Really? The only real issue I can think of is maybe not being to go back and play really old games, since the servers may be down or whatever. Personally that's not a problem, I never go back that far, the farthest I've gone this gen is playing Fallout 3 in 2011.

I'm looking forward to it.

How can giving the content provider complete control over the content be a good thing? There's already problems enough with digital distribution, like people getting banned from the EA forums and losing access to their Origin games. Fuck that shit. Maybe I'm just old, but games as a service rather than a good sounds beyond horrible to me.

Isn't that kindof stuff already happening now on phyisical copies with stuff like online passes?

Maybe if consumers wise-up and stop supporting anti-consumer business practices than things will get better, but that's being optimistic.

I can imagine a company like Steam having a great streaming service.
