Being an avid video gamer (PlayStation 3) I found an intriguing article on Time Magazine’s web site. The article centers on Game Stop’s acquisitioning of Impulse and Spawn Labs. “Impulse” is a platform that has been compared to the likes of an iTunes for games. “Spawn Labs” is an engineering firm that creates streaming technology for video games. Spawn Labs will be used as the cloud computing component of the company. Game Stop is a conglomerate with 6,200 stores, a GameStop.com website, EBGames.com, and owns the ever popular Game Informer magazine (a must for checking out game ratings before purchasing). If the acquisitions were not enough then a posting discovered by Digital Trends further raised brows. Game Stop appears to be in the market of seeking a Senior Software Engineer with Android experience. That could be the final component streaming games from a data center directly to a player’s console.
