Just reported via vg247.com - see link below

 

TLDR - Rumor has it Google wants a piece of the video game pie and is working on its own streaming platform.

Good luck. Netflix is so rooted I would be surprised to see another serious competitor come around. 

 

I really wish The Man in the High Castle went with Netflix instead of Amazon. That’s Amazons only real good show on their platform imo. 

 

Didnt read, lol.

Don't they have YouTube gaming?

Something to package in with their fiber service maybe...

 

I have my doubts that it would be successful without doing something truly novel. Streaming tech still can’t handle the response times for games, and Valve showed that nobody is interested in “console-ized” computers, so if Google wants to succeed, they’re going to have to do something different.

It's not related to either of these services.

According to the article OP just posted a link to:

Yeti would be able to play games requiring high PC specs on lower end hardware thanks to more potent computers doing the brunt of the work while players streamed games.

I'm getting a 'GeForce Now' idea from this.

Another one?

Google should know from Hangouts, Allo (and however their two other chatting services are called) that you should focus on one thing and do well with that one.

There already is Youtube Gaming, so I dou't think this would make sense for Google to do.

Might want to append the title so it mentions Steaming Video Games...

Also, *sigh*, site is under an Ad-Block wall...
