Well, that's unexpected to say the least.

If it is true, which one will they buy? Onlive that already works or Gaikai, which has said a lot but has done nothing?

i would put money on Gaikai because last week they said they have a major announcement for e3!

Maybe.

@Basil_ the downside of Onlive/gaikai (lag aside) is that you won't "own" the games. In Steam/Origin/GoG/etc. you still have to download the games so you own a little bit of them, and you can play off-line. But in Gaikai/Onlive you own nothing, and there's the obvious need to be always online.

I'm not ready for that future. And maybe I'll never be.
