This is the same for any media though If publishers don't want to sell their games for whatever reason they will not sell it, and that's their right, how many japanese games take years to be released in west? We as customers have no power to decide whether a company have to sell their product to us or not, as long I'm not spending my money I don't care, it's them who are losing money, not me What cloud is coming to solve is this dreadful scene where the hardware is created to be replaced soon. You buy tons of games and then must pray for your hardware not stop working or pray for the manufacturer release a next gen console to be backwards compatible (and then spend more money buying a console that sometimes you don't even care just for the sake of keeping your library playable) Is this scene I'm losing my money buying some disposable piece of plastic that was never created to last in first place, it's the case of smartphones. Granted it's not annoy me quite as much as smartphones because consoles last at least 5 years, but still sad your library software is bonded to be unplayable eventually With Cloud as long the services keep going on you can play them. I understand the fear or services being shutdown if the company bankrupt or something alike, but I just don't see it happening. Gaming is the biggest and most prolific entertainment industry, it would need a true catastrophe for all cloud service games stop working Also, unlike hardware manufacturers I'm on the side cloud services will be much more competitive, not like our current oligopoly that's alone make my perspective about them being positive |
There's not much to argue here, so fair enough. You're looking at this from a somewhat different angle than I am, but cloud gaming sounds like it might eventually (or maybe even now) fit your desires. It does not and probably never will mine, but to each their own.
