There is finally some clarity to what some many people in the the recent weeks, call streaming the future for video games. How the next generation PlayStation 5, Xbox “Scarlett”, Nintendo Switch, will be the last generation. Leaks coming out of Google thanks to the brilliant folks over at Kotaku. It seems Google’s buying up Xbox and PlayStation executives and developers to make a hybrid streaming console called,”Yeti”. Is streaming really the future of games, or is this 2012 mobile games are the future all over again?
Of course not
I smell another Ouya.
I wrote something and then changed my mind. But one thing didn't change: no, i don't think it will be a game changer. I see it more like another flop :P
It’s a flop is what it is.
Google has the $$$ to make studios, buy developers, and give third partys incentives to release games on their pay, stream, or download program. But its still a big ? mark as i expected xbox gamepass to have much more 3rd partys. At the same time, why would 3rd partys want someone paying a sub fee to play their games when the norm nets them much more $$$. Unless it was digital purchase for 49.99 for new games and so on, then 3rd partys wouldnt care as thats what pc players pay, and esp if this google platform has steam. Thats a big deal. Google could very well shake up the entire industy and change gaming forever.
