds in the US are way too slow for cloud gaming to work, and without the backing of the US market, cloud gaming cannot replace traditional local gaming.

Good! Let it to die harder! Pour some petrol on it and let it burn harder!

Why would Microsoft buy Onlive when MS already has stream infrastructure from MS Skype and MS RemoteFX (latest RDP)?

MS RemoteFX could be expanded for Xbox Live.

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

Prepare for cloud gaming haters

It was a solid idea but a very poor business model. The cloud is supposed to drive down cost of production. Nope games still cost the same and looked barely on par with consoles. The world may be ready for streaming music and viedo. But there is little to no feedback sent by the end user. The interenet is not good enough at the current stage for cloud gaming to work.

If all of you are wondering. The Last System Wars Heard from Rikusaki was from THIS THREAD explaining that HE GOT BORED OF ONLIVE.

Cloud based gaming is the future, there's no doubt about that. We're just not ready for it yet.SKaREO

We'll see...

If you're right,and other options stop being availible on the market,that will be my cue to quit gaming and find another hobby (or at least switch the focus on "retro" games I missed over the years)...
