If you play single player, I'd hate losing my singleplayer game because my internet connection went out too... and there's a lot of stuff you can do with bought games that you can't do if you rent games. For example: there's plugins, addons, modding, editing settings (bugs appear), and I don't think it's possible to play games like broodwar on iccup using this service (iccup requires you to browse to the starcraft directory). It's a nice concept, but in order for it to be worthwhile for me, it'd need to be more standardized. In order for it to be more standardized, it'd need to be more worthwhile to everyone. Catch 22. I'll try it when I want to play better games. | ||

Also, this may deter some people to ever get a decent computer, and I could foresee problems with beta-testing indie games that haven't yet got into the monopolizing (is that even a word? You get my point) OnLive cooperation - in the coldest of hells that is. This is a cool idea nontheless.. I wonder how the algorithm works..' EDIT: Just tried Dirt 3 and I had about 300 ms delay on my 10mb/s connection. In Denmark, I think that's okay. | ||

The screen becomes blurry and the lag is horrible and this is bad for me since I'm very sensitive to it. If I'm playing a FPS and there even is a half a second delay then it feels unplayable for me. EDIT: But like so many others has said, a cool idea indeed and with better IT in the future it might work with nearly zero lag. | ||

I hope this will be an exception from the old adage - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The old adage has truth to it, but 'probably' is far from set in stone. If something is 'probably' going to be the case, that only means it will be most of the time. Most of the time is not to be confused with all of the time. | ||

If you press turn left in WOW for example your character has 0 delay in turning left, even if you have 500 MS. The client stays synced with server to make sure you never get too out of hand. Now because all that client side processing is on a server some where all the traditional lag hiding tricks are indeed useless, so even a tiny amount of lag will be noticeable. This will probably take another 10 years of telecommunications infrastructure upgrades before it becomes exciting  | ||

Maybe one day, I can hope an idea like this becomes flawless. I'm in a situation where I can't really play video games... One can only dream | ||
