If you live in Kansas, your internet could be set to get a hell of a lot better – and possibly even cheaper – with Google’s 1000MBs Fiber service. But the search engine giant’s announcement won’t just cause AT&T and Verizon to cower in fear – it has huge implications for cloud gaming. - PSLS
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
from eXputer "These multi-billion-dollar cases mean more savings for both devs and consumers. Public reactions to these lawsuits have been mixed, with some in favor/against the points being made"
They lost one, won one, and are about to go do sony. Yeah, Yeah, so where is the win part for gamers? This is about industry dividend regulation and enforcement, and has nothing to do with gamers (Studios will take a larger cut before you get a discount). The win and gratitude should be diplayed by the creators/publishers; way, WAY before the cosumers or a game jurno. Good Grief. Most of this is correct, but who it is really aimed at is misleading in its inclusivity as some kind of shoe-in for future savings/discounts for gamers.
From a business viewpoint, especially small developers these wins are a good thing. But what I’m curious about is the fallout. How would this affect game prices down the road? Will big corp just pass it to the consumer?
Hopefully this will lead to better profits and discounts for the consumer.
I agree with sony should sell digital stuff elsewhere besides psn. I used to get some good deals on Amazon. The amount their being sued for is kind of an issue though. Maybe them selling elsewhere is a win there shouldn't be a dollar figure attached to that. Imo.
A win for gamers or game publishers? Publishers don’t want to reduce prices. They just want the stores taking a 30% cut on game sales. If you can side load games on PlayStation, you will PlayStation price increase and turn the console into another gaming PC. No thanks.
Three years after Fortnite-maker Epic Games sued Apple and Google for allegedly running illegal app store monopolies, Epic has a win. The jury in Epic v. Google has just delivered its verdict — and it found that Google turned its Google Play app store and Google Play Billing service into an illegal monopoly.
oooo shiiiit
well, there ya go
but i think the biggest issue are the judges in these cases.
most of them have no clue about all them things.
ii wonder what the judge will decide Epic actually "won" or what the out come is.
This is terrible news for consumers, while Epic and others get richer we'll now have to pay more for our devices.
Phil and slimey company sitting up and plotting.... expect to hear how Sony is anti-gamer for refusing to have GamePass on their ecosystems they may very well do this to avoid 2027 . I can imagine his email to Satya...."we got them" lol.
Can't wait for Google Fiber to be available everywhere
I was thinking the same thing when it was announced cause it would be easy to use cloud gaming with it if it actually is that fast.
Google fiber also means everyone within the earth that provides internet will have to up there game big time. Our internet service will be get faster soon because I am positive that nobody is going to let google take over easily.
All of his situation will be good and the Playstation gaikai cloud system will be running smoothly on every PS4 and VITA in the future and if the king of kings and lord of lords in gaming want to allow remote play to PC, laptops and tablets if you have a PS4 and its games it will become a success for all the inhabitants of the earth.
I cannot wait for the glorious day, the day when sony cast upon our souls the greatest machine ever the almighty PS4.
I need google fiber now.
