Except that everything is under NDA and nobody except the two parties know actually what, if anything, is going on.. =)

True. Though I bet my left nut that greasing the wheels and posting in forums does help. I'm not saying I'm the reason for this, but I contacted the developer of Bastion asking about an Onlive version, they said they weren't familiar with the service and that they'd check into it, and 2 months later bastion was on the service. Which is good cuz that's a good game and onlive was the only way I could play it.

Short version:

2Ghz Dual Core CPU
2GB RAM
DirectX 9.0c (Shader Model 3) Graphics card w/ 512MB

I see what you mean, for the best play thats quite a demanding spec and rules out a lot of note-book / laptop and lowend PC systems.

Fortuantely for me I have a Media PC which I built that easily encompases the recommend spec, however there are a lot systems that cannot.

Although to be honest, one could get a Pentium D 3.4GHz / 2GB RAM / 1GB Radeon 4550 system VERY cheap these days.... flop-on XP/Vista/Win7 pending your flavour and away you go...

If you dont have / want a Wintel box, you could look at running this on Linux Under WINE - for that I would suggest an NVidia graphics card asw these are better supported under most *nix distro's, my favourite being the 9800 GTX - it is a very capable gfx card and can be sourced quite cheap on eBay

However those that like their netbook and eeepcs are outa luck, so perhaps in time to come an OnLive service could be offered (should there be enough demand)

I think once that Almost Human have had this launched in the distribution model that have setup it could be a very good opportunity for them to expand into the OnLive distribution - if only to entice more players to the game / genere.... but this would depend on whatever deal the developers and OnLive can come together on.

However as mentioned before there are ramifications to how much time / cost a redeveloped OnLive version would be and an expected net gain... dumpster diving isn't any fun.... especially if you go by CSI Las Vagas!

Looks like to me you are advertising How much do they pay?

I was having fun with the text attributes =)

Geez guys, I assembled one computer with this specs about three years ago. And I'm on the university, earning 150 USD from a scholarship I own from my scientific initiation, in my third world country.

I still have that computer and I appraise it's current price is 350 USD. System requirements are not that high. (Although the games does look good)

I'm glad you can afford to assemble a computer at all. I hope that you never have to be in a situation where even that is out of your means, but you need to understand that there are people who are. Myself included.

I'm sorry if you encounter yourself in this situation, but as I said, I live alone with 150usd in a third world country and I still manage to save money. And no, the city I live is not cheap. At least where I live, a broadband necessary to run OnLive without lags cost more monthly than paying one time for the parts necessary to assemble said computer.
I don't have broadband and I have to use the University one, so I can't even do P2P connections (university proxy) to play games like Dota. So I find rather more expensive to pay monthly for a good internet connection than pay a single time for a computer.
