What services can I pay with your tokens?
Other gaming services that will join our ecosystem soon. There will be announcements.
Also you will be able to buy games via PKT.
If there any plan to organize tournaments on play key with money or token rewards to bring more gamers to the platform?
Great idea! I think we should do this ASAP.
Also Playkey will connect e-sport services to Playkey Ecosystem with PKT as the rewards.
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 miners 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.

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?
Yes, you can play without Playkey with this game key.
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.
Do i understand correctly that every gamer should buy a game activation key. This key is checked by the miner to get acces to the games?
isn't this service subscription based? it is on playkey.net
It is, but you still have to buy games (most of them, especially the new ones) that you want to play.
It depends I guess. It seems that you can play games you bought on Steam. If you bought your games somewhere else, it COULD not work. Not sure.
It would be interesting to know the official statement from Playkey regarding the game licenses and how they will enforce this. Via a key or another way?
I did not find anything related to Steam licenses in the whitepaper. But on TechCrunch I found:
Users can use their own Steam library with our service, buy the game from Steam directly, or purchase the key and subscription from us.
I think they will be setting up virtual machines for each user, otherwise the Steam libraries and save games from different people will conflict with each other. The downside is that if the game data is also stored in the virtual disk of the virtual machine that will waste a lot of storage space on duplicate bits. But that too can be solved by configuring the virtual machines with a shared virtual disk for game data and separate virtual disks for user data.
Thanks for the clear answer.
It makes sense that you would be able to buy a key via them.. I am now wondering how everything would work if you have bought the game from the shelve .. could your license be transferd to PlayKey ? I think we will see some interesting situations happen in the near future.
Playkey has connection to all major launchers including Steam. You just enter your Steam account details and you will link Steam to Playkey. All saves will be sync with Steam as well.

You can transfer a game license on your own PC. Playkey games aren't locked to the service.
sorry if i overlooked it, but how much the games will cost than?
I think the monthly member dues will not contain games or every game?
I think the monthly member dues will not contain games or every game?
I believe that you need to purchase the games first on Steam. So yeah, the monthly fees do you include the games.
You can purchase a game on Steam or Playkey shop as well.
I agree that PLAYKEY should go to the manufacturers of smart TV and game consoles
Cooperation can give birth to a large and popular product
Cooperation can give birth to a large and popular product
Yes, Playkey will launch it's own cheap and easy to install console in future.
Oh cool, is this confirmed somewhere?
Cant imagine anything easier to install than a usb stick that u pop into the tv, then connect controller to it, and launch the app from the stick.
That would be a real light weight solution
Yes, in the Whitepaper

Playkey unique technology launches not a virtual machine that, you are right, needs a lot of storage but a virtual copy of a game. That requires much less storage and computer power. That's why Playkey has such amazing figures of growth.

Gamers have to buy a game either on Steam/Uplay/Origin... or on Playkey store. Game verification processed via game key you enter in you Steam/Uplay/Origin account.
Playkey has connected with all makor publishers and integrated their game launchers.
Which latest popular games they have? I dont played for a long time, because I dont have time now, but may be Ill try this 
GTAV, Overwatch, Dota2, WatchDogs 2, Witcher 3 and so on and so on, you can see the list on web site.The games they have are very big, and those games have millions of users. I cant find more information on the servers they will use. Or will they make a partnership with a blockchain that focus on renting out servers? I cant imagine the computing power you need with millions of people playing
Playkey use GTX1080 powered servers. Miners with Nvidia or AMD powered rigs will join Playkey Ecosystem
Just had a look at the new website.
I noticed that you now put SmartTV on the list of capable devices to play. Now that is also very cool. No more need for a PS or XBOX
I noticed that you now put SmartTV on the list of capable devices to play. Now that is also very cool. No more need for a PS or XBOX
but on the other hand, will be a smartTVs capacity good enough? as far as i know, most of them run on lowcost intel atom or quadcore qualcomm mobile phone cpus
and i think you need at least a good portion of RAM, too ><"All calculations are in a cloud. You need to install an app at SmartTV, connect gamepad and play. Easy.
Is it possible to participate in ICO with bitcoin? or only ETH?
You can participate with BTC
How will mining work as this is an ERC20 token if I'm not mistaken?
PKT is ERC20 token, you are right. Mining in Playkey is a little bit different: instead of calculating hash, miner shares his powerful computers, servers with gamers and receive PKT as a payment.
don't you think Ethereum smart contracts is too slow for a game mechanics ?
Playkey will temporary use offchain solution to speed up transactions inside the blockchain. PKT is only for payment between users and service providers, and doesn't affect gaming experience at all.
How users will can buy this tokens? May they buy tokens for fiat on your platform?
Yes, there will be an option to pay in fiat as they do now
Can anyone explain to me why experts believe the future of gaming is in the cloud? Thank you
YOu wont need to get expensive hardware to play games. Even in the west i think a lot more people would play games if they dont need to get hardware. Imagine all the poorer countries where
they cant afford the hardware, so are excluded from better games
So investing in cloud systems is also a good idea?
This idea is not new. A lot companies already tried cloud gaming ... and in the end, all had to close their service, because it wasn't profitable.
Playkey is the profitable service that will use blockchain to speed up an expansion to users around the world and to provide high-quality gaming experience. For each $ we invest, we receive $5.
Will you also be able to play MMO games on PlayKey? I know usually they dont need that high computer power but recently that's changing. If that will be possible, how you will prevent miners to access users account since sometimes they can reach huge value online.
You can play MMO on Playkey. All data is securely stored inside our software and miners can't see what happening on your account.
I'm not a fan of the online gaming but i am a crypto enthusiast and i guess, thru this token, i can be a good gamer.
I will start to know the game and promise to be a better noob.

lol, eSports keeps growing by the months! If there's money in the industry, I will invest!
The question to me is, does esport need a cloud gaming platform on blockchain tech? I can understand the growth of this industry and im a huge fan of anythign crypto related. Will need to look deeper into this project to understand why it would be best on a blockchain
Yes, we will support esport services and you can play MMOs at Playkey
Playkey uses blockchain to create a protocol for gaming, providing transparent transactions, smart contracts and monetization of services. To connect miners, gamers, publishers and service providers we need unified intracurrency to simplify transactions, and make them safe and reliable.
Is this platform a defentralized concept of Playstation Now? If so, thats pretty awesome! Will it incorporate console games, or just PC?
Yes, it has the same concept but focused on PC gaming and available on any devices. Not only PS.
