I have been reading up on this new direction for gaming...not sure if I like the idea or not. Its called Cloud Gaming....which means playing video games using the Cloud Computing format. I can see it being a benefit for people who cant afford to purchase an expensive gaming PC.
I prefer having a PC because I play alot of mod able games like the Call of Duty series. Will cloud gaming make me stuck playing stock games? God I hope NOT! I dont like that idea one bit. Excellent modders will have nothing to mod, this could cause alot of Multiplayer players to quit playing online due to a lack of variety that modders add to these games. These modders add new maps, weapons config files, gameplay changes etc etc. Will we have to play MMOs like World of Warcraft with no add ons??
Will game delevopers still release modding tools if they only stream their games thru cloud gaming providers like Gaikai (I have signed up to get beta to check it out) or Onlive. Will modders be able to upload mods? How will Multiplayer servers work? Will there even be Multiplayer servers?
Is cloud gaming, the wave of the future...if it stagnates gameplay like I think it will....I will probably quit gaming.
