#VIRTUAL CLOUD GAMING PC PC#

The last PC I build was about four years ago, and since then, I have been losing my gaming enthusiasm for several reasons. It wasn’t about playing the actual games, but all about curiosity and having fun during the process. I had own several computers now, of which some of them I had upgraded or built by myself, and if you ask me, my highest satisfaction at that time was having to choose these computers parts all by myself, built them up (of course), assemble them and test them. On this same computer, I spent some hours playing probably the first version of “Snake,” before it was even popular on Nokia’s phones. I didn’t even know the meaning of that command line that I had written on a piece of paper, but it was fun. I’ll never forget having to manually access the game directory and type “cd prince” to start the game. I remember playing my very first computer video game, Prince of Persia, (the classic version of 1989) on my dad’s company computer running MS-DOS. From consoles to PC and PCs back to consoles, I have been playing video games since I got my first (second-hand) Nintendo and a PC, back in the very early ’90s. I am myself an active gamer, but not a pro, a casual one, a “noob,” who is having a hard time getting over with the fun and addiction of video games. There are many other already positioned players, and more others will follow the trend. Early this year, Google has announced its offering, Google Stadia (at least they didn't call it 'Google Now') and soon, Microsoft also will try to grab a piece of this billionaire-industry pie with the Xbox Project xCloud. Now, new players are emerging on the horizon. Both services are available to those with the right hardware to support them. Nonetheless, only a few well-positioned vendors have a significant impact, such as PlayStation Now (Sony) and GeForce Now (Nvidia). But cloud gaming is not a new thing its services have been down this road for years. And if you happen to be video game enthusiastic or keep yourself well informed on general culture and technology trends, for sure, you have heard about cloud gaming, wrongly AKA for some, the Netflix of videogames.Ĭloud gaming is a hot topic right now, and everyone has been talking about it this year. If you do work for the IT industry, are a technology evangelist, or are very keen on high-tech, high are (also) the chances that you like video games, just like me.
