This is not to mention that I find the Stream only future of gaming to be very alarming issue. It seemingly is centered on less of what consumers WANT gaming to be and more on how developers can alter the landscape to benefit them. Streaming has taken hold of all other media formats because they are static, non intereactive mediums (Movies, music). A video game is constantly changing and shifts depending on who is playing it. A Stream only future sounds impossible for small fledgling developers and would pretty much kill the indie scene and we are back to AAA Publisher owning everything and suffering from extreme tunnel vision.

Are any of us really thinking this through? Discuss.

That's what people said about mobile gaming and now it it's huge and millions of people are playing even games like Fortnite/PUBG on it.  Same about digital games, ten years ago MS announced their first game Tomb Raider anniversary to also be digital available and we had hundreds of disscussions that gamers don't want it and now we are used that a huge chunk of sales are digital.
