Very true, and this is another reason I'm not happy with cloud: gaming is in desperate need of regulation and best practices when it comes to how the content is provided, serviced, and guaranteed to remain available. Cloud is another attempt to push gaming into less of an owned product and more of a subbed service, which doesn't help any of that.

Its not healthy for the gaming space to have a majority of subscribers instead of owners.
