Translated from PR-speak:
"Select games" = Publishers need to opt in with each game and most of them will probably just make available two-year-old B-rate titles.
"Subject to available service capacity" = Subscribers have greater priority than you, and if you can't play your rented game, welp, no refunds.
"Priced on a per-game basis" = Price-gouged by publishers.
Yawn. Nothing to see here.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
