Google Stadia!!
You sign up for a membership, and you can play any game from any platform on any device, because their servers do all the heavy number-crunching, and you just get the video feed like a Youtube stream.
So, you could play, say, Grand Theft Auto on your phone.
And you could switch between X-Box and Playstation games.
Platform exclusivity would be a thing of the past.
Oh, but wait....I saw all this 9 years ago, when it was called...
Onlive!
Yep, I time capsuled this in 2010 in "The death of physical media".
Google just pulled a Ray Kroc on Onlive.
Do you think at their big presentation, they said "it's Onlive, but Google!".
Hell no, they pretended it never existed, and that they pulled it out of thin air.
I don't need to see video to know that's what they did.
Well, whatever gets people to adopt the tech, I guess.
Still...
