It was a horrible idea to begin with. I wonder how much money they will have lost on this failed investment when all is said and done.

Btw, I predict that the future of OnLive will be terminated some time in 2010.

You are predicting a lifespan for OnLive to be shorter than that of the XFL?  Why don't you see technology like this catching on, once the bandwidth gets up there, or it appear in the equivalent of arcades?

In the future when the tech has matured and internet is faster everywhere, then yes it's possible. In a decade or two. But that's not gonna be called OnLive for sure. OnLive will die within a year or two and we wont be hearing about cloud gaming for several years.

And still, imagine a decade from now another company comes up with a similar solution but this time the tech is mature, then there's still the problems that Soleron wrote about (in the 2nd or 3d post I think) - that it will still be practical for people to have their own hardware at home because it's so cheap.
