I don't see OnLive killing Steam, it´s like: If you can afford/have the hardware, go for Steam, pay for the game and play until your fingers fall; If you can't, you go OnLive and "rent" what you want.
OnLive is more flexible, I believe, and require less initial spendings (hardware), but Steam has that little "don't pay a monthly fee!"
And unless internet speed gets it's booom worldwide, i can't see how a OnLive game could lag less then a Steamed (unless you have some problems, anyway).
Maybe Valve an buy OnLive and make it some kind of "rent-service". xD
"How hard would it be to randomize facial features and skin tones? That's what we want, to feel like we're killing hundreds of different people. Not a bunch of clones or twins. We want to know, deep down, that there are hundreds of grieving mothers out there, lamenting the terror of our dreaded blade."
