“Father Of PlayStation” Explores Cloud Computing
Ken “Father of the PlayStation” Kutaragi has his head in the clouds. Cloud computing, that is. Yeesh, that pun was worse than I thought it’d be, sorry.
Last month the Honorary Chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment founded Cyber AI Entertainment Inc. which will specialize in entertainment-focused remote data management.
90 percent of the new 20 million yen ($222,500) company is owned by Kutaragi, Nikkei reports, with the remaining 10 percent being held by board member Takashi Usuki, a former Sony Engineer.
Speaking on the direction of the company, Kutaragi said "We'll initially focus on research and development relating to information processing, targeting cutting-edge networking operations.”
With Kutaragi’s history with the video game industry up to 2007, there is no doubt that Cyber AI could be looking to change the way games are played. We’ll have to wait to see just how the company fits into place within the industry.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
