Suuuper interesting. The first startup I worked at was InstantAction, building tech to enable any game to be playable in the browser. While a very different solution than this, we were approaching a similar opportunity back in 2009. This also reminds me of Gaikai and Onlive, both acquired by Sony (edited my previous typo).

@rrhoover The web as a platform has really evolved over the last 10 years. Hopefully we're able to keep pushing browsers to their limits and make a positive impact on their development. Would love to hear more about your time at InstantAction.
Eric Diepeveen
@rrhoover didn't Sony buy Gaikai and turned it into playstation now? Together with David Perry.
Ryan Hoover
@ericdiepeveen you're right! I mixed this up. Edited!

There much more powerful app with the same idea — playkey.net

Pros:

have a Mac so no pros yet

Cons:

PC only

Bori Konstantinov
That's incorrect. It works right now on Mac via browser just as PC. Try it out.

The Rainway web client allows you to play across most platforms without any extra downloads. Our self-hosted server is currently Windows only with plans for a macOS and Linux variant down the line.

Thanks Vladislav. I am founder of Playkey and just noticed accidentally your post! It motivates to make our product much better.

I difference is that you pay them T_T

Only for Windows PC. No server for Mac :(
Brian Lee
@armen_mkrtchian even when games are on the Mac, most of the time they’re not even optimized for it. Macs are great but until fairly recently games weren’t even on its radar

@armen_mkrtchian While our server is currently Windows only, we do have plans for a macOS and Linux variant in our pipeline.

@andrewmd5 Great to hear that 👍
Armen Mkrtchian
@kay0stheory that’s why a product like this could fix that
