    What do you expect? Few will be able to afford to play their whizbang-5000 games. We already saw it play out with VR.

      You might be right. But charging them $15 a month to stream their whizbang-5000 games is still an option. Especially for Microsoft and Sony. (And Amazon wants in on that too.)

          I will say technologically my trials of both Google Stadia and Xbox Live Play Anywhere were both impressive and ran well for single player and co-op games. But the idea of actually paying an ongoing fee to play my games? Fuck that.

              Yeah, perhaps they’ll start bundling network play time with the game and we won’t have a choice aside from playing our existing games.
