I recently switched back to PC gaming from Xbox360 gaming simply because xbox live is just to popular for its own good...Its full of either casual gamers or just people to immature to play multiplayer games with ultimately bringing down the experience. If onlive has multiplayer functions I fear a similar result to PC gaming. And how will game developers Push graphics further? They would be held hostage to Onlive's abilty to provide those graphics to its end user. All onlive is a middle man. We seem to be very good at it in america, find something that works and see if you can some how get in the middle of it to leech some money out of the consumer while complicating everything in the process.
