It isn't. Some of the companies that do the latter are also doing the former.
- Closi 5y agoYou are talking about Microsoft and Google - two of the largest computing companies on the planet. By the same logic, you could say that game streaming is like a search engine, because some of the companies that do the latter are also doing the former. The idea of provisioning remote cloud VMs is far older than Stadia or Xbox Cloud anyway.
- hogFeast 5y agoI am not talking Microsoft or Google. There are lots of smaller companies that provide this service. Your point about game streaming being like a search engine is nonsensical.
- Closi 5y agoExactly, just because two or more companies offer both game streaming and VMs doesn’t necessarily mean that those things are similar. They may be, or may not be, but your logic to say that they are similar isn’t right (otherwise other product lines must be similar by extension).
- hogFeast 5y agoRight, but these are small companies that offer no other services. In both cases, they just offer VMs. Game streaming is a VM. I am not talking about Microsoft and Google. I know a guy who runs one of these companies: they offer VMs for gaming, they offer VMs for offices, the machines are set up identically.
