Revolutionizing the video game industry, OnLive is the first distribution
service to successfully bring Cloud gaming to an international audience and is
already inspiring
the emergence of a new digital market. In this biographical article I hope to
take you on a journey exploring OnLive Founder and CEO Steve Perlman’s career, aspirations, and his
numerous accomplishments. Learn what has led this creative genius to the
forefront of innovation in the Cloud: His journey may surprise you.
Who is Steve Perlman?
OnLive Founder and CEO Steve Perlman has been pioneering the future of technology for nearly 30 years,
but his passion for invention and innovation began much earlier. As a young boy
in the 1960′s and 70′s, Steve experimented with clay animation short films as
well as computer and video game design. “Even as a toddler, I loved to make
things,” says Perlman. He would step forward through life with one
particular calling in mind: “building technologies to allow people to create
artificial worlds and interact with one another.”
After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, Steve worked on a parallel-processing graphics system as well as a massively-parallel 3D animation chip and a software-based high-speed modem at Atari and Coleco, respectively. Two years later he would join what has arguably become the most innovative company of our generation: Apple.
Upon joining Apple Computer, Inc. as a principal scientist in 1985, Perlman spearheaded development of the video compression technology which led to QuickTime. Aptly named Road Pizza, the Apple codec supported live-action video and was included with the first versions of QuickTime to be released in 1991. Steve also developed a system-on-a-chip silicon for another company named General Magic, which was included within the first Windows CEPDAs and software-based high-speed modem technology deployed by Broadcom. Three short years would see Perlman take his first steps into the world of video games.
In 1994, Perlman co-founded a company named Catapult Entertainment. Catapult introduced an online modem for the SNES and Sega Genesis systems which enabled the first successful online console gaming experience. Gamers could plug this XBAND modem into a phone line and use dial-up connectivity to play directly with or against other gamers on a selection of 28 titles spanning the two systems.
The XBAND service was a direct precursor to modern online video gaming. Arcades were still very popular at the time and the concept of online gaming was ambiguous at best. Surprisingly, many of the features we take for granted today (leaderboards, private messaging, usernames, ranks, avatars, etc.) were present on the service, which, at its height, had 7,000 subscribed members.
One year after Catapult launched XBAND, Steve created and co-founded a company which brought consumers the first television-based Internet browsing device. Called WebTV, this large and rectangular dark-grey box was sold with an infrared wireless keyboard and a remote which allowed users to browse the Internet using their television sets as monitors. “I’ve been working to create an interactive television my entire life,” says Perlman. “I always knew it was a way of bringing computers to average people.”
WebTV, like XBAND, connected through dial-up. It was a breakthrough device which gave affordable Internet access to a consumer base who, at that time, had many difficulties affording an expensive home computer. Because of this, Steve Perlman is credited with introducing the first true convergence product; combining Internet TV, interactive TV, digital TV, Digital Video Recording, and games into an integrated, simple and inexpensive consumer electronics device.
In 1999 Steve deployed the world’s first DVR through Dish Network. The Dishplayer Digital Video Recorder satellite receiver tripled the number of DVRs sold by all other manufacturers combined by selling over 200,000 units. But Perlman’s greatest accomplishments to date were still ahead, as the turn of the century would see him bring about a new advent in online interactive media.
One of the greatest difficulties Steve Perlman faced in Silicon Valley during this time period was finding somewhere to do effective Research & Development. Steve’s time at Apple had afforded the opportunity to work on intensely creative projects like color Macs, sound technology, 3-D, animation, and QuickTime under heavy pressure (a great motivator). However, “by 1989 or 1990, we couldn’t get things through the system anymore,” says Perlman.
Taking a position at Microsoft he faced similar problems, as competition was driving the company in various directions. Other possible options in Steve’s eyes included start-ups and universities; but the latter involves extremely scarce funding by comparison. As a solution to this problem, Rearden Steel was born.
“Silicon Valley forgot how to do R&D. I firmly believe that now.” — Steve Perlman
Rearden Steel, now Rearden Labs, or just, Rearden, was created in 1999-2000. Steve calls Rearden an incubator company: They take a look far into the future to see what technologies or production techniques might be needed, and go about trying to solve the problem. When they find a solution (or solutions) they think can work, those teams split off into a subsidiary company to focus on that problem.
“At that early stage, we won’t know how to solve it and won’t know how big the market will be when it’s solved. So, unfortunately, at that stage, you can’t bring in outside financing,” explains Perlman. “We fund the companies ourselves. Most of the things we’ve tried have worked.”
