Steam Cloud Gaming streaming service hinted at by Valve code update

From GameWatcher: "The big new technology that publishers are getting excited about is game streaming - you pay a subscription to a service and you stream games from a server, rather than own them. With the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Sony all looking at streaming services, it's of little surprise that Valve is considering a Steam game streaming service - seemingly called Steam Cloud Gaming."

That would be mad!

Another very powerful competitior.

they should go with it. that would be awesome!

I while back, I was saying that I was surprised Steam weren't already doing like this. So if they did launch their own streaming service, I wouldn't be surprised.

If Half Life 3 was the exclusive to push the service... yeah I'd jump in.

But they have nvida, who would valve even use

This could be a pretty massive thing if done right. Meanwhile the Epic Games Store is still in the early 2000s.

Awesome now it's not google Stadia eh?! I really don't understand people.

it's more of an option to steam gamers.
now, if steam is offering a two way cloud service that would be even more insane news.
- allow steam gamers to stream their own bought games via the cloud.
- allow Steam gamers the to stream the store selection on the cloud.
