This makes since sense Gaikai doesn't have a portal and they can embed the games on the publisher's website. Also, it seems to be painless to get games on the service since they stated the devs don't have to modify the game to be on the service. That is huge, IMO.

Gaikai will do fine I'm sure. I'm thinking EA might just buy them right up and offer streaming game exclusives.

I think this thing is true, as Gaikai themselves said they'll demo their service embeded in Facebook at the GDC.

There is nothing wrong with a little competition. Honestly if Gaikai does get this working and I can play EA games on my facebook? I will just use both. :razz:
