[ANN] PLAYKEY: DECENTRALIZED CLOUD GAMING PLATFORM

[Yasemin]

When it is planned to launch a platform for testing already using the technology of decentralization?

Many people ask this question: Found this on their website https://playkey.io/en/faq/

When will I be able to test a decentralized version of Playkey?
Closed testing will be conducted around early 2018, and open testing in the second quarter of 2018.
Requests for participation in the testing are already being taken: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdpGlSVLoUHp_SIO_c9rG_Edh13B9GWvz5iG4ysWherDvsww/viewform

nice, did not read this. i am going to participate as a beta tester for sure everyone should do it, if you want to invest here.

Wow, I see that many people signed up for this. Your welcome guys.
I would apply myself too, but I would be a terrible tester since im not a gamer. I leave that up to you
Please share your thoughts after testing

What are you going to do to make the tokens more expensive?

[TorbiK]

Did anyone find the subscription fee? I found a price of about $8 a month in the whitepaper.

When purchased using a pay-monthly scheme over a period of 3 years, the price for per month for that same PC is $83. A monthly cloud subscription fee can be one tenth of that price.

Playstation Now costs $20 a month for a library of over 500 PS4 and PS3 games. The subscription fee for PlayKey is lower, but players have to buy the game keys as well.

Playkey provides a list of games supported by the application, and of their installation files. A miner decides which games he wants to rent out on his computer, and installs them. Or he selects automatic mode, whereby Playkey autonomously analyzes demand and manages the games on his computer to maximize his profit and, accordingly, that of the service.

Game keys are purchased by users and they are activated the same way in games, the only difference being that the game is launched at the miner’s computer. Keys can be purchased either on the Playkey website or in any other way at the discretion of the player.

It is a trade-off.

PlayKey:

+ $8 a month
+ supports PC games
+ can play on low-end PC, iMac, laptop, tablets, smartphones, Smart TV
- have to buy game license (games bought in a bundle less than $1 a piece, but the latest AAA games can cost $50+)
- can you share or transfer your game license on PlayKey to your own PC?
- no PlayStation games

PlayStation Now:

+ includes 500+ PS4 and PS3 games
- $20 a month
- no PC games
- can only play on PC and PS4

Well PlayStation Now coasts $20 but you don't need to purchase the games also, or do I see this wrong? If you can just play from a libary of games like renting them, it's ok in my opinion.

But $8 is really a deal. If you can get also game licenses for around $1 with it, it's really a great offer. Is it possible to use the game licenses also for offline use? Like when you want to play the games through Steam for example instead of Playkey?

Playstation Now not available in all regions. There are TVs from Sony that supports Playstation Now too.

To join the mining on my PC should be installed Windows?

I don't think that's already known. Playkey will probably still need to release the specs.
In the Whitepaper they talk about miners, but it's not defined as far as I know.

yess.... they are probably working on after ICO end.
its not just idea for this project because they already have working product with they own hardware.
but still need release more to become decentralized cloud gaming platform.
waiting some beta test

What are you going to do to make the tokens more expensive?

more gamer more value for playkey token because playkey token is limited

[levyashin]

Developers need to think about how to attract miners all over the world very quickly. Without them, there will not be any sense

It is all fees for them.

If you pay some good fees than every miner wants to be on there.

It shouldn't be a problem for playkey I think.

[batako]

What are you going to do to make the tokens more expensive?

By giving good services! When the more users involved in playkey's platform means the demand will increase as well as the token price. And I am sure playkey can do it!

[Piggy]

What are you going to do to make the tokens more expensive?

The success and strategy that will put the token at the center of the platform will determine that. If the platform take off i dont think there is going to be any issue about that

as I understand the miners themselves expose the price

As I know you have to buy games in PS Now. Not all games but top titles. Playkey also has many free games in a catalogue, even top titles.

I am talking about their unlimited subscription offering, which gives unlimited access to their entire library for a monthly fee of $20.

Also as of 2015, there are two ways to stream games in PlayStation Now, either as a subscription based service like Netflix, allowing unlimited access to all games covered by the subscription model, or users can rent games individually as can be done previously, usually available to rent in one of four time-frames: 4-hour, 7-day, 30-day, and 90-day. There are two pricing options in North America for the subscription service: $19.99 for one month, and $44.99 for three months.

Yeah, I know. but if you check what games are in this catalogue you won't see any new top titles. No Uncharted 4, no Fallout 4, etc. Only 2-3 year old games. Yeah, that's great, but only 15% of gamers play old games. Another 85% prefer new titles.

Playkey tried the same model with games in subscription but gamers asked to play only new titles.

What services can I pay with your tokens?

would be interesting if that is OS- based in a way. i own a very powerful mac (haha at least my wife does)

Well, without the miners, the platform will not work.

I guess the transition wont be that sudden and they will still use regular servers like they do now and its working fine for them. The miner thing is just extra bonus which will make this project more interesting for investors.

here in europe you pay like 17€ each month for playstation now. and yes, you have more than 400 games to stream, mostly ps3 and some ps4 games, but it works like a charm...

if they could just lower the price to like 5€ a month i would gladly use it ><

and no, you dont have to own the games to stream them. and you can stream them also on your windows 10 pc, too.

Well, I checked and it seems that in France the service is still not launched, too bad.

[Mystic90]

If there any plan to organize tournaments on play key with money or token rewards to bring more gamers to the platform?

you mean like esports competitions and the pize are play key tokens? that would be great

Here I agree with you colleague. Than the platform will be more popular the price of the token will be higher

Yes, you can play without Playkey with this game key.

[ZAROBLYATOR]

Are you planning to increase the number of your servers?

[Taner]

This project collects a lot of money, according to the the latest news...And as far as I know the plans listing on major exchanges like Cryptopia, HITBTC. When the token appears on them?
