| superchunk said: Some of those cons are no different with a console. Hardware breaks, network goes down on a MP game, want some better feature/game on rival console, must buy that console and games don't cross over, etc... its a lot of the same with the exception of company no longer providing service. This is the only reason I'd rather see digital download vs pure cloud gaming. At least with digital download, Steam/Origin/etc can simply send out an unlock feature that would no longer utilize their back-end as a worst case scenario. |
There aren't that many games out now that are MP only, though, since most of them have some kind of single player component. If something goes wrong with the cloud service, you can't play any games. If your MP goes down on your console/physical game, you can still play other games if you have any.
I think that's why I love games like Dead Island, Borderlands and White Knight Chronicles. If the servers or your connection goes down, you can still make progress on your character that you use for MP.
