Would love this service if it wasn't buggy and there were paid or free servers so you didn't need a gaming PC

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.

@rrhoover didn't Sony buy Gaikai and turned it into playstation now? Together with David Perry.

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.

@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
