Utomik starts beta test of ‘Netflix for games’ with 145 titles for $5.99 per month

Utomik is launching the open beta test for its game streaming service with a special offer of $5.99 per month for access to 145 video games.

If the company can crack the code on streaming by delivering working games that meet the quality requirements of gamers, then it could finally disrupt traditional retail in the way that Netflix has done with video store chains.
