I want to introduce you guys to Cloud gaming; with cloud gaming you play normally gigantic games without installing anything but a java plugin or a 5mb client on your PC and you play the games on high without lag, and without using that much space on your PC (Not to mention, you avoid the download times or installation times). Just visit the cloud page and play the game that's already installed on the server.. that simple.
Want to play dead island? well... here you go. Easy enough?
MMO games for example should be played from a cloud; it would lower the amount of hackers, crashes and even increase the community since they would just log and play; no longer would you need an Alien PC to play. You test them, you try the free game online and you can download the game afterwards and buy it if you like it. I know this is a great move, and in the next few months there will be a big change on how we play games on our PC's, we'll switch from installation to streaming just like we switched from DVD's to Netflix.
MMO games in specific, I believe this will be the last year games will have to be installed completely on our machines; Guild Wars 2, C9 and all of the next big games will be amongst the last of their genre sadly; streaming is going to trigger a big change on how MMO games will be delivered. And if the big companies don't start moving to something server based, players that can't afford a gaming PC will move to these services and said companies Will lose these guys.. which means they will lose Money.
