OnLive Now (Possibly) Valued at $1.8 Billion (Expert Analysis)

Remember two days back when HTC invested $40 million in OnLive? Well, since then analysts have been trying to figure out what the overall value of the company might be. The results might surprise you.

According to Justin Byers at VCExpertsan expert at examining private company filings OnLive authorized the issuance of 8 million shares of Series E preferred stock at $7.50 a share (that price is the same as what HTC said it paid). The total authorized shares are now 358.4 million, while the total number of common shares authorized are 240 million. If all of the authorized common shares were issued, then the value comes out to $1. 8 billion."We are not saying that is the valuation," Byers said. "We are saying it could be that high." - SourceSource

For comparison, EA was valued at 5.24B in October 2010.

That means OnLive is already valued at one-third the price of one of the largest software publishers in the world.

Tell me how OnLive is going to fail when so many people in power love the idea?

Because they probaly have 1 billion dollars in sub-par gaming computers. And bandwith crap.tehsystemwarior

That, at this point, means very little.

It only means it somebody invested heavily on it, nothing more.

If said investment pays off, that's something we can't know.

Besides...

"We are not saying that is the valuation," Byers said. "We are saying it could be that high."

Did you even read your own link

Onlive isn't value at 1.8 Billion

Here let me spell it out for you

If all of the authorized common shares were issued, then the value comes out to $1. 8 billion."We are not saying that is the valuation," Byers said. "We are saying it could be that high.

or were we too concerned with stamping out the competetion to read that?

their saying onlive COULD cost up to 1.8 billion in which is actually doesn't now.

Misleading thread title.

... and yet, still, no one cares. :P I'm happy you've found your calling though Riku.

OMG, Rikusaki is back...

Misleading title name used to draw people in this thread, and it's working. Onlive isn't for me because I don't that fiber optics connectivity.

[QUOTE="tehsystemwarior"]Because they probaly have 1 billion dollars in sub-par gaming computers. And bandwith crap.Rikusaki

What difference does it make? It'll still be a billion (or however much) in computer parts. The only thing leasing does is allow them to keep up (to a certain extent) with technology. It's still gonna be pretty expensive.

Is that including the valuation of all the hardware they have to own? EA just makes software.

Onlive is still a garbage service.

Again Zynga is valued more than both EA and OnLive, and they practically popped up overnight.rpgs_shall_rule

Basically every failed product in gaming was loved by people in power at some point. It means nothing.

I already responded to this post.... Good for them. They didn't fail. Now tell me how OnLive is going to fail when so many people in power love the idea?Rikusaki

This article has more evidence to suggest that $1.8 Billion is correct. Good read.

My bad, didn't see.

Patcher is an analyist too. We all know how terribly wrong that guy is.

"We are not saying that is the valuation," Byers said. "We are saying it could be that high."

Another failure OnLive marketing thread is a failure. Could be =/= actually is. Can't wait for the day OnLive crashes and burns. Its a terrible service.

If it was not for you I would of forgotten onlive existed.

Don't get me wrong though, this more than likely is the future. With most ISP pushing meek Mbps numbers, and even more with data caps, I just don't see it being anything substantial until America really fixes up it's info-structure however. On a side note, Rikusaki my friend, I hope they are paying you well for your cult like patronage because you really are working your butt off. For better or for worse :wink:

How much was Enron valued at?

Just being valued at a lot doesn't make you profitable.

I'd love to see those numbers. Rikusaki
