Will it sue Gaikai?
Steve Perlman, CEO of OnLive, reckons he’s secured the patent on cloud-based games.
Cloud-based gaming services allow users to play their favourite titles using a broadband internet connection. It eliminates the need for PCs, games consoles and discs because data is processed on distant servers.
The patent covers a “breakthrough” technology where videogames run on remote servers in data centers and users with a broadband-connected device can instantly play them.
