Insists remote gaming is not patentable.
Online game streaming service Gaikai has insisted that rival outfit OnLive’s recent patent on cloud-based gaming does not threaten its existence.
CEO David Perry told VentureBeat, “We share OnLive’s vision that streamed gaming is a key element of the future of the video game industry. We do not expect the general concept of remote gaming to be patentable, as many of us played remote games in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
“Neither Gaikai nor OnLive were the first to develop technology in this area,” he insisted.
