Why cloud has become the biggest market disruptor in the video games market.

How the cloud can speed game development and bring products to market more quickly

Because cloud-based infrastructures can be set up rapidly — sometimes in minutes — and require little upfront investment, game developers of every type can access them. The cloud gives game developers much more flexibility, with costs met on a usage basis — with hourly or monthly charges — and the ability to increase and decrease compute capacity at will.
