In the 80's people were told not to trust banking ATMs...

In the 90's people were told not to trust digital music...

In the 2000's people were told not to trust internet streaming of movies...

In the 2010's people are told not to trust the cloud...

People have to start understanding that the cloud is just beginning... And like it or not it will be here going forward for a long time. Disc media is too small for the biggest new games that will come out. And publishers want to guarantee what they perceive as their fair share of revenues.

Sure their are problems today with latency, cyber attacks, etc. But, they will all be solved because ISPs, console vendors, and publishers are motivated to solve them.

Doesn't mean there won't be victims along the way as the kinks are sorted out via trial and error, and it doesn't mean we should throw caution in the wind as we're part of this evolutionary process.

I'm totally okay and even embrace the changes and advances in technologies, but it's not going to be a perfect utopia of tech right off the bat.

Progress is never made by "cautious" endeveurs... Progress is made by the bold visionaries.

I totally agree. People inventing technologies are brilliant minds that go against the status quote and should continue to push the human race. People using these technologies however should be aware that the progress and new technologies won't be fullproof and without issues. There will always be people that want to create chaos and harm for the sake of it, and the "testers" should at least know what they could be in for.