The company name Rearden, it’s worth noting, comes from one of the protagonists of Atlas Shrugged, the novel by Ayn Rand. In the book, Hank Rearden is an honorable genius who
battles the small-minded meddlers trying to bring him down; he invents a
stronger kind of steel and gets the girl. Perlman has since tried to distance
his incubator from Rand and her politically divisive libertarianism, but he
still talks like one of her characters, especially when he gets going about
Silicon Valley and his place in it. He figures that this region once teeming
with risk-takers has grown soft and unadventurous. Venture capitalists have
succumbed to funding Internet eye candy like social networks and coupon services
at the expense of breakthrough inventions. And yet a few people out there—him,
for instance—are still willing to do the whole blood, sweat, and tears thing.
“People have decided they don’t want to invent anything new anymore,” Perlman
says. “To hell with them.”
Steve also founded a home entertainment company in 2000 called Moxi Digital. This company would debut a STB (set-top box) which integrated Digital Video Recording, Music Jukebox, DVD player, and Internet Gateway into a single device called the Moxi Media Center. This technology could network wireless video, audio, and broadband throughout the home and is currently used by Comcast, Time Warner and Charter cable TV networks, among others.
Little did we know that, just 2 years later, Perlman and Rearden Labs would begin developing OnLive, the first successful international Cloud-distribution video game service.
Moving forward, in 2004 Steve began working with special effects geared towards cinematic film. The resulting technology, MovaContour, first garnered worldwide attention when it was used to graphically enhance and alter Brad Pitt’s face in the 2008 movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This technology was heralded as a breakthrough in face-capturing for its unmatched realism and accuracy. See How It Works.
A demonstration of his insight into the future of technology, one highly unpublicized mention must go to the fact that Perlman seeded initial funding into the Android operating system, supporting it and his friend, Andy Rubin, at a time when no one else would.
With that we move into the debut of OnLive in 2009. Steve Perlman walked onto the stage of 2009′s Game Developers Conference and changed the face of gaming forever. Secretly in development for 7 years, the compression algorithm OnLive has introduced is the first of its kind to bring high-definition, high-end, over-the-Internet Cloud gaming to international consumers.
In an interview, Steve Perlman said that his vision for the 21st century is the complete integration of cinema and video games; showcasing more realistic and interactive entertainment than we have ever known. Steve has claimed that Rearden, Mova, and OnLive will be combining their individual resources to bring an industry-wide shift in popular media through incredible 4K video resolution, unmatched realism with Mova Contour, and the possible use of DIDO wireless technology.
Utilizing the resources and findings of Rearden along with its spun out companies, OnLive and Mova, Steve Perlman plans to build a gaming experience the likes of which the world has not yet experienced. Combining these technologies with the computing powerhouse of massive data-centers, OnLive has the potential to provide games and services which utilize enormous amounts of processing power at an affordable cost for the first time in history.
Looking back on Perlman’s work we can clearly see how each of his projects has built on the foundation which has led to the creation and success of OnLive. Steve Perlman has been impacting the face of our technological landscape for nearly 30 years: His companies continue to inspire and impress an international market.
As an avid follower of Steve’s work for the last 2 decades, I can only wonder with excitement and anticipation at how the OnLive project will continue to evolve. Steve Perlman once said, “Innovation is a dish best served hot,” and I truly believe this man’s legacy is barely heating up.
OnLive usually releases games on tuesdays in the US, like the rest of the game industry. In OnLive's case, the games usually release during night, but not so this tuesday. OnLive tweeted that because of network maintenance, the PlayPass and PlayPack games will be released on tuesday afternoon.
As you have likely heard, OnLivechallenged the community on thursday.
If the OnLive
Facebook page could gain 10,000 Likes before
Saturday, all current US users would receive a game of their choice for only $1.
Well as you can predict the OnLive fanbase shattered this goal in roughly
7 hours and before day’s end the page had gained almost 13,000 Likes. However, the major concern in regards to this contest was all the newly
registered users.
But, OnLive has confirmed that they will continue this contest for the newly
registered users if their page continues to gain Likes. They have not given an
exact number, but the suggested total was 100,000 Likes by the next weekend.
Continue spreading the word to help out all the new users that likely registered
because of this contest.

A demo of FIFA 12 is now available to play through YouTube with no download, powered by Gaikai.
Clicking the demo banner on the game's YouTube page will launch a new window in which the game runs. The demo uses standard mouse and keyboard controls as well as controllers.
This is the first time a full 3D game has been available on YouTube, and could have profound consequences for developers who will be able to get their games out to a very wide audience quickly.
