The greed of those companies will pretty much destroy cloud gaming, or what it could've become. If that trend continues, exclusivity will become a norm and we'll be forced to pay well over $100 per month (and I'm being generous with this estimate) to enjoy AAA games, or any new games in that matter.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if, in the near future, games from those big publishers, would become stream platform exclusives. And THAT terrifies me as that'd mean end of consoles (and PC gaming), end of ownership, end of modding, end of cheap games, end of emulation and end of offline gaming.

I mean, we're already doing that with the media sector. It's likely to happen with the gaming sector, and we've also got it happening with the music sector as well. Pretty sure ebooks are following this trend slightly as well. Pretty much every facet of media is being split up and turned into sub fees. Sure it looks affordable to some, but really if you add all these subs, from every type of media, we're actually just paying more, and owning less of it.
