David Perry is a big believer in streaming as a future for games, and his company Gaikai will look to house full retail copies of games, removing the need for users to do upkeep like applying patches and upgrading their machines. As an example, Perry today showed off World of Warcraft running off of an iPad.
We’re really interested to see what works well with streaming and will be trying just about every genre of game, on every device possible as we explore server-side computing, wrote Perry. This is World of Warcraft streamed from a Gaikai server over regular Wifi.
Perhaps we’re heading towards a brave new world where every game can be streamed to any device available with payment plans that might also include streaming/dynamic ads thrown in the mix.
