About this tag
Gaikai was a cloud gaming service that allowed users to stream and demo video games directly in a web browser without downloading or installing them. The service required a fast internet connection along with Flash and Java plugins. During its beta phase, Gaikai offered demos of titles such as Mass Effect 2, Dead Space 2, Sims 3, and Second Life. This tag covers discussions about Gaikai's technology, its beta launch, and its role in the broader context of digital game distribution and competition with platforms like Steam.
