"Let's say the ease of cloud gaming turns a few console and casual gamers onto PC titles. The PC's revenue share increases. Title budgets increase. Publishers fund adventurous projects to create new franchises, so we get original games like Outcast and Grim Fandango again.

Remotely accessed content poses a big problem for pirates, so digital theft figures drop and DRM becomes less draconic. A renaissance for the PC, all thanks to cloud gaming."

Interesting article with a positive outlook overall. Thanks for posting it!

No problem. ONLIVE is my modern gaming platform of choice and the service has been pretty much awesome since I started using it.
