As in Ubisoft Will use Azure infrastructure to stream games… I don’t think Amazon has that kind of infrastructure. Microsoft however even considered letting Sony set up game streaming on Azure.
Honestly, in a weird way, it makes sense. I don’t view neither Ubisoft nor Sony as software companies. Ubisoft makes and publishes games, Sony makes consoles, phones and cameras.
So outsourcing to a company who’s job it is to solely focus on backend infrastructure and protocols so that Ubisoft and Sony can focus on doing what they do best.
In any case, I fundamentally oppose game streaming because I want to hold a copy of the software which is licensed to me. Not some streaming service where a game can just suddenly disappear. I don’t appreciate these companies retconning products nowadays and it’ll get worse still.
Streaming will put the decision and power solely on the publisher. That is scary to me.
Streaming as in cloud gaming like Stadia.
