He says that OnLive won't wipe out consoles overnight. It will be a very gradual process.

He pretty much repeats everything I said here in System Wars. :P

im not worried that it would destroy console gaming if it became popular. im worried that onlive would **** up gaming itself, including PC gaming, if it became popular.

can you imagine a world where people dont own games anymore, where all your games are controlled by a corporate website to which you pay a monthly subscription? where you are permanently "renting" your games. where the companies still technically own the games you are playing. And none of you have a problem with that?

of course thats not going to happen. onlive is not going change gaming and become the most popular thing ever. onlive, in essense, is a terrible idea.

That's 20 years from now, who cares, are you really going to be playing video games when you're 40 years old?

Pachter is evolving, instead of making claims that fall flat on their face in weeks, months, he's making them so far ahead he'll be accountable to nobody.lamprey263
