Well if you rent the game and then buy it afterwords it better not cost more than if you would just buy cause that would be very stupid.

I think you would need a time limit on that or something. I understand why that would be nice...but it's not like you can rent a game from Blockbuster and then expect it to be cheaper when buying it.

On-topic...today's Steam update, namely the added "right click to view game account for subscription based games" was for games like Age of Conan and such which already exist on Steam.

I doubt they're going to do a rental system.

 

While that would be nice to be able to simply rent games, I also doubt that'll happen (though I'd really like it to happen).

Still, I think they would be able to do it with Steam. I mean, they have free weekends where you don't have to own the game and you're able to play the full game for two or three days and they also allow you to gift a three day trial to people too which does the same thing.

They could potentially do a rental like system with Steam.
