WTF it is?

You play PC games in websites (NFS shitf,...)
wut is?
im caring
If you mean that game streaming nonsense, I can see it mostly used for demo distribution and stuff. A horrible idea for any other purpose. Except maybe for casuals, as they eat up anything shat on their plate.
Tried a few trial games and it works really well. There's like a 1/4 second delay whenever you press a button so it isn't really for online games yet. It's just video so you can run it on any shit pc or tablet and it will work fine. Graphics aren't all that because of compression. Definitely the future though, the only thing holding it back right now is internet speeds and reliability. It won't replace PC gaming because you can't customize etc, but it will definitely replace consoles soon.

You can play every game for 30 minutes for free so just give it a go.
1/4 second? Sounds awful.

agree I used the american servers ages ago the delay wasn't that bad geuss it can only improve coming to UK servers and also. with this any game for £1 will more than give it a try

It works more or less for single player, but for multiplayer it is horrible.
