I'd be willing to bet that Gaikai is the unnamed startup that sponsored/requested this work. (DarkShikari already said it isn't OnLive, and those are the only two companies I know of that are preparing to launch on-demand gaming services that use streaming video).

- DarkShikari 17y agoAs far as I know, Gaikai's not looking to replace consoles or whatnot like OnLive is: the primary purpose is advertising. Current game demos are a marketer's worst nightmare: to get a player to try them, they have to download gigabytes of installer, install it, and after hours of messing around, they can finally go try the game. Gaikai's goal is to provide a better way for companies to promote their products--not to try to get people to shelve their Xbox. Which is probably smart, because this kind of video streaming is hardly an efficient way to do gaming in the general case.
