honestly, i doubt this will work. people with normal connection will never be able to play it this way.

Internet connections will keep increasing more and more. 9 years ago I had a 128kbs connection, but now I have 100 times that + unlimited traffic, This will hold true to the rest as time is in favour of Onlive and every other digital service.

Your thought was the same as Microsoft's a few years ago, when Valve went to them with an idea to make a DD Service for games, and Microsoft declined and told them it was 10 years too early to make such service. Then Valve created Steam, which is now printing money, while Microsoft had to swallow their own words and is trying (and failing) to catch Valve with inferior DD services like Xbox Live and GFWL (lol),

 

You're also talking about bandwidth, and not latency.  Latency is actually the problem here, and the reason it's not going to work.
