Transcript of Game as a Service (GaaS) : Anytime, Anywhere!
INSTRUCTIONS :
Gaming on cloud, also called gaming on demand, is a type of online gaming that allows on-demand streaming of games onto a computer, in which the actual game is stored on the game company’s server and is streamed directly to computers accessing the server through the client
Increased Availability and Accessibility:
As a result of its flexibility and scalability in the area of storage capacity cloud computing, allows gaming companies to make available to their customers series of content that are available as soon as they log in into their accounts. This indicates that game players do not have to bother about how they could save their games. The unique opportunity of getting games to play anytime has reportedly increased game players’ satisfaction.

No Need for Expensive Hardware Investments
and Upgrades :
With cloud gaming, you don’t have to upgrade your PC or console. Instead of buying an expensive gaming hardware, you have to just use your existing hardware

Multiple Game Content:
Unlike before when a console only allow players the opportunity of playing a single game at a time, cloud computing creates the avenues for accessing and playing multiple games at a time. This practice does not only help game companies to rake in more revenues, it also adds values to the experience of playing games.

DRM :If games ran on remote servers instead of your own computer, they’d be almost impossible to copy. This makes cloud gaming an attractive form of DRM to publishers. 4
Video Compression :The game play “video” we receive from a cloud-gaming service is compressed. It won’t be as sharp and high-detail as what could be rendered by a high-end gaming PC. 1
Bandwidth :
Cloud gaming services require a large amount of bandwidth. If everyone plays games using cloud services, bandwidth usage would go up dramatically.

Latency :Games can react to player’s actions much more quickly when they’re running on player’s local computer. Cloud-gaming services will always have more latency than powerful local hardware. 3
