As in Ubisoft Will use Azure infrastructure to stream games… I don’t think Amazon has that kind of infrastructure. Microsoft however even considered letting Sony set up game streaming on Azure.

Honestly, in a weird way, it makes sense. I don’t view neither Ubisoft nor Sony as software companies. Ubisoft makes and publishes games, Sony makes consoles, phones and cameras.

So outsourcing to a company who’s job it is to solely focus on backend infrastructure and protocols so that Ubisoft and Sony can focus on doing what they do best.

In any case, I fundamentally oppose game streaming because I want to hold a copy of the software which is licensed to me. Not some streaming service where a game can just suddenly disappear. I don’t appreciate these companies retconning products nowadays and it’ll get worse still.

Streaming will put the decision and power solely on the publisher. That is scary to me.
