OnLive expands service to Europeans outside the U.K.

Newsbrief: Game streaming service OnLive is expanding to offer its full suite of services to customers in Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway. If your game is available on OnLive, people in countries other than the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom can now create OnLive accounts and pay to play it. OnLive general manager Bruce Grove stated in a press release confirming the expansion that, based on traffic patterns witnessed by OnLive, European interest in the service "has continued to grow." "We've completed the network operations necessary to deliver full services in these regions," added Grove. "Expect more announcements in the very near future." First launched in 2009, OnLive laid off all its employees and shut down in 2012 before being reborn under new management earlier this year.
