Shadow is the company’s name.
What they propose is basically streaming a gaming session: the game you’re playing runs on a remote Shadow machine and is rendered on your PC, phone, tablet or TV through their proprietary software; you don’t need a powerful PC anymore, all you need is a decent internet connection and you’re good to go.

But Shadow is already a thing of the past before being a thing of the future – phew! progress goes faster and faster!
Nvidia and AMD are teaming up with small family businesses like LG and Google to bring the whole concept to a new level.
By the looks of it – be warned, strong Scottish accent, pretty funny actually – we will now be able, when watching let’s say a trailer on Youtube about the latest Assassin’s Creed, to click on a button on the screen and be immediately playing the game in our own session!

Google is first on the list because they already have hundreds of data centers all over the world, own submarine cables and an infrastructure which makes Terminator’s Skynet look like a child toy.

Regardless of who’s going to make it first: it’s coming.
Watch your PC closely, it might be the last you ever buy.
