The cloud gamer – Defining the audience
summary
Playkey builds a cloud-streaming service after five years of development to run PC games on any device, citing Far Cry 5 data where ~30% of Steam users cannot launch the game and ~40% can only run it at minimum settings. The company abandons all-you-can-play subscription after a failed $5 billion investment and shifts to a rental PC model with buy-or-use-your-own-key, achieves ~100,000 paying customers, reports ~40 ms latency, and runs servers in the UK and Moscow.
