@NorseLax09: It's 10 a month for the service, not the entire library. You still have to pay for your games. The developers still have to get paid. Otherwise, I also don't see why people are upset about losing physical media. Their excuse for not being able to resell can easily be addressed. Went into detail in my above comment.
@Naylord: The irony of this complaint is analogous to when the internet blew up and printing companies where complaining about how this is the end game. Explain how this will hurt consumers? If anything, it'll benefit the environment more as opposed to printing all those gaming covers made of plastic that won't do anything besides collect dust for the most part. Secondly, I'm sure they'll find a way to create a market to enable consumers to sell their digital copies. Each purchase of the game can create a unique hash tied to the user account, and through a simple trade function created in a library you can either sell, temporarily let someone borrow your hash for x amount of days, etc. Once you sell your game, that uniquely identifiable hash will transfer to the user, and removed from your accounts database......ROCKET SCIENCE.
@saganage: Have to agree with you. If ISP is an issue for you, then this is not for you. I'm pretty sure Google, a hightech company is aware of the latency issues in certain regions. Netflix sucks when I go to the cabins, I wouldn't expect this type of a service to work where the first sign of civilization is 200 miles away from a datacenter.
@nativepixel: But they did figure us out with the first releases. And ever since the last game there have been other masterpieces that came out on other platforms. Compared to those and all the other good games that came out, this looks like a giant step backwards, especially when there are amazing examples of how a game should work already out there. Improvise off of that.
@Blackened_Halo: Metacritic also gave FFXIII an 83 (for PS3), Gamespot gave it an 8.5. FF13 was considered the worst game in the series by many fans. So yes, a lot of us are shocked that after 10 years it got an 8 and not at least a 9, because we all know good and well that FFXIII was not that great. This score can very well be sugar coated, cause most of the time, games that have a score of at least 8.5 are higher are spot on. If this game is truly an 8, (which I hope) then that's a good thing, but I don't have that much faith when even FFXIII received high scores and sucked.
