5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
The Phantom lived up to its name, following a number of financial and technical set-backs; it disappeared from the gaming landscape. Well at the GDC this week and new foray into digital game distribution is set to launch imminently. OnLive launched after seven years of back-room development under the guidance of “respected entrepreneur” Steve Perlman, founder of Web TV and former Eidos boss Mike McGarvey. Eidos produced the original Tomb Raider releases, and McGarvey and Perlman have reportedly garnered support from other AAA publishers including Take-Two (Grand Theft Auto), Ubisoft (Assassins Creed, Prince of Persia), Atari, the behemoth Electronic Arts and more, we are told nine publishers to date have signed on. Of course none of these publishers are first-party, Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo.
