Android gaming in the cloud: Where is the money?

Rosen Sharma is the CEO of BlueStacks.

I get asked about once a week, “Can you run these Android games in the cloud?” It’s a seductive idea. No client required, the games run directly on Smart TVs, set-top boxes, or microconsoles like GamePop or GameStick. Manufacturers and cable companies rightly salivate over the prospect of an additional revenue stream via a mobile-gaming-on-TV offering, especially if they can stream it from a faraway land. Ouya has announced it is going to try mobile cloud gaming. The pull is undeniable should someone pull it off.
