SCE buys Gaikai, Sony make first move into Streaming Games

[crissindahouse]

i think it could be a good decision but what i really don't get, if we will get the opportunity to stream the games on whatever device, why exactly is that good for game developers? sure sony would say something like "pay 15 bucks a month and play whatever you want" and they would give the developers a part of that but this can't really bring as much money to them as selling the game as download or at retail.

i just hope this isn't true because then, developers couldn't invest so much in the games. if developers will make the same money and will have the same money to invest in huge games, i have no problem with it and would like the idea if i can still get the games on retail or so because i think at least for multi-player, lag will always be too much and yeah, not even sure if my internet will be still as horrible as it is right now in the next years^^
