Google working on Yeti cloud gaming service?

Google isn't really a company we associate with gaming, but word is going around that its engineers are hard at work on a new game streaming service. The project is codenamed "Yeti" and would run on the Google Chromecast or a different Google-made device. So far, game streaming services haven't seen a lot of success. In theory, it can allow you to play games with very high graphical quality on very low-end devices, but you do need absolute minimum lag for a good experience.

The service, codenamed Yeti, would put Google at the forefront of a new part of the videogame business that lets people play games as they're being streamed, rather than using downloads or disks, the report said.

The plan that Google has been working on involves use of its cloud servers to broadcast the games to users over the internet, the Information report said, citing people with knowledge of the project.
