For decades, video games were bought in brick and mortar stores. Then, players began downloading games directly to their consoles. Now publishers are eyeing a new age, where games are streamed instantaneously to whatever screen the players are in front of. It's a Netflix-like model that could radically change how we play games in the near future. Join us as we look at what the near- and mid-term future holds for game streaming technology - and what it might mean for players.