Here is hoping that EA brings the FIFA 12 full game experience to OnLive, since EA titles will start appearing on OnLive. Who wants to buy FIFA 12 for his PC based on a cloud powered demo and then find out that the game doesn't run on his PC?

Half a century after the Red Faction resistance and their Marauder allies freed
Mars from the brutal Earth Defense Force, harmony on Mars is again threatened
but this time by a lethal force shrouded in mystery.
When the massive Terraformer that supplies Mars with its Earth-like air and
weather is destroyed, the atmosphere turns to chaos, super-tornados and
lightning storms engulf the planet. To survive, the Colonists flee to the
underground mines and build a network of habitable caves.
Five years later, Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason
and Samanya, runs a lucrative business from Bastion, underground hub of Colonist
activity. Mining, scavenging, mercenary work--if the job is dangerous, Darius is
your man. Few sane people now venture to the ravaged surface, aside from
contractors like Darius and the smugglers who run goods between the settlements.
When Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder
temple, he releases a long-dormant evil and unleashes Armageddon on Mars. As
Colonist and Marauder settlements are torn asunder, only Darius and the Red
Faction can save mankind. The battle will take them across the storm-blasted
planet--and below it, to the very heart of the unspeakable threat.
OnLive Community Manager, Matt Jensen, challenged his boss by predicting that
OnLive could achieve their goal of 62,791 likes on Facebook by this upcoming
Saturday. If OnLive was able to reach this goal, every US gamer would be
eligible for a $1 game of their choice. If not, well we’ve heard speculation
that Mr. Jensen will be shot with a t-shirt gun.
Good news for the OnLive US gamers and Mr. Jensen’s ribs! OnLive has easily reached
their goal in a record setting fashion of about 7 hours! Everyone saw the 10,000 new
followers as a daunting challenge, but the OnLive fanbase has flexed their
e-muscles by reaching their goal not on Saturday not even Friday. The 10,000
like goal was reached before the end of thursday.
WOW, you all just exceeded my wildest expectations. We added 10,000 OnLive
fans in about 7 hours! That means WE won the bet, and every US OnLive user is
going to get their next Full PlayPass game for $1! Look for an email tomorrow
morning for your promo code and details! You guys proved me right, Thank you! –
Onlive MJ.
Thanks to everyone who participated. OnLive US users can expect an email tomorrow
with information regarding your $1 game. Now, what game will everyone be picking
up?
OnLive games that do not utilize OnLive’s Software Development Kit will not only have multiplayer
disabled, but any game not implementing the SDK will also be denied PlayPass
release and will automatically release for OnLive’s subscription based PlayPack.
Alexander Zubov, founder of Kot-In-Action Creative Artel, who recently released their first OnLive
title, Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, said this in an interview, when asked about how was working with the OnLive SDK, "We did not use the OnLive SDK for Steel Storm as we wanted to bring the game to
the gamers in the shortest possible time. Our next title might take full
advantage of the OnLive SDK."
On the question, why they decided to release the game as a PlayPack title, he replied, " PlayPass requires us to use the SDK and since we didn’t use it, the game
automatically releases in the PlayPack."
Finally, when asked if the game features multiplayer, he said, " The OnLive version currently does not offer multiplayer capabilities. We have to
integrate the SDK in order to enable the multiplayer."
OnLive Informer concluded an exclusive Interview with Alexander Zubov,
founder of Kot-In-Action Creative Artel, who recently released their first
OnLive title, Steel Storm: Burning Retribution. Kot-In-Action is a
very small indie studio based out of Del Rio, Texas. The team consists of two
full-time members as well as several part-time members around the world. The
team began their careers in video gaming as modders for ID Software’sQuake series. Their interview was focused on the overall process of porting a game
to the OnLive service.
Interestingly, according to Kot-In-Action, a game which does not utilize
OnLive’s Software Development Kit will not only have multiplayer disabled, but
any game not implementing the SDK will also be denied PlayPass release and will
automatically release for OnLive’s subscription based PlayPack. Read on below for the
full interview.
About Steel Storm: Burning Retribution
The events around Steel Storm: Burning
Retribution take place in an alternative universe where you control an advanced
hovertank, packed with the most advanced and sophisticated weapons. Your task is
simple but nevertheless, is not trivial. In the fight with presumed
extraterrestrial invaders, you must prevail!
The Interview:
Informer: Having just
completed your first-ever port to the OnLive system, how did you like
it?
Alex: It was a pleasant experience. We just had to
tune up the menu and add a virtual keyboard. The rest of the game is pretty much
the same as on PC.
