Cloud computing and Cloud servers are entirely different things. I also attempted to word it in such a way that would erase any questions, but apparently I failed. I am aware cloud computing has been around and suggested that. I was referring to the modern definition of "cloud". Dedicated servers back then had seperate task than servers set up specifically for cloud computing. Cloud computing has been in research for a while, but due to latency limitations it hasn't always been relevant/ready for commercial usage.

Every server can do cloud computing... Cloud Computing is a lot of Server together doing tasks for the client host.

There is no modern definition.

Just that the Server power and tech reach a level that you can use it to do more taks than they did before... so for the marketing purpose they started to use the word "Cloud" but even the word is old in computer world.

There is no difference after all and nobody in the world can say an difference example because they are the same thing.


I wouldn't even bother with him. This isn't the first thread he's done this in lol

What do you know about Cloud computing?


It's not what I know about the Cloud, clouds, cloud computing, clouds shaped like animals, or rain clouds.

It's what I know about him/her. Will argue a point even when he's dead wrong. Attempts to insult you. Also is a little over the top with the drama imo.

Just commenting on the title. They want to be, and they behave like they are. But the gamer audience isnt as dense as the phone audience in general.
This something like the apple of videogames, doesnt result in a sucessful company.

Even though we all know this was money hatted, their reasons seem legit. Even without payola i think Xbox One would have been their first choice.

Maybe because Sony or Nintendo seems more the Apple of videogames... I think more Nintendo than Sony.

I see Apple like a company that creates trends and have the fans to support that... like Nintendo... they do their own stuffs and create new trends instead follow the market.

Nintendo and Apple are cool in the way they are.

Actually, XBox is the brand they use for their gaming division nowadays, just like XBox music. Talking about XBox exclusivity means it being tied to the XBox brand. They use it for WP8, W8, XBox360 and now XBox One. You focus too much on it being exclusive to one console, not the brand. MS couldn´t care less if you buy it on either platform, it will make them tons of cash anyways :).

That's all very fascinating, but this does nothing to support their claim that they are making the game for only one platform (when they're not) because they are such a small developer.


I don't know why we continue to go down this road on interent forums. Microsoft doesn't compete with PC gaming. never have and never will. Hell they release some of their OWNED IP's on PC. So yes it is an Xbox exclsuive because as of right now there is no PS3 or PS4 version announced or in development.

Nintendo is the closest, but they dont practice insane prices like apple does.

I'm not the one with the delusion that every studio that comes out with an Xbox exclusive is suddenly being money hatted by microsoft. Even though the studio gave a perfectly acceptable reason which happened to be Dedicated game servers. Which they suggested Microsoft helped cover the cost of. There was no lying about anything. Flat out calling the Titanfall developers is a little overdramatic especially without valid proof I'd say. You've also offered no proof to as why I'm "dead wrong". Considering most of what I've been doing was quoting the developers own words and giving a valid reason to what they might have meant I wouldn't consider myself "dead wrong". Also I may have been off on my entire definition of the dedicated servers. Doing a little more research I was partially correct.Microsoft offered them the cheapest rates on their gigantic server farms. http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/25/titanfall-developer-explains-advantages-of-microsofts-cloud/ This article takes it way more in depth why the developers made their choice. Yes it had to do with money. Moneyhatting? If you consider a massive discount on servers moneyhatting then yes.
