It’s not a bad solution because this means that it is really up to their clients to figure out how to monetize the service built on top of CiiNOW. As you may have seen, making a cloud gaming service isn’t as obvious as once thought. Just ask OnLive which ran into financial trouble recently.
AMD has a clear synergy with the cloud gaming space because it is already supporting so many developers. However, we wonder if the close relationship between Gaikai and NVIDIA has something to do with this (Gaikai has been acquired by Sony, so let’s see what could come out of it). If the future of gaming is in the cloud, AMD needs to ensure that it has some chips in the game.
