- TranquilMarmot 11y agoOh, you mean OnLive? http://onlive.com/ http://onlive.com/
- giancarlostoro 11y agoThere's also the Nvidia Grid for the Nvidia Shield (which you could plug into a 4K TV to play on, and play using a wireless controller): http://shield.nvidia.com/grid-game-streaming http://shield.nvidia.com/grid-game-streaming But maybe it's not quite what you want, since it's limited to their games. Never personally tried it though.
- kenrikm 11y agoGrid is meh, but using the shield to play PC games anywhere in the house is a win. (I use the shield portable)
- dikaiosune 11y agoOnLive (now defunct), NVIDIA (ramping up), Gaikai (working with, or acquired by?, Sony) just to name a couple. They don't give you your own VM to host and manage, they're subscription game streaming services, but it's the SaaS version of this.
- comex 11y agoAcquired by Sony, and the source for the Playstation Now service released earlier this year, which lets you stream PS3 games to a few devices http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/01/playstation-now-review-sony-finally-proves-streaming-gaming-is-viable/ http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/01/playstation-now-review... http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/07/hands-on-with-playstation-now-on-a-samsung-smart-tv/ http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/07/hands-on-with-playstat...

- Procrastes 11y agoWe're using Frame [1] to do that for Second Life Viewers right now[2]. Frame has a platform offering if you want to setup some other virtual world or game. I guess I should do a Show HN, but it just hasn't been a priority with working out the kinks. 1. https://fra.me https://fra.me 2. http://brightcanopy.com http://brightcanopy.com
- rasz_pl 11y agoA lot of technically clueless people targeting casual games did actually. All of them failed or got acquired by even more clueless people.
- le_meta 11y agoAmazon did and found it was basically impossible to provide good service at a competitive price. But now you can learn the same the hard way.
