Mashable has rumors layoffs at OnLive amid a retraction of their original report that the cloud gaming service was shutting down today following a
tweet by InExile's Brian Fargo to that effect (thanks nin). The story currently suggests the entire staff has been let go, though some may be rehired for the company's next phase. Mashable's official statement from OnLive on this is: "no comment on the news other than to say, the OnLive service is not shutting down."
Kotaku notes that the
OnLive Blog has word on a free indie game giveaway, to the extent you can own a game streamed from the cloud, saying they are offering SpaceChem and Space Pirates and Zombies (S.P.A.Z.) for free.
Update: Gamasutra now says they can confirm that the entire OnLive staff was fired today.

You still can play any of the games as most have keys or use your credentials. Steam has no control over your games, only over their service. Many of the games once I buy them I don't even run steam. mag is right and you are full of poo |
