said by Marduk:said by PapaMidnight:said by Karl Bode:It's not yours, in the same sense that renting a game from Gamefly is not yours. Which doesn't bother me necessarily, as I find the $60 per game price tage these days obnoxious.
I think the idea has merit if priced right and done right. I just doubt it's OnLive that does it right. We'll see.
I know what you mean. I was getting multiple games for less than $10 a pop not even 10 years ago.
Strange....I remember buying Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 games for upwards of $50.
The same with any top-of-the line system of the time.
Xbox360 games are $60, new PC games are close to that as well...
Of course, you could buy xbox and PS2 games for $5-10, but who wants to do that?
Long ago I stopped buying new games. Now I rent console titles through Gamefly, and buy games through Steam when they go on sale. With very few exceptions.
