Lucibel: Onlive's prices are pretty high for a service that don't even sell you a downloadable product. If you spend $30 on a game and then they remove it after their contract with a company expires, you're screwed.

Another thought, which probably won't happen, is if it gets really popular publishers could decide to use Onlive as the only outlet to publish games. It's the only DRM that could kill piracy.
Exactly, no matter what I will never ever ever buy anything from onlive.

That's paranoia speaking, can either of you two actually cite anywhere in the EULA that allows that? They don't remove games based upon licensing, they stop selling new games, just like here. As long as the software still runs they provide you with the service.

And it's not really that expensive, especially if you compare it with consoles.

I can't speak for the current state of OnLive, but shortly after they launched, games they were "selling" were considered "playpasses" and were only going to be supported for 3 years, meaning basically you get the "Full Playpass" and there is an end date for how long you "have" the game. Granted they likely have the option to support it longer, if they want, but that is at their whim, not the subscribers. Also I don't know why anyone would use this as a viable option due to never getting a physical or even digital copy.

Yeah that one in particular is complete bull xD

That said, we pay less for uprising strangely (2,49 euro)

A)You rent games from them, only, no matter what else they might call it.
B)You NEED to have internet connection ALL THE TIME, to play any game.
C)Screw them.

trusteft: B)You NEED to have internet connection ALL THE TIME, to play any game.
Well, duh. Their product literally would not work without an Internet connection. I don't think that's really a valid complaint about the system.

My main complaint about them is the horrid resoultion and graphics settings they force you to run your games at, especially with a widescreen monitor...
More UbiDRM games come crashing down in price. GetGames have Hawx 2 for £14.99. Settlers 7 for £9.99 and Silent Hunter 5 for £9.99.

Delixe: Settlers 7 for £9.99
Sweet, hope that happens to the steam version soon xD (doubt it)

Kind of want the Crusader Kings bundle, but not on Impulse, will wait till GG has it on sale.

Also added Seven Kingdoms 2 to my wishlist here after seeing it on sale somewhere else :)
