RIP OnLive???

BIG UPDATE NEXT POST


So for those of you that keep up with gaming you should know about OnLive.

But if you don't, OnLive is an online gaming service powered by the cloud, you can buy the OnLive console for a reasonably good price OR download the app for iOS and Android (US only).

This might be stopping.

Lots of reports today from tech blog The Verge as well as other people's tweets are saying that OnLive have gone bankrupt and have fired 50% of their employees at a meeting today, leaving them with a crew of just 20 employees.

Twitter user @martyn_williams sent out a tweet saying that in the past 20 minutes 3 OnLive employees had walked out with boxes but he had no idea what was going on inside.

Rumours of OnLive being acquired followed this tweet as well as articles from other tech blogs.

Former OnLive employees have mentioned that the company didn't exist anymore due to bankruptcy, they also mentioned that there were big budget cuts and that parts of OnLive were being acquired by different brands.

We'll keep you updated on this situation.
