In the worst case, you buy for full price and pay 14.95 to play.

Which is the same business model currently used by most MMO games, and doesn't seem unreasonable considering what you get. They're aiming to instantly deliver big name games, with no download or install, to any machine capable of streaming video. If they pull it off, it'll be a big deal. I'm honestly not sure the infrastructure is there yet, but I definitely admire what they're trying to do. We'll see what happens.
Continuing my personal publicity campaign, I remind you all that OnLive launches tomorrow.

Not yet interested, but watching. I'm curious about how game ownership will work. (or not) *NM*

I can see that long-term, but the overlap of games I already own would be a huge rip-off.

Well no, I wouldn't re-buy a game. I almost never play old games, though.

Sales matter when good, under-publicized games don't sell millions, which means no sequels.

I just meant that the actual numbers aren't important. The dollars coming in obviously are.

What's the price that you pay for a new game?

To be fair, I said that was the worst case. We don't really know the pricing model yet.

True, though I'm assuming we do now (it launched a couple days ago, right? )

Me too. When I posted this, I didn't realize it was a phased rollout or whatever.
