They were bought by Sony a bit back, actually.

And OnLive folded, and sold themselves to a newly created company named OnLive. So, it's still there. And I think still has a lot of potential under the right person. (With enough money.)

I still half-expect Steam to eventually offer streaming of games players already own for a small monthly fee. I'd expect them to make gangbusters if they did.



Not only were they bought by Sony, they were bought by Sony for $380 million dollars.

Shows what a difference a business model can have. They both had cloud gaming technologies, but while OnLive wanted to sell it right to consumers, Gaikai went for the publishers.
