An excellent example of middleware would be a suite of software that helps serve an online gaming environment. More and more frequently, online games feature high-definition, high-resolution, graphic-intense presentations. Traditional server solutions are no longer enough to facilitate such online gaming experiences, especially if they are multi-player. Middleware helps bridge the gap, both in reality and in virtual reality.

Hi
I'm a computer layman so I request you to be specific. Thanks.
Is middleware a separate software which needs to be installed in order to play games online? I have seen my cousins playing online multi-player games without the use of any additional software except the game software? Where does this middleware software reside? Does it require a central server? Is it like torrent software (which I think is a middleware) because it allows different users to interact via some server(s). Please help me with it. Thank you.
