ISPs are increasingly enforcing monthly data caps as well as streaming caps, and that will put a stop to purely cloud based gaming pretty quickly, I would think.</p>Marco Mugnatto commented on 'Has Cloud-Based Gaming Reached a Tipping Point?

Probably they where only connecting Gaikai servers and SL servers from distance because there still was lag. What would really make a difference is if streaming and rendering was running on the same datacenter, then you could put dozens of users on the same region each one with a big viewing distance without lag and without having to wait for the vector rendering, like if they where playing on a local network. </p>Scarp Godenot commented on 'Has Cloud-Based Gaming Reached a Tipping Point?

LL would have to massively increase their servers. How would that be paid for?</p>
