E3 2019: Video games take a cue from Netflix, but can Google and cloud games score?

Google plans to launch a video game streaming platform called Stadia, positioning itself to take on traditional video game business. Video games are following data and video into the cloud. Google, which has already announced its Stadia game streaming service will be available in November, will be showing that off at his year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), which begins Saturday in Los Angeles. Microsoft is expected Sunday to reveal more about its own xCloud game platform, also being developed to deliver games via the cloud. Sony is partnering with Microsoft to augment its own cloud gaming strategy.
