A futuristic approach-Moving Gaming to Cloud

I was in constant fear due to my aging laptop as with the new games it needed a upgrade to support them. Everyone knows that upgrading a laptop is an expensive affair. I was wondering why we can’t find a solution to this with available technologies. I think the answer is cloud computing. Nowadays we see very large implementations being moved into the cloud space and infrastructure is being used in a wise manner. We also need to know that the popular games in facebook like Farmville can also be categorized as games in cloud.

If we move all our games to cloud then it’s just a plug and play type. All we need is switch on your laptop connect to net, login and start the action. The companies like EA sports, Microsoft also stand to benefit as if the gaming is moved to cloud it will totally eradicate piracy. Even from mobiles which have less computing power compared to desktops can be used as a medium to play power packed games.

But I guess it will take time to move gaming into cloud as still the penetration of broadband internet is low and initially it may face a stiff resistance from the gamers as even the fortune 500 companies are yet to move their entire IT infrastructure to cloud. But it will be a paradigm shift as the industry will coin a new term called GaaS which Is an acronym for Gaming as a Service.
