the day cloud gaming becomes the norm is the day i will quit. I like having my consoles and physical copies of games taking up so much space in my house lol.

You and me both.

That and the fact that I'm not going to allow myself to be reliant on the 'goodwill' of a company to keep something I like alive for an indefinite period of time.

Add me to the list. No way I'm trusting a company that could go under or otherwise mess with my games, to hell with that. I want to actually OWN my games, not just access to them, which could be taken away at any moment. Not to mention the waste of internet...

I don't think that could even possibly happen. Laws will prevent you ever losing your games, even if a company goes under.


No they wont. Because a product and a service arent the same thing. Cloud gaming is a service. You are paying for a service, when the service is no longer available you dont pay it anymore, but you dont have a right to the contents in it after it stops. You are paying for the ability to acess them temporarily.

Its the same thing as Xbox gold at the moment for example. Microsoft can bring down the servers any time they want for a certain game and you wont get any re-emburse for the lost ability to play online. Half the game is lost right there and no one gives it back to you.If its already like this why would you think it would be any different in the future? Iwata is right.
