 patcat88 join:2002-04-05 Jamaica, NY kudos:1 1 edit | piracy and no broadband So how will you pirate games if they are purely online? 
There goes renting and right of first sale. Heck, you can BUY it and then RENT it and watch developer inserted online ADS in it. Awesome business model right?
Also large portions of the USA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD has 1 mbit DSL and 3 mbit cable, or no broadband. In urban areas physical gaming will become extinct, but it will live on in the rural areas like landlines. There is also the problem of rapid transit system tunnels and no cell service. And 3G latency and jitter makes gaming hard. LTE isn't live yet, and Clearwire is only doing secondary markets, and it will be a long time before Clearwire gets access to auto tunnels and rapid transit tunnels. |
