Cloud Gaming Gets Smart

To say the experience will be enriching is an understatement because live streaming of mobile gaming via cloud are the present– not the future of gaming.

While businesses are still hesitant about sharing data via cloud storage over doubtful security management, cloud gaming is perhaps a safer bet. Despite its recent beginnings in the mobile industry, gaming on demand has become the most utilized among all other cloud services.

What makes cloud gaming highly popular is mainly their capability to access games through offsite, remote servers on any platform or device. There is no need for physical gadgets such as consoles and discs. However, some guides do recommend using a physical control device for smartphone screens because of the large estate they occupy for game controls on touch screens.

Virtual streaming of these games provides limitless choices on 3G and 4G smartphones. Some OSs are already running them as cloud game applications on their stores. OnLive, a cloud gaming application was launched for Android earlier this year and received a tremendously positive response. Android was their first choice among smartphone platforms for the same reason that cloud sharing is based on: an open source server for an open source platform.

And there’s more to come. Google announced the launch of ‘Google Compute Engine’ cloud service at their recent I/O conference that will allow app developers to create any kind of application with the use of raw virtual machines, such as JVM (Java Virtual Machine). This means multiple systems can coexist within a single device.




Apple’s iOS had had to wait awhile, but with box.net already a successful app plus cloud storage project,
they will soon be joining forces in the cloud gaming zone. Last week’s news about Gaikai, an open cloud gaming platform, being bought by Sony has pretty much paved the way for them as well as other smartphones and tablets. There has been no direct reference, but the high price paid (USD 380 million) shows just how important cloud gaming has become for the once popular console manufacturers. It is not too hard to believe either when reviewers predict how this will spur Xbox and Playstation games to be streamed through into smartphone devices.

The Socio-Mobile Axis, not Access

There is cause for complaint. And it can be hard for marketers to digest the fact that direct marketing is highly dependent on users’ own network — not the advertisers’ and certainly not social media staffs’. As was noted by Forbes last month when Facebook’s COO requested users to ‘click on a few ads.’ This mild ‘joke’ was asking for trouble. Interpreted for desperation, the statement mirrors a general concern shared by social media: that financial returns for their free services are negligible.

Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has admitted to mobile incorporation as being a challenge for Facebook. What is worrying for social media is whether monetization will increase on mobile, because so far, it hasn’t had much luck on the PC platform. Greenlight, a marketing company survey reported 44 per cent of Facebook users “never click on sponsored ads,” and a bare 3 per cent did so regularly. Depressing
as these figures are, advertisers and marketers seem to forget the complexity of the primary need for a user, which is to be social.
There is a dual-pronged expectation at play here accompanied with a sense of urgency:  i) providing full access of social media on mobile and ii) to gain revenue from mobile advertisements. The first point is not too far from achieving. Facebook Timeline has been recently launched on mobile platforms and users are already waiting for third party applications to be included. Speaking of apps, Facebook’s integration with mobile is going to get deeper. Developers can now download the new SDK for iOS to create Facebook applications which comes complete with a tutorial, links to native apps and ‘Reference Docs’ for coding.
Advertisers need to start thinking like users. When a user is ‘highly engaged,’ advertisements in any form can be interruptive, or the user barely notices them because of his/her sole focus on the content. So the tactic of placing ads with great content is not a guarantee for revenue either, no matter how ‘engaging’ the content. A complete renovation is required for marketers to target their ads if they want to see success on the mobile platform via social media.
If it was really up to the users, a majority would simply do away with ads entirely. Unless they were to be incorporated into user content. Complicated as it sounds, what is required is a high level of creativity to use the users in a way that will benefit content plus promote the product simultaneously, not separately, as is the case with PC ads.
Whatever forms of advertisement on social platforms, whether notifications, Sponsored Stories and incentives, limitations can be turned to advantages on mobile adaptation and the experience will be far richer for all parties–first, second and third. Then there won’t be much cause for complaint.
