Kalydo is a proprietary cloud gaming technology and service based on file streaming. The Kalydo platform launched commercially in 2008 and has been in service since. The Kalydo file streaming technology allows games to be played immediately, without the need of downloading and installation, providing faster and easier access to games. Games running on Kalydo do so via the proprietary Kalydo Player plugin and can run in a browser, or from the PC desktop.
Many games that have been launched using Kalydo are subsequently serviced through social networks and game portals such as Facebook, Kongregate and Miniclip.
Kalydo made its service readily available to "developers of every size"[1] on July 9, 2013 by introducing a low entry pricing structure and one-month try before you buy period.
