Hi there! I'm the founder of Agones, so wanted to give some additional perspective.

GCGS provides a lot of functionality over the top of Agones. The big win here is that while Agones works great within a single Kubernetes cluster, it requires a lot of manual work to orchestrate across multiple clusters.

This is what Google Cloud Game Servers brings to the table - flexible ways to orchestrate and manage multiple Agones clusters around the world, and the Fleets of warm Game Servers on them.

We also work really hard so that is it's easy to move from open source Agones -> GCGS, but also move back out of you no longer want our management layer.

There's more stuff on top of that, but I hope that helps clear things up

Oh yeah, I didn't mean it to be a knock against Agones, more that there seemed to be a fair amount of marketing speak in the google copy("supercharged", "Companies like Activision Blizzard are benefiting from our ... artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities") and it wasn't clear what the value was.

Honestly, your comment is much clearer than most of the linked article.
