Hahahahahahahaaaa.
What do you expect? Few will be able to afford to play their whizbang-5000 games. We already saw it play out with VR.
You might be right. But charging them $15 a month to stream their whizbang-5000 games is still an option. Especially for Microsoft and Sony. (And Amazon wants in on that too.)
Dingaling! They will rent it to you and it will have latency issues, but who cares money.
I will say technologically my trials of both Google Stadia and Xbox Live Play Anywhere were both impressive and ran well for single player and co-op games. But the idea of actually paying an ongoing fee to play my games? Fuck that.
People said this about movies too, don't be too optimistic
Yeah, perhaps they'll start bundling network play time with the game and we won't have a choice aside from playing our existing games.
