Utomik - The Netflix of PC Gaming

I can't say I wouldn't be interested, but I think I'll let others prove this technology's performance first. I'm curious of the quality of service from big city vs more rural areas.

By default all games are available within the monthly subscription, with new releases available for purchase as Premium games.

For some reason, I'd imagine most games people want to play will fall under that category until they're on sale for $15 on Steam. Most of the titles you can see on the website are already dirt cheap ($5 or less on a regular basis). Also, I'd kind of rather see someone perfect streaming gaming so I don't have to worry about running a monstrous Windows machine in order to play games.

It'd be cool to see this type of pricing model succeed though.

sounds very suspicious, i don't see how you can fool most older games into really running if most of the data files aren't there. no hidden "download wizardry" is going to get around checksums and crashes when data files are invalid, a game has to be written from the ground up to support realtime download streaming of assets.

frankly it just sounds like they mostly include a bunch of bundleware fodder they bought thousands of copies of when they were dirt cheap on humblebundle.com or indiegala.com and they predownload the entire damn library to your PC overnight. No real good games will be included (GTA5, Skyrim, etc) just a bunch of bundleware crap. I've got 800+ games in my steam library but only probably 50 or so are quality games.

get a couple thousand people to pay $10/mo upfront for games you paid pennies for and rake in the profits i guess as you act as a centralized key holder. don't see how some of the devs don't sue to stop this pretty quickly, the EULAs for all of them clearly license the game to a single person not for sharing.
