Title: Shinra Tech.
Post by: minorcharacter on September 19, 2014, 09:15:15 AM
First, cloud-gaming, next mako energy, finally the world.

I know it's not uniquely a new idea, but this model could change the future of gaming.  Instead of buying games we could see a future in paying nominal monthly fees to use this resource and play the game.  I'm surprised Blizzard hasn't or isn't already moving towards this idea, or are they?  A lot of their popular games such as Diablo 3 and LOL require internet connection.  Rather than having to pay $60 bucks and the total cost for upgrading my gaming computer for the let down that is D3, I would have loved to pay, let's say, $15-$30, a month in a yearly subscription to be able to play all their games.
