      you can game on high end equipment without buying it.

      This is how they get you to give up ownership of your games. I’m fine with it as an option, but I fear that one day publishers will decide it should be the only option.

          It’s not exactly hard for me to make “backups” of most games I can download, as the DRM is usually cracked within weeks or months of release.

          A single player game that is exclusive to streaming would just be gone forever the instant it gets delisted.
