OnLive teams up with London's Green Man Gaming to resell its cloud-gaming service

OnLive has teamed up with British game retailer Green Man Gaming to resell subscriptions for OnLive’s cloud-gaming subscription service. The deal is the first of its kind in which a game retailer resells OnLive’s online bundles of games delivered via web-connected data centers, or the cloud.

For the first time, players will be able to get OnLive subscriptions outside of the OnLive ecosystem. Green Man Gaming will offer OnLive’s “play anywhere” subscriptions to its customers.
