Although it is worse than the DRM scandal of last year it won't be considered as much of a problem.


We all know why.


yep, because psnow is a new alternative choice to the traditional buisness model instead of taking the exisiting business model and chaning it for the worse.


but that alternate choice is just as bad as Sim City or Diablo 3 seriously i have no idea why anyone thinks this is a good idea when streaming games is just as bad as what Micrsoft tried to pull last year and what Bizarrd and EA pulled with those 2 games that rightfully were criticize big time for those stunts and Sony should be as well just in case if they are trying to make cloud gaming the future.


if you don't like the choice don't choose it.  i love netflix.  a netflix like gaming streaming service is something i would like if the content for the price hits the right balance.  if you don't like netflix buy dvds.  if you don't like psnow buy the disc.  

but the reason sony isn't getting critisized is still very simple,.. they are building a new alternative service.   it very well may fail but if it succeeds it is because consumers choose it over the other options not because they were forced to.   people hate feeling like they are forced to do something.  that, and only that, is why sony isn't being scandalized like xbox was last year.  choice. 


but streaming a movie and a game are 2 very different things like when you're streaming a movie  you don't need to worry about input lag which already there makes games like platformers, fighting games, or action games just to name a few genres that will be afffect by streaming in a bad way while only possibly only leaving turn base games feel a bit playable unplayable cause of that there is just way to many cons for me to see streaming as a viable opition for gaming and also you have to leave in the hands of multiple companies to have there sh!t together ranging from a developer/publisher, your internet provider, and the host of the service in order for you to enjoy a game that just kills  the conveince of the physcal and to some extent downloadable games and not having to worry about like a middle man screwing it all up.
