OnLive Remote Gaming Service Launches In June

adeelarshad82 writes "After eight years of development, remote gaming service OnLive is scheduled to roll out on June 17 for Windows and Mac. The company also announced its service pricing: users will need to pay $14.95 per month, which will allow them access to the service. However, the company did not disclose the price to rent or purchase games. 'It is partnering in this launch with publishers including Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, 2K Games, THQ and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The games will also include new releases like Mass Effect 2, Borderlands, Assassin’s Creed II, as well as a bunch of other titles. Perlman anticipates anywhere from a dozen to 25 titles to be available at launch time, and more after that, depending on how negotiations with other publishers proceed.'"

Re:Wrong business model

This "all you can eat" price for using the shared server only encourages people to pirate games.

Oh, bullshit. People pirate games for one reason only: they are amoral entitled assholes who want free entertainment.

This just encourages people to come up with more bullshit justifications for pirating games, which is not the same thing at all.
