How Cloud Computing Is Revolutionizing Gaming
Here are three highly positive developments in the gaming industry since cloud computing arrived:
- Increased Availability and Accessibility: Cloud computing, as a result of its flexibility and scalability in the area of storage capacity, allows gaming companies to make content accessible as soon as customers log in to their accounts. Game players need not anguish over how to save games and protect them for regular access. 24/7 gaming options have reportedly increased player satisfaction, helping game companies retain habitual gamers and maximize sales over time.
- Variety of Hardware: Cloud computing has streamlined the process of playing games by giving players various devices to access their games. Previously, game players relied on “consoles” but, nowadays, all devices are applicable: smart phones, palm-held devices, laptops etc. Game players now enjoy the rare freedom of playing on-the-go.
- Multiple Game Content: Whereas consoles only afforded the opportunity to play single games at a time, cloud computing allows for playing multiple games all at once. This not only makes game companies richer but also adds value to the gaming experience, leading to improvement in gamemaker-customer relationships.
Due to the above, gamemakers are now focusing on interesting and long-lasting game content, instead of worrying endlessly on producing attractive hardware or consoles.
Cloud technology provides a platform for innovation and new business expansion as major gamemakers like Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony gradually migrate game content. Game players can speedily access games using any digital-enabled device, and can play multiple games in real-time without needing consoles. This is both eco-friendly and more simple for game players.

Though personal information is required to open a player account, recent development in cloud computing security will help protect against identity theft.
Cloud computing is indeed revolutionizing the gaming industry, transforming game access, methods of play and constant access to stored info.
