It's about damn time. Via IGN:
BY CHLOI RADA new service called Utomik wants to offer unlimited PC games for only $10 per month, minus the long downloads, lag, and bad quality usually associated with cloud gaming.
Utomik's goal is to make games playable with just one click, with virtually no installation time stopping you from playing what you want right away.
The method used by Utomik is similar to progressive downloading, made possible by what it calls its own "unique proprietary file streaming technology."
Downloading smaller batches of files as they play, according to Utomik, allows its users to have access to any game in the service's library, instantly.
According to Utomik's product director Chris van der Linden, "[Gamers] don?t want a low quality video render of their game from a remote server for higher costs."
Utomik told GamesBeat that its approach is "1,000 times cheaper" than others, allowing its monthly price to sit at $10 a month. The site is currently in closed beta.
