I cannot imagine paying for a game that can only be streamed. At least with say, Steam or Origin or whatever, I download the game files to my PC and if something happens, I can hack those. With this the files never reside there. Subscription fees I get, but paying for individual games? What happens when Google inevitably gives up on this like they do with everything else? You are just fucked? Lol. Do they hand out Steam keys to go with? What happens? This level of ownership is worse than the current digital services by far because you never get to actually download the files. Yuck yuck yuck.

They basically need servers locally in every city they want the service to work in or it'll be shit imo. Unless they know how to magically make latency go away, that might be their actual plan. ISPs will let you slap servers into the best kind of places for enough money if I'm not mistaken.

Google has a lot of servers but yeah, I don't see PAYING for this being a good idea until it proves itself. It's rare for Google to hit bumps in the road due to server capacity, but if anything did it, this would be it.

The biggest killer feature I've seen so far is that you can basically have save states for the games. That is fucking awesome. Just essentially pause it then come back later like a ROM. Definitely like that. The rest I dunno. Streaming has never been great for this. We will have to see how well Google can actually do this. I am not REALLY going to care because I have a gaming PC but who knows.