Informer:
I’ve read that you wanted to bring Steel Storm to mobile devices. Did this help
sway you to OnLive with the iPad and Android apps expected to release this
year?
Alex: The decision to make an OnLive port was
unrelated to desires to have Steel Storm on mobile platforms. We still would
love to get the game running on the mobile platforms natively, but now that you
mention OnLive for iPad and Android, I am thinking maybe we can provide a great
experience for mobile gamers sooner rather than later, using the OnLive
platform.
Informer:
Overall, how long was the porting process and how did it compare to say,
bringing the title to Steam?
Alex: It was a relatively short process. It took us
maybe a week or two to finalize the port. As the game was designed for PC, you
can imagine the process of putting it on Steam (on the technical side) took less
time.
Informer: Was working with OnLive’s SDK
complex at all or did you run into any trouble?
Alex: We did not use the OnLive SDK for Steel Storm
as we wanted to bring the game to the gamers in the shortest possible time. Our
next title might take full advantage of the OnLive SDK.
Informer:
What made you decide to add it as a PlayPack title instead of for
PlayPass?
Alex: PlayPass requires us to use the SDK and since
we didn’t use it, the game automatically releases in the PlayPack.
Informer:
How was the overall process of adding gamepad support?
Alex: The game natively supports Xbox 360 gamepads
and any standard Windows-compatible gamepads. Therefore the support was
available already.
Informer: I
believe ‘Steel Storm’ was the first title to release to OnLive that utilizes the
DarkPlaces Engine. Did this complicate things at all?
Alex: Not at all. The only thing we had to fix and
enable was the Direct3D 9 renderer (DarkPlaces Engine has both OpenGL and
Direct3D renderers, but by default it uses the OpenGL renderer). We are
certainly hoping for more titles that utilize the DarkPlaces Engine to come to
OnLive.
Informer:
Now about the game. It's nice to see the prior Humble Bundle games getting access
to the service. How would you describe Steel Storm to players who’ve never heard
of it?
Alex: Steel Storm: Burning Retribution is a
third-person arcade shooter with old school spirit, hordes of enemies,
destructible worlds, ground-shaking explosions. The player drives a hovertank
called Steel Storm through the enemy’s front lines, completing mission
objectives and earning the highest score possible, and Challenges, aka
Achievements. The game has an unlockable chase camera view, a bunch of powerful
and destructive weapons, huge bosses and smart enemies. If you have an appetite
for destruction and exploration, a dash of tactics, and core old school style
gameplay, you will enjoy playing Steel Storm.
Informer:
Roughly how long would you say the game is?
Alex: The PC demo version includes approximately 40
minutes of gameplay on Arcade difficulty (easy). The demo is only the tip of the
iceberg, The full game contains approximately 20 hours of gameplay, depending on
your skill and the difficulty level.
Informer:
Does ‘Steel Storm: Burning Retribution’ feature multiplayer or
co-op?
Alex: The OnLive version currently does not offer
multiplayer capabilities. We have to integrate the SDK in order to enable the
multiplayer.
Informer:
Thanks for your time. Is there anything you would like to add for our
readers?
Today is friday, so it is time for the fifth and final game of the 5 Days of $5 Fridays Finale by OnLive. And the game in honor of this title is truly deserving, let us all hail to the king, that is Duke himself in his latest adventure Duke Nukem Forever. Today, Duke Nukem Forever, a game published by 2K Games and developed by Gearbox Software, can be yours for, guess what, $5. Off course PlayPack subscribers can get the game even
cheaper, in this case $3.5.
Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on
hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he
gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to
Earth yet again, messing up Duke's sweet routine of dirty leisure habits.
The Alien invaders are stealing Earth's women, especially the hot ones! And they
drank Duke's beer.
This. Won't. Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once
beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before
his eyes. Time to bring the pain!
Ego, and then Some: Step into the shoes of Duke Nukem, the steroidal One-Man
Army who never fails and always gets the Babes.
Bust a Gut: Duke pulls no punches. He does and says the things you are thinking.
Duke's constant stream of hilarious one-liners throughout the game will have
gamers rolling.
World Interactivity: Spend as much time as you want shooting hoops, lifting
weights, playing pinball, pool, air hockey, and slots.
Scale & Variety: This game has it all; packed with explosive FPS action,
outlandish settings, vehicle driving, and puzzle solving - gamers will never
tire of the endless FUN.
Multiplayer Like No Other: Duke re-envisions classic modes of play in his own
hilarious and humiliating way. Shrink your opponent and squash him with your
foot. Freeze and shatter him. Attach explosives to his back. Roll a pipe bomb
between his legs, or just frag him old-fashioned with a rocket.
