It's like how everyone was trying to get in on VR a few years ago, they all want in on that streaming money while it's still early.

It's almost as if it's the next logical step

So you'll continue to pay them... Forever.

If you never have a permanent copy of the game it means they can resell it to you later when the service inevitably ends

So they can sell online tickets at expos like E3 where they charge you bucku bucks to be able to stream the beta tests that people on the show floor are able to play

gl playing games with latency, retard.

because pic related. You cunts should have seen this coming when Micro$oft started charging for online. You could have stopped this future from becoming reality. But you didn't. I never paid for online so I wash my hands of any and all guilt or culpability. You made this new Rome, now watch it burn.

Because in terms of money, they can control all the content, and "games as a service" starts milking people for every penny they can be parted with.

because that's what's happening? normalfags will definitely pick up on that. hardcore gaming will be a thing of the past in ten years

It's the current trending technology. People always try to find a way to exploit new technology for money gains.

Yeah this.

Non-meme answer:

They don't want you to be able to own a game. They want you to subscribe to a service.

It gives them more control and more money.

Steamers are literally free advertisement.
Most people find what games to buy based on what looks fun on streams.

Your and idiom.

They think it's the future. Realistically the player base for a streaming video game should be bigger than brick and mortar gamers. It eliminates the hurdle of having a PC/Console that can play the game. So random joe just has to buy a controller.

That's not what OP meant. Streams as in Google's stadia.

Watch, this shit isn't gonna fly. It's gonna be Onlive 2.0.

>the future of gaming is not yours

Because it gives the customer less control of their games. You will play on their terms and their terms only. Games will officially be beyond saving soon.

These are the right answers.

>VR failed
The Quest is doing pretty good. They were just trying to push it too early, is all. Give it a couple years for the prices to drop and for adoption to go up. The VR Waifu age will arrive soon enough, user.

to kill piracy
You can't crack the game if you don't have access to it's files.

To be honest the ultimate Xbox package looks pretty dope. Shame other great games are on different platforms.

So they can keep jewing money out of you because you don’t own anything anymore
