the original onlive shutdown was pretty pro. they declared bankruptcy or whatever, voided all of the shares of their current employees, got purchased by some other company and the only people to get any money were the handful of C-level staff.

psnow is ok. 20 a month is a little high, but I'm playing a bunch of ps3 games I missed out on while I let some new releases build up. Have not had a single instance of lag or lost connectivity.

the biggest problem with cloud gaming is the games that would benefit from it the most, fast action and high system requirements, tend to also be most affected by any latency

for pc it's not a good idea but it works OK for consoles because of the lack of backwards compatibililty

eh I wouldn't mind being able to stream something like cities or civ at cranked settings to a laptop with integrated graphics so its not making GBS threads all over battery life. they completely jumped the gun though, home broadband connections aren't going to be good enough for another 5-10 years to get reliable service

even if all home broadband connections were good, you'd still easily get screwed over by your home having bad latency to one of their server farms.

game streaming isn't good for super high fidelity images, this is why it works better for PS2/PS3 level games than something new and shiny

Yeah it hasn't been noticeable except one time. The opening Naughty Dog logo on Uncharted 2 is a flurry of snow and fog and the macroblocks go crazy during it

works fine for me. I did have to dial the settings back slightly because of the additional encoding overhead but overall a perfectly good experience. my desktop and htpc are directly networked with gigabit ethernet though. no clue how well it works over something that is more laggy and prone to dropping packets like wireless is.

recurrency is disrupting patreon by collecting money (and fees) on behalf of creators that haven't set up a profile.

they, i guess, scraped some podcast databases and the like, set up pages for a bunch of popular ones, and are accepting your money, without even asking permission from the people they're collecting on behalf of.
