We're doing gaming all wrong, says the CEO of UK-based Polystream, Bruce Grove, and that includes Google new cloud-based games service Stadia that was announced last month.

Currently, you either have to force users to download massive files (and updates) to their machines, or build huge, inefficient streaming services that process games in the cloud and stream video streams to users. But Grove claims there is a third way.
