Srovnání herních cloudových služeb

The topic of this diploma thesis is cloud game services. The aim of this work is to compare current cloud game services and differences in requirements for them between Czech and foreign players. This is achieved by an analysis of the development of the gaming industry and its current state, a comparison of services based on a questionnaire survey between the gaming community, and a real test of one of the services. The diploma thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part of the thesis is theoretically focused and analyzing the video game industry in terms of historical evolution, current methods of monetization, industry size, player base structure and the position of cloud services in the game market. The second part of the work is practically oriented and consists of a comparison of services for cloud gaming and a practical test. The services are compared on the basis of the multi-criteria scientific method of the Fuller's triangle, with the weights of the individual criteria determined by a questionnaire survey among the gaming community. The GeForce Now service is practically tested, and the test collects technological data on the quality of the transmitted image within a combination of several different Internet connections, several different hardware-strong physical devices, as well as several games. Based on this data, I evaluate within pre-defined questions how much the service is currently usable, especially for mobile devices.
