That's why physical gaming will always be the safest system around. And even with traditional digital-only, you download the game once and it's in your hard drive forever. Everytime you want to play with streaming, you have to charge it on your internet data cap. In the long run it depends more on it.

Sure but as an old member on VGchartz we had threads like this over and over again...we had even those movie blu ray threads with fanatics who didn't believe streaming movies services will be that popular and most will still buy movies.    You don't like streaming games like PSNOW I am fine with it and I was not happy with the service but I see the appeal for others and I believe it has a place on the market.

Oh, I'm not doubting streaming has a place in the gaming market, I'm just saying this is not nearly close to the revolution Google is trying to make it look like. I remember when motion controlls, VR and even digital only were rumoured to turn the gaming space upside down, and they ended up just becoming a small part of it. A complementary part, but not the whole of it. Streaming will find its audience due to its advantages, but it certainly won't change the minds of the majority of gamers due to its very obvious flaws. More options is always nice.
