I can see that long-term, but the overlap of games I already own would be a huge rip-off. Zalis Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 02:49:19 PM
Also, I'm wondering how this, if it gains a significant user base, would affect game sale calculations. Steam can track its purchases down to the exact number, and everything brick & mortar is reported back via vendors. Would OnLive then just gobble up bunches of licenses, estimating the demand?
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

Continuing my personal publicity campaign, I remind you all that OnLive launches tomorrow. Aemon - 16/06/2010 05:06:21 PM 919 Views
Not yet interested, but watching. I'm curious about how game ownership will work. (or not) *NM* Zalis - 16/06/2010 07:33:38 PM 291 Views
In the worst case, you buy for full price and pay 14.95 to play. Aemon - 16/06/2010 08:24:30 PM 662 Views

Well no, I wouldn't re-buy a game. I almost never play old games, though. Aemon - 17/06/2010 03:13:53 PM 642 Views
Sales matter when good, under-publicized games don't sell millions, which means no sequels. Zalis - 17/06/2010 03:25:41 PM 659 Views
I just meant that the actual numbers aren't important. The dollars coming in obviously are. Aemon - 17/06/2010 06:33:45 PM 666 Views
On the wait list... we'll see *NM* BlackAdder - 16/06/2010 08:37:25 PM 402 Views
I like the concept of OnLive soilent brad - 16/06/2010 10:59:12 PM 779 Views
See my response to Zalis. Aemon - 17/06/2010 04:27:22 AM 809 Views
What's the price that you pay for a new game? soilent brad - 17/06/2010 04:57:56 AM 843 Views
To be fair, I said that was the worst case. We don't really know the pricing model yet. Aemon - 17/06/2010 03:07:37 PM 759 Views
True, though I'm assuming we do now (it launched a couple days ago, right? ) soilent brad - 19/06/2010 04:47:15 PM 865 Views

AT&T? Really? Good luck with that. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/06/2010 12:32:02 AM 290 Views
I like the concept... Jacob - 17/06/2010 03:46:58 PM 665 Views
Exactly my opinion. Aemon - 17/06/2010 06:38:57 PM 626 Views
Sure... Jacob - 18/06/2010 03:21:40 PM 682 Views
I'm on the wait list - still waiting *NM* Sir Tybalt - 21/06/2010 03:07:51 PM 312 Views
Me too. When I posted this, I didn't realize it was a phased rollout or whatever. Aemon - 21/06/2010 06:56:12 PM 845 Views
