Did you try it with RC yet? I would be a bit concerned about their licencing system.
Hi Gotz!
I’m using a steam licence… We need/have steam infrastructure anyway for the VR stuff and having a floating (though account tied) licence does make life easier. So as long as you had an internet enabled instance, steam and hence RC should be good to roll!
And yes - there are pre-made instances for steam (quite a few people use the cloud servers to host games - turn them on just for your clan practice times (pick a zone handy to your players and they usually have very good network connectivity).
For azure, you use the azure “store” to get your pre-made instance (usually free). On azure, microsoft covers all the various licence/CAL costs (really cheap way to host sql database instances!). Amazon call them Amazon machine images (AMI) and also have a marketplace for them (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/ref= … ct?b_k=291).
So you could grab an AMI (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B … duct_title) install it to your instance (few seconds), then load steam and RC.
There is also a very low storage cost ($0.10/gb/month) for non-instance storage (belongs to the account, not the instance) but your files are available on all your active instances.
All the cloud services have a free tier or new user free time to get you started. Have a play, watch the videos - see which one works for you!
