OnLive: The Future of Video Games
Jun 25, 8:43pm    (34 reviews)  video-games  http://www.onlive.com/
OnLive is one of a few startups focusing on streaming video games:
It looks like video games will be more profitable and easier to deploy to those with a decent net connection.
As well as much easier to protect from piracy, so potentially much more profitable.
I expect at some point game publishers like EA Games will start to release some new games exclusively via streaming.
If this stuff gets popular I'm not sure what will happen to devices like Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Wii et al.

I hear more money is being spent on video games than movies.
Makes me wonder how long cinemas have left.
