So if onlive was losing money, I doubt Gaikai or any other game-streaming service was ever profitable. Future of gaming? Not so fast.
It is just a bubble that bursted really quick. Zynga and Facebook games are on their way down as well. Next stop is free to play games, before we go to mobile gaming. I am not saying these business models will be dead and gone forever. I am saying they will come back to a more reasonable rating. At the end of the day people will realise that 3 million people paying $60 to play a game offers more chances for profits than 10 million people paying nothing, but a fraction might eventually use microtransactions to buy ingame items for 99 Cent.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
