Cloud gaming lives on.

Utomik said today that it struck a deal with game distributor Plug In Digital to add 200 more games to Utomik’s subscription cloud gaming service. The copmany is the latest of many to try to exploit cloud computing and create an innovative new gaming service with it. Utomik’s strategy is to stream games to players while they await them to finishing downloading, so they can start playing their titles 100 times faster compared to other solutions, like Valve’s Steam platform. It is packaging this service as a “Netflix for games” service that costs $10 a month.
