Facts
Game streaming - I was trying out MechWarrior 2, which is a PlayStation game. When you get it, the screen is scrambled, but it looked like video compression. After trying a bunch of games, it seems that every platform, with the possible exception of the Atari 2600 ones are streamed. Isn't it wasteful to stream video for a SNES or Amiga game that can run on a toaster nowadays?
Analysis
Antstream - I think I know what this is now. Antstream Arcade is a streaming service for thousands of officially licensed old games. It is available for Xbox Series X but costs 400 kr. 'Retro Classics' is the subset of Antstream Arcade that contains the games that are owned by Microsoft, including games by Activision, Sierra (owned by Vivendi, and subsequently Activision), Infocom (merged with Activision in 1987, changed their name to Mediagenic in 1989, went bankrupt in 1991, changed their name back to Activision, now with Bobby Kotick as CEO).
