Joystiq - "This is gonna change the world." Since our E3 meeting with OnLive CEO Steve Perlman and Joe Bentley, director of games & media development, wasn't filmed, we have no way to convey to you the absolute sincerity with which Bentley said these words. He further assured us, "I left a very successful startup to do this."
Indeed he did -- three years ago, Bentley quit his "architect" job at outsourcing firm LiveOps (where he built software) for OnLive, after seeing parent company Rearden Labs' Mova motion capture technology. And now? Now he's busy helping manage the launch and continued growth of OnLive. He's also busy trying to convince us of the service's promise in the coming months and years.
To begin to answer just how OnLive might "change the world," Bentley and company head Steve Perlman pointed to the immediacy of the service. "It's really about delivering the best games to the consumer on an instant basis. One of the unique things about our service that's really not available on any other service is the idea of rentals. GameStop's closed, Blockbuster's closed, it's the middle of the night and you wanna play something," Perlman explained. "That instant 'I wanna do that now' is what we're really gonna bring to the market that no one else is doing."
