> All of OnLive, Inc.’s assets (e.g. technology, patents, trademarks, etc.) were transferred to an assignee, which then sold the assets to the new company. There was no transfer to any other party. What is the name of this assignee? They seem very motivated to not state that piece of information, or how much he was paid by the OnLive Mk II company for these assets.

  Actually it is Lauder Partners also invests in a Comapny called "Active Video Networks."[1] Active Video Networks has for years been trying to do the same thing on Cable Set Top Boxes what Onlive has been doing with Games to PCs. Which is basically move all the processing to the cloud with low end thin clients in the home. In the TV Case they'd push interactive apps (via an MPEG frame over your cable infrastructure) to your cable box and basically you could get a whole interactive TV system on crappy old cable boxes. Looks like Gary Lauder (who's the main guy at Lauder Partners) is doubling down on this strategy. [1] http://www.activevideo.com/ http://www.activevideo.com/

So that's exactly what he does.
