If they launched it in japan it would make money. I mean guys over there get free 10m connections for gods sake.

Also, since all these games are stored and run on their server, you're limited as to what you can play, and you're limited as far as mods go as well. It's a horrible idea all around.

Don't forget with Onlive you have to worry about the greatest threat to the internet.. the backhoe.
Internet connections are easily severed, accounts accidentally broken, and tons more fun issues can happen server side.

So, no one actually thinks this guy works for Onlive - and is either guaging us or doing viral marketing??
Certainly looks like a marketing ploy to me... But to answer his question - it will be a cold day in hell before that gains any traction.

On Topic: I really don't think so, just imagine the fact that every single house would need at least, 6mbps download and 2mbps upload, this, at least, in countries like Mexico, is IMPOSSIBLE!!! Also, what about the latency? Just look at this:  Now, imagine this ping while plaing online with that thing...

Its a good concept but has the obvious flaw, latency.
Anything more than 20ms latency on a mouse would KILL any fps game.
