Ever since Friday — when reports started surfacing that cloud gaming pioneer OnLive was shutting down and ceasing to exist — speculation has mounted over who, if anyone, had purchased the remains of the company.
All of OnLive’s 200 employees worked daily with the cloud gaming service’s traffic numbers and knew that something big had to happen for the company around this time of the year. That’s not to say all of them expected to lose their jobs, no severance, no benefits, no nothing.
Sony might be in talks to acquire either OnLive or Gaikai — the two biggest cloud gaming providers — according to a report on Edge that follows up on previous articles on MCV and VG 24/7.
